The presence of HIV ?!


Question: The presence of HIV !?
Hello everyone i would like to know some information about HIV!. It is said that HIV is spread is one of the INFECTED person has unprotected sex with another person!. But what i don't understand is that how does one peron get infected in the first place!. Suppose i had unprotected sex with my girlfriend and she has had sexual contact with someone else in the past, that too unprotected but both of them were tested negative!. I mean does it still mean i can have an HIV!. What i dont understand is it that HIV is present already in every human being but is present in different loads some more or less i mean how can a person just get infected like that!. I mean people in the olden days use to have multiple sex partners but there was no Aids scare!. This i am taking about 1 century old phenomena!. I mean how come now only the Virus is in full swing!. That too if it wasnt in so many countries earlier !. Coz it was supposedly started in Africa, then how did it speard to other countries and infected so many people so rapidly!. Basically the crux is that i do understand that u get HIV with a person infected with HIV but what i dont understand is that how does one in the first place get infected by HIV and how will you come to know if that person is!. I am sure out of the blue noone can get infected!.

Answers:
I think what you mean to ask is who first had HIV!.
Basically, HIV began a long time ago in primates (monkeys), but the virus was known as something else, and to those primates, was not harmful!.
It is thought that this virus was passed onto a human (not by sex, but through blood transfusion!. The infected blood may have got into a wound of a human, a hunter could be the explanation for this)!.

When the virus is passed onto a different species, the strain of the virus can mutate - this indeed happened when humans got the virus, which we now know as HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)!.

The HIV epidemic began back in the 80's in November among gay men!. It's easier to catch HIV through anal sex because anal tissue tends to tear easily, and semen can contain the HIV virus!. If semen gets into the cut, the transfusion of the virus takes place!.

It is less likely for vaginal sex to pass on HIV, but it happens a lot!.

If your girlfriend and her past partners have all been negative in HIV tests, then you will not catch it from her either!. Humans do not carry HIV in their genes and pass it on in younger generations, it is a disease and does not go away!.

A human catching HIV is just like a human catching a cold - if you are in relationships or just get close to people, it will spread!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its not present in humans or in our body already!.!. it is transmitted with all what we heard!. last answer was good about history of origin of HIV!. its chain of transmission!.!. if u had sex with one of infected person WITHOUT PROPER PRECAUTIONS u might suffer this diseaser!.!. so the best option is try to avoid unprotected sex!.!.

ENJOY

the first person that got hiv was back in the 70's and 80's!. no one knew anything about it until people started dying!. over the years there was enought info to spread world wide!. its really a scary thing!. basically dont put your self at risk!. always use a condom and limit your self to one partner!. its like a chain, people have sex with everyones ex's when using unprotected sex Www@Answer-Health@Com

HIV is spread by sexual contact, it is also spread by infusion of infected blood, tho less so in this country because now we test donated blood for the virus!. But that is a fairly recent development!. A great many people in the US got HIV from donated blood in the seventies and the eighties!. It is also spread thru sharing of needles among drug users!. So, you can see there is more than one way to get infected!. As for where it started, that still is under debate, and how it got from one place to another is pretty easy, someone infected came to the US!. Suggest if you want to know more, you should google "the history of HIV"Www@Answer-Health@Com
