How long is it possible to carry an STD without any symptoms?
For both male and female.
Depending on the particular infection, some people will never show signs, but will be carriers.
If you suspect that you have an STD, and you later give it to someone else, you can be subject to prosecution for all manner of things, including assault with intent to cause bodily harm, which is a pretty serious felony.

what is the symptoms of hiv-aids?and how can you detect or know that you are an aids victim?
and where does aid come from and how it transfer from one another?
WARNING: Do not use Yahoo! Answers as a medical diagnosis tool. Always consult your doctor.
Within 7-10 days of intially being infected with HIV, most individuals (80 to 90 %) develop an acute syndrome characterised by flu-like symptoms of fever, malaise, lymphadenopathy, pharyngitis, headache, myalgia, and sometimes a rash (Kahn and Walker, 1998). Within an average of three weeks after transmission of HIV-1, a broad HIV-1 specific immune response occurs that includes seroconversion. Because of the nonspecific nature of these illnesses, it is often not recognized as a sign of HIV infection. Even if patients go to their doctors or a hospital, they will often be misdiagnosed as having one of the more common infectious diseases with the same symptoms. Since not all patients develop it, and since the same symptoms can be caused by many other common diseases, it cannot be used as an indicator of HIV infection. However, recognizing the syndrome is important because the patient is much more infectious during this period.
HIV is transmitted various ways:
Sexual route. The majority of HIV infections are acquired through unprotected sexual relations. Sexual transmission occurs when there is contact between sexual secretions of one partner with the rectal, genital or mouth mucous membranes of another. The probability of transmission per act is between 1 in 53 to 1 in 10,000 for the case of receptive vaginal sex (Pilcher et al., 2004), 1 in 8000 in the case of insertive vaginal sex, 1 in 1000 in the case of insertive anal sex, and between 1 in 100 to 1 in 30 in the case of receptive anal sex.
Blood or blood product route. This transmission route is particularly important for intravenous drug users, hemophiliacs and recipients of blood transfusions and blood products. health care workers (nurses, laboratory workers, doctors, etc) are also concerned, although more rarely. Also concerned by this route are people who give and receive tattoos and piercings.
Mother-to-child route. The transmission of the virus from the mother to the child can occur in utero during the last weeks of pregnancy and at childbirth. Breast feeding also presents a risk of infection for the baby. In the absence of treatment, the transmission rate between the mother and child was 20%. However, where treatment is available, combined with the availability of Cesarian section, this has been reduced to 1%.
HIV has been found in the saliva, tears and urine of infected individuals, but due to the low concentration of virus in these biological liquids, the risk is considered to be negligible.
AIDS is the most severe manifestation of infection with HIV. Acute HIV infection progresses over time to clinical latent HIV infection and then to early symptomatic HIV infection and later, to AIDS, which is identified on the basis of certain infections.

Do HIV early symptoms appear all together at the same time?
Hi, do the early HIV symptoms (fatigue, rash, aches, nausea, fever, sore throa, swollen lymph glandst etc) happen at the same time or is it possible that they could be one after another?
It normally happens at the same time. However, those symptoms do not always occur, nor do they all happen at the same time ALL OF THE TIME.
Sometimes people may just feel weak and have swollen glands. I know one person who never had any symptoms. She found out she had HIV when she wanted to donate blood to the Red Cross. She probably had a flu and just thought that she was sick, when in fact, those were probably her symptoms.

RPR test - false positive - do i have syphilis - I had no symptoms and I have not had any sex for over 2 yrs
I TESTED FALSE POSITIVE ON A BLOOD TEST THAT I TOOK AT A PLASMA DONATING CENTER - I WAS INFORMED I COULD NOT DONATE ANYMORE - I THEN WENT TO THE V.A. HOSPITAL AND HAD A SERIES OF BLOOD WORK DONE - ALL RESULTS CAME BACK NORMAL - RPR WAS NON-REACTIVE NEGATIVE - TEST FOR LUPUS WAS ALSO NEGATIVE - SHOULD I HAVE ANY MORE TESTS DONE TO CHECK FOR SYPHILIS -
that is a decision that you and your doctor will have to make. sometimes it is possible that the disease will lay dormant for a while....but talk to your doctor!

Aids And Symptoms
December 1, the World AIDS Day
December 1 is recalled as the World AIDS Day. It is a method to educate the people about AIDS so that we can concentrate on the fight against AIDS and have the future planning to fight against it and find a solid solution to delete it from our planet earth.
What is AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)? It is a disorder of cell mediated immune system of the body. There is a reduction in the number of cells called helper T-cells which stimulate antibody production by B-cells. This result in the loss of natural defense against viral infection.
AIDS-Related Complex (ARC) It is a mild form of AIDS. Its symptoms are swollen lymph nodes, fever, sweating at night and weight loss. Patients with ARC have a high possibility of early development of AIDS. ARC is also known as a predromal AIDS.
Discovery of AIDS AIDS was first noticed in USA in h-o-m-o-s-e-x-u-a-l-s in 1981. Virus of AIDS was isolated and identified by Prof. Luc Montagnier in France in 1983 and almost the same time by Prof. Robert Gallo in USA. AIDS infections were detected in India for the first time in prostitutes of Chennai in 1986.
The AIDS virus may have passed from a monkey host into human population in Africa during 1960s.
Pathogen (Causative Agent) The virus was identified and named as HCLV III (Human cell leukemia Virus III), but now the name of the virus is changed to HIV (Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus). Structure of AIDS virus: it consist of glycoprotein cost, double layer of lipid membranes and two protein coats. It contains RNA and reverse transcriptase enzyme.
Incubation Period The incubation period of HIV is between 15-27 months. Average incubation period is 28 months. Diagnosis: AIDS can be diagnosed by ELISA test and WESTERN BLOT test (year 2004). Treatment: No specific treatments of AIDS have been found so far (year 2004) and the mortality from AIDS is 100%. Still two treatments are tried:
Antiviral therapy-against pathogen (HIV)
Immuno-stimulative therapy to increase the number of resistance-providing cells in the body. A drug named Zidovudine prolongs the life of AIDS patients.
Reason for AIDS
AIDS virus is transmitted only via:
Blood
Semen
Therefore the main causes for AIDS are the following: Transmission of infected blood or blood products.
Use of contaminated needles and syringes to inject drugs or vaccines.
Use of contaminated razors.
Use of contaminated needles.
Having s-e-x with an infected partner without a c-o-n-d-o-m.
Parturition from mother to baby due to rupturing of blood vessels.
Artificial insemination.
Organ transplant.
Precaution against AIDS At present we don’t have a perfect treatment to cure AIDS because no vaccine has been prepared so far against AIDS virus but a lot of precautions have been suggested. Following are the most important measures that may help in preventing the AIDS.
Use c-o-n-do-m while having s-e-x with such a partner about whom your knowledge is limited. Best is you should not maintain s-e-x-u-a-l relations with more than one partner. And a message to boys (men), have respect for girls (women), have s-e-x you’re your beloved/wife only don’t use them as s-e-x gadget.
Pay attention while donating blood for any purpose, Disposable needles and syringes should be used. Used needles and syringes must be destroyed.
Use your own blade and shaving razor and don’t share it with anyone, anyone means not even your family members.
Pay attention while taking treatment from a doctor, for example dentist should use sterilized equipments.
Take all precautionary First Aid measures while treating a wound or injuries i.e. wear hand gloves to prevent a direct contact with blood of the patient.
Myths about AIDS, it cannot be acquired by the following:
AIDS does not spread through air, water and normal physical contact.
It does not spread through insect bites like mosquito bites.
It does not spread through k-i-s-s-i-n-g, shaking hands, coughing and sneezing.
It does not spread through sharing towels, utilities, telephone, swimming pools and toilets.
If a husband or wife is suffering from AIDS then it is not necessary that its partner too have the disease.
It is not necessary that a mother suffering from AIDS will always give birth to a child suffering from AIDS, new born babies can be protected by giving proper treatment.
Our Social Duties AIDS cannot be removed from the earth unless we understand our social duties. To fight against AIDS we should perform these duties:
A person suffering from AIDS should not maintain s-e-x-u-a-l relations with anyone.
A person suffering from AIDS should take proper medical treatment when get injured and prevent any one to come in direct contact with the HIV infected blood.
We should not hate the AIDS patients instead increase their moral to a normal social life.
We should follow the necessary medical precautions listed above to live along the HIV infected person.
We should educate the people about AIDS like this or any other means.
AIDS reference centers in India
In India, four reference centers have been established (2004)
AIIMS, New Delhi
National Institute of Communicable Diseases, New Delhi
National Institute of Virology, Pune
Centre for Advanced Research on Virology, CMC, Vollore.
