answers 0:I have a roommate who I suspect may have hiv. He always has unprotected sex with prostitutes and stuff like that...Can I have HIV from him if he has it? We share the same bathroom but I am always careful about using my own toothbrush and razor. So what can I do to avoid infection ??answers 1:Unless you have sex with him, it is very very rare that you will get HIV from him.answers 2:Cutting between the third and forth esophageal cartilage and putting in a small tube or anything that will keep the opening open to aide in breathing will work.answers 3:after done testing u are negative , u can go donate some blood at blood bank. save a life. make sure your tests are all neagtives. with elisaanswers 4:if you can't breath becasue of a forein object (lol at possible made in china jokes i could make!!!) then they cut it open and pump air in, but that doesn't happen oftenanswers 5! :Studies have documented that osteopenia and osteoporosis are more common among HIV-positive patients, compared to HIV-negative individuals of the same sex and age. However, the reasons for this are not clear.Is HIV infection itself to blame? Possibly. A number of potential connections between HIV and bone loss are being studied. For example, HIV infection can increase certain proteins in the body â€" including interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) â€" that may also be responsible for accelerated bone loss. It's also possible that the constant level of T-cell activation in the body may have an effect on bones. Some researchers have also speculated that HIV's ability to infect cells in the bone marrow may be to blame.It's also possible that the medications used to treat HIV may have a negative effect on bone health. There have been studies linking protease inhibitors (PIs) and nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor! s (NRTIs) to decreased BMD in HIV-positive people. Some resear! ch suggests that protease inhibitors can impair the way the body utilizes vitamin D, which is essential to bone health. There has also been research suggesting that the mitochondrial toxicity caused by some NRTIs can impair the function of osteoblasts. Additionally, there has been research linking body-shape changes (lipodystrophy) â€" which can be caused by PIs and NRTIs â€" to decreased bone density. However, there have been several studies contradicting these findings; some studies actually showed improved bone strength in people taking anti-HIV medications, including protease inhibitors. Clearly, more research is needed to determine what, if any, connection there is between anti-HIV medications and decreased bone loss in HIV-positive people.Researchers seem to agree on one thing: the risk of osteopenia/osteoporosis increases with the length of time someone has been infected with HIV. Moreover, HIV-positive people who have other risk factors for osteopenia/osteoporosis, ! such as those listed in "What are the risk factors for osteoporosis?" may be at an increased risk for these bone problems.But there is good news: even though rates of osteopenia and osteoporosis are higher in HIV-infected people, studies have not found that HIV-positive people are experiencing serious bone fractures at a higher rate than their age-matched HIV-negative peers....answers 6:Your fears are really due to lack of knowledge as most of our fears our. You are correct do not use any item that could have your roommates blood on it, nor any item that has saliva such as a used toothbrush. Make sure all dishes are washed properly, alot of people like to add alittle bleach to their dishwasher, or to their dishpan if washing by hand, did u know bleach kills hiv, and of course many other germs and bacteria. As for being in danger of hiv from living with someone who may have, you will not get. Doing the above, and of course not having sexual relations of any kind with this p! erson. Also if your roommate has any illness requiring needles u do not! want to get poked, make sure roommate disposes of them properly. If your roommate were to become injured such as a bad cut etc. that has them bleeding u must be careful if u were needed to help, by that rubber gloves before say putting a bandage on etc. also alot of people are not aware that if a hiv or aids person were bleeding, or had spit, mucus etc. any bodily fluid secreting or gushing,spraying etc. u must protect your eyes, they are a mucus membrane and u can get hiv or aids if blood etc. were to enter the eye.Most if not all dentist now not only wear gloves,mask but goggles, for that protection, since while doing dental work there is blood, and spit that could be a danger. In general u r ok having this person for a roommate, as long as u r informed.Daily contact etc. will not give u hiv, I am very aware of this I have friends with hiv, and had worked as a dental assistant. One more thing I would like to say, if u really r so uneasy, your roommate will notice there ! is something going on, u may want to discuss the issue, u can do in a way that should not cause a problem, just explain ur concern over their sexual practices and that as a roommate and friend u r concerned, never know they may even get tested! Hope all this helps and eases your mind....answers 7:I think you can catch HIV through sex.answers 8:Only if you have exchanged bodily fluids. i.e., had sexual intercourse with your roommate. Also, if you have shared needles, you could get HIV. Or, if he left blood on say, a counter and you cut yourself and mixed it with his blood. I would say it would be kinda difficult to get HIV just from living with someone who has it. If you want to be extra careful, you should clean all surfaces regularly with household bleach. This kills any virus which might reside.answers 9:Are they even common? Are rapid tests known to cause false negatives? Can I trust my negative rapid test? I tested after the window period. Besides testing durin! g the window period, what else causes false negatives?answers 10:It's a! really big scar like a round one maybe there was a tube in thereanswers 11:the best thing would be to get a new roommate, but, other than that just make sure you do not come into contact with his blood or semen. Even if he has a small cut you need to not touch it, also, why don't you have him go get tested. I mean, he should want to know and if he does know then he should tell you.answers 12:Its transmitted via blood and bodily fluids. So steer clear of any of his possessions that may contain those. As long as you don't have any open wounds or have sex with him then you will not catch the disease. Just be careful anyway though.answers 13:Can't get it without an exchange of bodily fluids. Might want to encourage him to get tested though, and stop engaging in hihg-risk behavioranswers 14:She had a tracheotomy because the air passage was clogged by something.
