Contraception and VD - Aids?


Expert: DW - 2/27/2009

Question
QUESTION: What if a person with AIDS tries to pop one of your pimples but they are wearing fake nails and the nails are at least a half inch above her skin or real nails,so her real nails didn't really touch the pimple,can you get AIDS from that?

ANSWER: I think there would not be too much chance of this happening. Here is a good article I found on the internet that you can read
http://www.uptodate.com/patients/content/topic.do?topicKey=hiv_aids/4460

But anyway, in my opinion, I don't think you should worry. Just watch for the symptoms kind of in the back of your mind. Good luck.

QUESTION: Is HIV a STD or is it just another name for AIDS or something?

Answer
Here is an article that explains the difference. Scroll down all the way to the bottom of the page to read the entire article. Hope this is helpful. http://www.essortment.com/all/hivaidsdiffere_pdo.htm

I'm not sure how many followup questions you can ask so if the system doesn't let you ask any more questions, just email me. My email address is DWooley97@yahoo.com and just put ALLEXPERTS in the subject line.
