Weā€™re now over 2000 dead. Over double that of SARS. Still nowhere near the Swine Flu (H1N1) outbreak in 2009 which killed over 200 thousand.

People are escaping quarantine in China which makes me want to rant about them because of their foolish irresponsibility toward the world.

Michele if you died of pneumonia it would probably not be reported to the media as HIV complicated pneumonia.

I donā€™t trust figures and statistics but reported 75%+ will develop PCP ( pneumocystis carinii pneumonia) without preventive treatment. Maybe the drugs are weakening the immune system and the immune system is relying too much on drugs so they are letting things go.

How would you feel about an HIV/AIDS quarantine?

55

At the height of the AIDS epidemic, I sometimes wondered if that would have been sound. HIV infection rates are way down, however, and it seems unnecessary now.

56

Any deadly airborne disease that has the potential to spread like fire undetected for any length of time should be quarantined. :roll_eyes:

57

AIDS is not contagious. If you donā€™t understand it, you should probably quarantine yourself until you educate yourself about it.

58

Of course AIDS is contagious.

sure, but there are many ways of being quarantined, for example those that were being locked up on that cruiser shipā€¦ how many would not be infected if they were quarantined separately?

hiv is contagious , but the vast majority of your daily activities pose no risk of hiv transmission. only certain body fluids ā€” blood, semen, vaginal fluid, anal fluid, and breast milk ā€” can spread hiv . it canā€™t be transmitted via saliva, sweat, skin, feces, or urine.

64

Contagious disease: A communicable disease that can spread rapidly from person to person through direct contact (touching a person who has the infection), indirect contact (touching a contaminated object), or droplet contact (inhaling droplets made when a person who has the infection coughs, sneezes, or talks).

You may be confusing contagious with transmittable. There is a difference, BubbleBoy.

65

Nope. Iā€™m not sure where you cherry picked your definition from but here are some correct ones. AIDS (or more properly HIV) is most definitely a contagious disease. You may be confusing airborne with contagious. There is a difference.

I feel like you sort of posted the same definition I did. Fortunately, Iā€™m bigger than you so Iā€™ll say it.

Your right and Iā€™m wrong.
Itā€™s cough contagious.

i guess technically yes; if someone with hiv has blood, semen, vaginal fluid, anal fluid or breast milk in their mouth and if you have one of these fluids in your mouth as well then yes its contagious via coughingā€¦

(if you were standing reaaaaally close because hiv cant survive in the air)
