It is important to remember that sexual contact isn't the only way to contract the AIDS causing disease. HIV is also spread through blood contact, hypodermic needles, from parent to child during birth, and from parent to child when breastfeeding. While the virus can only live for 5 minutes outside the body, it is still a deadly and infectious disease. AIDS is the third stage of the HIV disease and, as of now, there is no cure.
As of the end of 2010, an estimated 34 million people were living with HIV/AIDS in the world, and 1.8 million had died from AIDS. In the US alone, every 9 1/2 minutes a person is infected with HIV.
Do yourself a favor and get checked for HIV/AIDS today.
