It is said that a boy gets infected by HIV if he eats "PaniPuri / sandwiches" or any other food of infected person.
But believe me this is 100% wrong, there's nothing to do HIV with eating.
Also rumors were around that if somebody got pricked by an HIV infected needle, he/she may also suffer from HIV.
But now let me bring the real picture to you, HIV is a disease which spreads only through blood or semen.
You might even be surprised to know that having oral sex does not harm any person even if HIV-infected patient coughs and another person is exposed to his sputum (cough).
It is quite interesting to know that, the virus still can not transmit because concentration of virus particles in sputum is almost NIL & exposure to air anyway kills virus in fraction of seconds.
And in case the HIV person gets any injury like cut or anything else, you are not going to get infected by the blood until unless the bleeding is very high.
HIV viruses cannot survive in any liquid other than blood or semen, and that if it exists in blood, HIV can only exist for fraction seconds only.
Exposure of less than 1 second in AIR KILLS the HIV virus (story of needle pricks in Cinema theatres goes down the drain).
Even if the blood from a wound (of infected person) dries up (blood clot), the virus dies and can not infect anyone else HIV transmission is ONLY an INFECTION i.
e.
entrance of virus in one's body.
It DOES NOT MEAN AIDS.
An HIV-infected person (after entrance of virus) can progress to condition of AIDS only after "8 to 10 YEARS (not in 15 days as in the mentioned story) It is not HIV (virus) that kills a human", but the virus attacks immune cells (cells that fight against foreign pathogens/antigens) and hence a person's ability to fight against infections & diseases slowly diminishes and person ultimately dies of a disease which could be as simple as TB.
Most importantly, HIV is no longer dreadful disease ...
it is a "CHRONIC MANAGEABLE DISEASE" just like Diabetes or Hypertension.
If there is anything you need to be careful from to prevent HIV is Unsafe Sex, Blood Transfusion (check before taking) / Blood donation (use sterilized needles only) and any blood contact during an accident or so where amount of bleeding is very high.
SUCH INFORMATION IS STRICTLY FOR THE USE OF HUMANITY...
SO GO ON AND DOES THE GOOD WORK...
PASS IT ON TO OTHERS...
