Why do you take aids test if there is no cure for it , so live your life till you get sick?

Just wondering!!

It is always a good thing to know if you are going to die and not to transmit anything you have to anyone else. It's called being responsible.

Only the ignorant ones do. you obviously need to educate yourself on the subject.

Because you don't want to spread it stupid!

For one, so you don't unknowingly spread the disease.

so that u wont go around infecting ppl with ur aids by having unprotected sex with every human of the opposite sex u get laid with, and so that u can prolong ur life another few miserable years? just wondering too

If you have HIV and you dont know it, you can transmit it to others. If you KNOW you have it, you can warn your partners and take precautions so that they will be safe. I'm surprised you didn't think of this yourself.

Unless you totally abstain from sexual activity, you need to know whether you may pose a threat to a sexual partner. Deliberately spreading AIDS is a criminal offense.

It's this thing called you can get into legal trouble if you pass it unto others, and with good reason! That's committing murder!

The fact that anyone with decent conscious would test themselves and be up front if they have it.

So you can keep your nasty dick/ puss to yourself, and let the rest of us live!

well because if you have it and don't know then you could be spreading it around.

and if you know you have it and still spread it then your guilty or murder or at least attempted murder.

plus there are also treatments for it which can slow it down and in some cases even stop it

i would feel awful if i gave something to someone i love. my boyfriend and i still get tested regularly, because it can lay dormant for years.

.... so you don't.... spread it.. to people you... don't want... to spread it to...? or possibly to use your blood as a weapon in bio warfare, if that happens to turn you on...

so you dont spread it onto others could come back on your family besides they do have a cure that will take like 98% of it away you can live a full and happy life in france check it out how dense are you no offense.

You take it so you are not instrumental in murdering some one else who does not have it

Taking aids test is to confirm that you are not having so that you will have a peaceful mind. Secondly if aids is confirmed then also it will be helpful to see that it is not spread to others. Regarding cure one need not be disheartned. Aids by itself cannot kill anybody it is only the other diseases that attack the body when it becomes weak. Therefore to live longer with Aids the best thing would be to stop taking heavy doses of medicines which reduce your immunity further and treat your diseases with alternative medicines by doing this lots & lots of people are surviving with aids.

because if you have it you are obligated to let other people you sleep with know so they don't get it.

I would have to say there are great moral implications and obligations to any current and potential sexual partners. If you loved them, would you want them to get sick too? I sure wouldn't want to live the "out of sight, out of mind" way of life when dealing with life and death.

speaking from experience its not pleasant taking one, the anticipation and fear you go thru can be terrible, that is why pre-testing counselling was very important, but I had only had risky sex with my last partner and I felt it only fair for myself and my family that I find out my HIV status, thankfully I was negative but lets not mock a person who asks this type of question becoz it is thru education and understanding that we can combat the ignorance and descrimination that so many people living with HIV/AIDS go thru... spread love not the virus all...!!!

they cure themselves for multi purpose:
1. They don't want to get worse, feel the pain and weekness, spend the remaining life in happiness.
2. Stop it from spreading.
