Can Masturbating lead to HIV/AIDs?

A few of my friends masturbates,will they get HIV/AIDS?

Hi there,

Absolutely not. HIV enters the body through open cuts, sores, or breaks in the skin; through mucous membranes, such as those inside the anus or vagina; or through direct injection. There are several ways by which this can happen:

Sexual contact with an infected person.

Sharing needles, syringes, or other injection equipment with someone who is infected.

Mother-to-child transmission. Babies born to HIV-positive women can be infected with the virus before or during birth, or through breastfeeding after birth.

Transmission in healthcare settings. Healthcare professionals have been infected with HIV in the workplace, usually after being stuck with needles or sharp objects containing HIV-infected blood. As for HIV-positive healthcare providers infecting their patients, there have only been six documented cases, all involving the same HIV-positive dentist in the 1980s.

Transmission via donated blood or blood clotting factors. However, this is now very rare in countries where blood is screened for HIV antibodies, including in the United States.

Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, new or potentially unknown routes of transmission have been thoroughly investigated by state and local health departments, in collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). To date, no additional routes of transmission have been recorded, despite a national system designed to detect unusual cases.

Cheers.

No, it can't.

not unless your hands are really dirty

No. You can't transmit any disease to yourself. Masturbation is basically safe sex, but without the other person present.

hiv is a virus, masturbation can not give you a virus, however you can pick it up on your hands somewhere and give it to yourself, so wash your hands before and after masturbation always.

Definitely not

No,it takes two or more to get HIV.

you masturbate with your own hands, devices. you get AIDS/HIV from others. so since you are not doing sex with others than you, you can`t get it.

No, most certainly not. Only having sex with someone infected can cause it along with drug users sharing needles with infected users and on very rare occasions, blood transfusions.

If they are not touching/rubbing it with anything but self. No, they will not.

HIV is a sensitive virus which can only reside in the human body, particularly human body fluid. Therefore, you can only catch the virus from the body fluid of a HIV infected person, which is usually blood or semen through sexual intercourse. Unless your friends masturbate together and one of them is HIV-positive (Plus they do funny things like putting other people's semen in your own vagina or wound), I don't see any chance of contracting HIV.

OK, for the retard who said "It's a homosexual disease" By the way, anyone can be a homosexual, anyone can turn into a homosexual. Anal sex doesn't -make- AIDS. If it did then men and women that have Anal sex would obviously get it.

AIDS is a virus that you get through the bloodstream. ANY person can get it, Homosexuals and Straight people. They're both the same, homosexuals don't have any -added- body part or bone on them. Being gay is not a race of people. So, for all of you mentally impaired people. You're dumb. Oh, and two virgins that weren't born with it, if they had sex, they would not get AIDS. For all the people who aren't ignorant, just try and re-word the way you explain to the non-smart people. They don't know what some things mean, so you have to be as simplistic and as detailed as possible. AIDS isn't something that you can just -get like a pimple. AIDS can only obtained if the other person has it. So, if you're a virgin, and your mother didn't have AIDS. If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend that is a virgin, and didn't have AIDS. If you two had sex, you WOULD NOT GET AIDS. THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN GET AIDS. Although, if you touch someone's blood that has AIDS, if you touch a needle that has been used by someone with AIDS. Any bodily fluid that you touch or that gets into your bloodstream that is the owner of someone with AIDS. Then you will probably get it. ----------------------------------------...

My closing thing is, no, AIDS isn't -prodominatly- in the gay community. Our chance of getting it is just increased because
in anal sex, you can easily break a wall in your intestine and have the seamen go straight to the bloodstream, or some other type of fluid. BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT, who the **** would want to have sex with someone that has AIDS? That's retarded.

Not at all - AIDS and other sexual diseases are only transmitted through blood etc from an infected person!

hehe.. nope.. not a chance.. unless they are letting lose internaly to anoter person.

no thats the safest kind of sex as you can't give yourself an std

No but jesus can see you

only if there hand's been unfaithful.
