Could my friend have aids?


I know this is a weird question, but I have this friend. SHe is 25 and she has unprotected sex fairly often with random guys. I've told her time and time again to use protection, but I know she doesnt. About last year, she started getting a sting of STI's (sexually transmitted infections). She went to get STD tests and everything. They treated her STI but it comes back a lot. THe past year she has also lost weight (about 25 lbs) without trying. She also had a horrendous staph infection on her face that so far has come back twice. I didnt think it could be HIV/AIDS until she told me she never called to get the results of her HIV test. She thought that they would call her if there was an issue. I havent told her yet that I dont think this is true (am i right? dont YOU have to call for that info?) I'm afraid for her, am I right to be concerned? SHould I tell her?
Another concern is that she is a waitress and she has that infection on her face...the management has lether continue working.

She should get tested immediately. The lab that does the testing will only release results to her and her Dr., no one else. That is illegal under patient confidentiality laws.

A staph infestion is EXTREMELY SERIOUS and needs to be treated completely and to actual healing. Staph can become blood-bound illness and be fatal. AIDS or not, she needs to get that dealt with.

It is wonderful that you are concerned with her. She seems to need a bit of common sense here, though and that, you cannot give anyone who does not already have it.

She needs medical attention for that infection and an AIDS test for sure. Good luck tying to get her to do so. As someone who works directly with the public, she has a certain level of responsibility to keep herself reasonably healthy.

yes it is possible she could have aids but you have every right to be concerned. Tell her how u feel tell her your worried about her. Normally they would call quite strange!?
Im sure she will be fine but their could be a chance look into it...
Hope everything works out ok
Good luck
