HIV/AIDS has no cure. PERIOD. You can think all you want, believe all the false information you want, but you won't be allowed to post that **** here.

So , I had open rash from HSV and Genital Wart, u think I contracted HIV through that. Her blood went into the Wart or HSV ?

either hsv-1 or hsv-2 can cause blisters in either area (mouth or genitals). the major difference is the viruses' 'sites of preference' differ: while hsv-1 prefers the nerve ganglion of the mouth to dwell in, hsv-2 PREFERS to attack the genital area. When the two strains affect their NON-preferred site (i.e. hsv-1 attacking the genitals, or hsv-2 attacking the mouth) it tends to be a one-time occurance most of the time (the virus just hides inside the body and doesn't usually resurface).

HIV causes the immune system of a person to progressively weaken so that in time the person becomes less resistant against diseases that most "healthy" hiv-negative people's bodies can fight off, basically.

hope that helps!

The difference is that hsv won't kill you and hiv will. HSV causes painful blasters on mouth or gentials depending if your friend has 1 or 2. Hiv causes AIDS. No cure for either, but hsv can be somewhat controlled with medication.

HSV 2 is gential herpes simplex virus
HIV is Human immunodeficiency virus

There is no comparsion in the two except that both are sexually transmitted, both are not cureable and both can be spread sexually.

HSV2 does not lead to HIV. Though if one has HSV2, there risk of contracting HIV is 2-5 times greater during an outbreak if exposed to the HIV .
