Hi. I have lupus. I am doing drugs. Yesterday I shared a needle with a guy and he has some weird rash on his face. I think he may have AIDS. I was possible exposed to HIV. What to do?

Hi. You can`t share a needle just like that. Needle sharing causes 1/3 of all HIV infections. It causes 50% of hepatitis C infections. You better quit on drugs, it is not good for your condition. If you think you were exposed to HIV you should check it out. A simple blood test will show if your body has developed antibodies. I took a HIV test two days ago. The result was negative. I was very relieved. I had risky sex 6 months ago. I had to wait 6 months for testing. I couldn`t wait to test myself.

Well i have lupus and i also have HIV. I was told by my doc. that the HIV will put the lupus in remission. It makes sense. Lupus your immune system is over active and HIV your immune system is under active. I was diagnosed with Lupus when i was 14 and in 2002 (age 24) i was diagnosed with HIV (caught it via blood transfusion when i had heart sugery when i was 16). I've been healthy ever since i've been diagnosed and i'm not on any meds for the HIV (not enough virus in my system)

I wish you the best of luck.

they just recently found that an abzyme naturally produced in lupus patients attacks the "achillies heel"
a part of HIV that is responsible for bonding to helper t cells.

this makes hiv completely incapable of attacking helper t cells.
kinda cool, actually.
i think the abzymes that lupus patients produce actually attack the body. which is why those with both hiv and lupus end up living normal healthy lives.
the abzymes attack hiv and forget about the body, and therefore hiv cannot infect the body.
amazing.
they just made this abzyme discovery about 6 or 7 days ago.
vaccines to hiv may be available in roughly 5-11 years

ALSO.
you need to submit yourself for human testing.
you may contain, within your body, the cure to lupus AND hiv.
