Q. how long does it you to die from AIDS
Asked by OHH MIRA - Fri Jun 13 18:26:15 2008 - - 4 Answers - 2 Comments

A. These days, with treatments, many people who are HIV+ can live healthier longer than they could in the past. Medications won't kill the virus, but can increase the amount of time between diagnosis of HIV and diagnosis of AIDS. The amount of time a person lives with HIV depends on many factors, including the health of the person before infection, the person's response to the virus, and the person's response to treatment. A person whose illness has progressed to AIDS is more likely to die more quickly, because at that point, other infections such as colds, flu, and pneumonia can be deadly. However, again, it is impossible to say just how long the person will live.

where can I get assistance getting hearing aids?
Q. I'm currently attending school full-time and working a full-time job at Walt Disney World for 7 dollars an hour. Between the tuition for school, and my other bills, and rent, I am having trouble saving enough money for new hearing aids I m starting to need. Since hearing aids are not covered by insurance and the prices of them are sky-high, I'm afraid I will not have enough money saved to buy new hearing aids by the time I need them. I hate to ask for charity but I'm starting to be backed into a corner. Any suggestion about what I could do?

Whether the AIDS which is very fast spreading disease can be cured and diagnosed at the initial level?
Q. AIDS is almost incurable disease. Most peoples dies due to diagnosis of the patient at the secondary stage. For prevention of it, use of genuine and reliable condoms and other safety measures has to be taken. If there is proper diagnosis of the probable patient at the initial stage, then he will be cured at the stage before going into the dangerous or secondary level. Also using of reusable syringe through blood donation or curing the disease of the patient, there are more chances of causing AIDS to the patient.

A. Basically when a person contracted the HIV-AIDS or Retro-Virus, there is no more chance of cure (at the present time). Common misconception of many people that there is a cure for it when diagnose at early stage. The only available drugs against Retrovirus at this time is only pallative. It means, the medication is only work to retard or slow down the replication and spread of the virus. But there is no way to eliminate it completely.

What are the chances of having AIDS if you never had sex or used needles?
Q. How else can someone get AIDS? Can you get it from scraping your foot or hand on an infected nail? Can you get it from sharing the same bath water with someone who has it? If AIDS can't live in the air then how is it people can get it through sharing needles?
Asked by Cherry - Fri Nov 16 12:03:10 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. HIV cant live outside the human body. Its a virus and can only replicate within human cells. It can survive in blood outside the human body, but only for a short time. People get it from sharing needles because small amounts of blood stay on or in the needles. The only way you can catch it is by direct contact with infected body fluids for example through unprotected sex, blood transfusions (blood is screened thoroughly these days so this is very very unlikely) and through sharing needles. You cannot get it from kissing, toilet seats or sharing bathwater!

A. Only if both his biological parents and both your biological parents have been 100% tested to not be and the same with you and him then there is a 99% probability you wont get aids however he may have picked up an STD from anything from Injecting himself with drugs to licking infected blood. Before you do anything be aware that sexual activity is not the only way to pick up STD's. My advice is only from my knowledge so please do not rely solely on it i recommend contacting other sources before engaging as lacking in knowledge of this subject can be fatal.

How to improve speech intelligibility in hearing aids?
Q. Since World War II, people have known that speech intelligibility can be improved by increasing the consonant amplitude compared to that of the vowel. Why isn't this capability incorporated into hearing aids, turning them into understanding aids?
Asked by al mond - Sat Dec 6 22:14:04 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Viewing speech from the perspective of consonant and vowel is not very useful as the majority of the languages in the world are not based on this. The more accurate modeling of human voice is LPC (Linear Predictive Coding). From wikipedia ( "LPC starts with the assumption that a speech signal is produced by a buzzer at the end of a tube (voiced sounds), with occasional added hissing and popping sounds (sibilants and plosive sounds). Although apparently crude, this model is actually a close approximation to the reality of speech production. The glottis (the space between the vocal folds) produces the buzz, which is characterized by its intensity (loudness) and frequency (pitch). The vocal tract (the throat and mouth) forms the tube,… [cont.]

Red tape, I believe. Hope this Helps.
