    I can't cause I live in a bubble but if you collect all that snot off your face and inject it into your blood stream then yes, yes you can get the AIDS.

    Yes he turned his face right at mine. I told my parents what happened and they say you cant get aids by someone sneezing at you.My parents think im over reacting. I am about to explode.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 773 ✭✭✭Barracudaincork


    You should of sneezed back at them and that way they will contact your stupidity and ignorance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,644 ✭✭✭Asmodean

    Be more concerned with getting a test to make sure you're not missing a few brain cells TBH.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,892 ✭✭✭ChocolateSauce


    No, it is only transmitted via blood and sex fluids. You could have frenched that junkie for hours, but unless he had gingivitis you'd be fine (physically at least).

    Only if it's Bad AIDS.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 873 ✭✭✭InKonspikuou2


    I think it's too late for the doctor. Contact a solicitor regarding a will.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,020 ✭✭✭xabi


    How do you know he had AIDS?

    If you're about to explode, then don't worry about catching AIDS.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,221 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    No, but you can get hepititis...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    That's disgusting. I hope you told him off.

    Oh no. Its too late for you now. Don't even bother going to the doctor, its a waste of money. Go and enjoy what you have left of your life while you still can.

    Oh no, boardsies, could he have caught the Ghey too?:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,399 ✭✭✭Bonito


    Unless you licked it and swallowed after he was finished spraying his load all over your face you should be fine.......




























    BOOM :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,597 ✭✭✭WIZE


    Im HIV positive you can't catch AIDS that way


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,239 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    The lack of respect being shown to a person looking for medical advice on After Hours is somewhat disturbing, and quite frankly, upsetting.

    I can tell you what to expect in the upcoming days, weeks and months. Please be aware I am NOT a doctor, but I do posess extensive medical knowledge.

    There is a very high chance that it isn't going to end well for you. I have provided a help video for your loved ones to come to terms with their impending loss. The people are professionals in deals with the news of the death of a loved one.




    OP, YOU'LL BE FINE


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,631 ✭✭✭Sgt Hartman


    Not AIDS but there is a chance u could get Hepatitis B. I'd get myself checked if I were you, just to be on the safe side.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    So there I was in the post office today, queuing up to get a postal order for something I was buying off a guy in the buy and sell. I'd been out last night, so I was a little worse for wear, haven't shaved, and I hadn't had a shower yet either cos the post office is just down the road.

    Anyway, there was this young fella standing behind me, like *right* behind me. You know those people who are so close that they're almost climbing into your jocks? I felt a sneeze coming on, so I turned to the right and put my hands up, but it was a biggie and the eejit standing on my heels gets a little bit of ricochet on his cheek. Serves him right for not giving me some personal space.

    So what does he do? Freaks out. Start going on about AIDs and Swine Flu and ranting and raving before running out of the post office and jumping into a car where his Ma was waiting.

    I've never felt so humiliated in my whole life. Thankfully your incident wasn't too embarrassing OP.

    How do you know he:

    A. is a on welfare
    B. a junkie
    C. lowlife
    D. has teh AIDS
    E. If he had AIDS would want to share it with you?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 765 ✭✭✭Ticktactoe


    Relax, you can't.
    But it is a funny thread topic!

    He was wearing a big feckin badge with "Kiss me quick, I'm a lowlife welfare junkie with aids, and I like sharing" on it. Or, it could have been a sandwich board.

    Yeah, but what if he had the virus and sneezed blood, or particles of blood were in the sneeze?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 325 ✭✭hello932


    I dont know what to say right now. Im hoping its just me being very paranoid. The WHO http://www.who.int/features/qa/71/en/index.html does not mention sneezing as a method of hiv transmission. I think i should probably go to bed.

    I also doesn't mention a host of other ways you can contract the disease. You ingest infected blood, then you could contract the disease

    The good news is you won't get aids op. The bad news is that these people are like werewolves, and their snot is how they transform others. So you're most likely going to turn into something like the above description.

    Yep, explosiveness is one of the symptoms.
    Sorry man.

    just go home, and make yourself a nice bagel with some philadelphia, then kick back and listen to some bruce springsteen, and you'll be right as rain in no time. who wants to live forever anyway?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Sorry but your application for AIDs has been rejected. We can however offer you the flu or a drug addiction.
