is impotence a side effect of hydrocodone?

Jake asked:


I’ve done some reading and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the tests don’t look for HIV, rather, they look for antibodies.

“Once HIV enters the body, the immune system starts to produce antibodies – (chemicals that are part of the immune system that recognize invaders like bacteria and viruses and mobilize the body’s attempt to fight infection). In the case of HIV, these antibodies cannot fight off the infection, but their presence is used to tell whether a person has HIV in his or her body. In other words, most HIV tests look for the HIV antibodies rather than looking for HIV itself.”

http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/testing/resources/qa/tests_work.htm

According to what they’re saying, if you have antibodies present in your body when you get tested, your test will come out positive.

Since the same antibodies are used to fight off other virus’ and bacteria, how can the tests give accurate results?
In response to Jay Jay: Here is an example:

I’ve done more research and found out that ELISA tests and Weston blot tests only test for non-specific virus’/bacteria. And on top of this, the methods used in the tests are controversial:

This has raised a huge red flag on the validity of the tests.
To Flowerman:

I thought we all have HIV antibodies? Doesn’t the test done in the last link confirms this?
Correction to my previous edit; the ELISA test only looks for non-specific proteins, which is why the presence of antibodies sets it off.

According to the test done in http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/hiv/rgelisa.htm, everyone will show up positive if their blood is not diluted a certain way. This suggests that everyone has HIV, but to certain degrees. This would also explain why someone who might test positive in the US but not in another country. There is no “global gold standard” dilution of the blood when doing this test. It could be 1:400 in the US, but 1:800 in Australia, which would make it twice as hard to be positive in Australia (this isn’t fact, just an example).

John S asked:


I read that certain oral conditions are either usually or primarily found in HIV-positive patients. Conditions like Oral Candidiasis, Oral Hairy Leukoplakia, Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), etc. If I do not have any of the oral conditions associated with HIV-positive patients, either usually or primarily associated with them, does that mean I do not have HIV? Or can I still have HIV? This question assumes I had sex with a stranger whose HIV-status I don’t know.
To be honest, I haven’t gotten tested in about 6 months and it’s been 6 months since I last had sex…So I guess I had sex a bit after my last test…Would the absence of any oral symptoms for 6 months mean I don’t have HIV?

Please read this link it says only 1 in 200,000 people who have sex with an HIV positive girl actually catch HIV. Is this true? I never heard this I thought you had a much higher chance then that catching it. I am HIV Negative (Thank God) but was worried for a while because of 1 eposode of unprotected sex. Which I will never do again.

The Dr. says that the HIV 1 & HIV 2 test is not accurate in some time. so the p24 test is good . give me some good openion about this

QueenC asked:


Okay, so I have NO libido. I used to be a complete hornball, then I wound up on anti-depressants for awhile. The zoloft didn’t hurt me at all until the last month or so, but then I switched to wellbutrin and it was gone. About the time I started taking the zoloft, I went off the pill because I was also taking an antibiotic for my face, and it seemed like a waste of money.

So now, I am left without any of the three medications, and no sex drive. At this point, I’m not going back on the pill because it’s expensive and I don’t have sex. I feel awful because my boyfriend thinks that I am not attracted to him anymore, which isn’t the case at all.

My doctor told me that if you are on birth control for extensive periods of time (ie: 7 years, like I was), your sex drive can go away, and won’t necessarily come back. Does anyone know more about the relation of birth control to my problem, and do you have any suggestions on getting it back.
