Any tips to help stop my nail biting?

Question 1
Any tips to help stop my nail biting?...  I'm 17 and I've been biting my nails and picking at the cuticles/skin around my nails since as long as I can remember.

I've tried to stop but I seem to do it without noticing and compulsively. My hands always feel gross and I want to wash them a lot.

I've been told to 'get over it' but it's not working :(

HELP.
I don't like using nail polish because it chips off and then I have to chip the rest of it off because I'm ocd or something, it gets so annoying. :(

1)   We have the same problem in my family. Painting my nails helped me becaiuse I'd taste the nail polish. My mom has to get fake nails for her like the ones at the salon, I've heard that helps a lot of people. - Candy

2)   try using germ x a lot. it will taste bad if you bite your nails and burn if you pull your cuticles off. oh yeah and it will keep your hands clean (: - brooke

3)   Me too!
Its a BAD habbit and i have had some ingrown nails that hurt like shit. But what you can do is either go the Hot Sauce way, or they make products that you dip your fingers in to make them tast HORRIBLE. babies use them for thumb sucking and it works. Good luck:) - Rae M

5)   Get a job in a sewage treatment plant.

Or get some of that nasty tasting stuff from the drug store to put on your nails. - DaveW79

6)   i have the same problem. i usually paint my nails and that helps with the picking and biting you can try a nail strengthener or just putting something on your hands so when you put them in your mouth to bite them then they taste gross and you don't want to. all those seemed to help me a band aid around your nails can help too but it looks dumb and it can get a bit uncomfortable so i would suggest just using nail strengthener some nail polish and putting something on your hands to make them taste bad - Kali

Question 2
Did homosexuals really cause aids?...  I've heard a lot of people say this, but I don't know if it's actually true or not.

Answers
1)   No. Poachers caused AIDS. - Lisa A

2)   Anyone who practices unsafe sex can catch-pass along aids. When aids first make it's appearance, it was in the gay community...so hence it was labeled a gay disease. - Veritas

3)   No, but there is some responsibility for the spread of it sexually. In the 80s a lot of homosexuals didn't practice safe sex because their partner couldn't become pregnant but that doesn't stop the spread of hiv and other STDs. That's why you always glove up before loving! - Megan

4)   Nobody *causes* a disease. Those who do not have "safe" sex are partially responsible for spreading it though and particularly those with high numbers of partners.

Viruses exist... - Julie R

6)   No, not at all. HIV has been in humans since at least the 1950s (it's been found in blood samples dating back that far), and some scientists theorize that it may have been in humans for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Variations of HIV (Simian Immunodeficiency virus, or SIV) have been found in many different primates in Africa, including monkeys on the island of Bioko, which have been isolated from the African continent for at least 10,000 years. The latest evidence would suggest that SIV and HIV may have been being passed back and forth between monkeys and humans for a very, very long time.

The bigger question is why did HIV suddenly go from being a minor (and perhaps completely harmless) virus into a serious, life-threatening illness. Studies have suggested that this actually came about through the combination of population growth and the introduction of cheap syringes to Africa - which not only opened up isolated communities with blood-borne pathogens like HIV, but helped to then spread those pathogens around as people re-used needles in medical treatments.

So did homosexuals cause AIDS? No. But doctors might have. - Kim
