An HIV carrier is in a position to transmit AIDS,
Carrier is an adjective that qualifies someone who transports or moves something from one place to another. Its etymological origin is found in Latin, being the result of the sum of two elements:
- The verb portare , which can be translated as “carry” .
- The suffix -dor , which is synonymous with “agent” .
Carrier applied to humans
The notion is usually used as a noun to name the human being or animal that, in its body, harbors an infectious agent . The carrier does not have the disease in question developed, but can spread it.
An individual, therefore, can be a carrier during the incubation period of a disease or when it does not present clinical evidence in the subject's body. This means that the person can be a carrier for a certain time or chronically.
The concept of carrier can be understood with respect to HIV . Whoever is a carrier of this virus is in a position to transmit AIDS , even without having developed this disease. This means that the person who is carrying HIV is not sick with AIDS.
A bearer check does not detail the name of the collector.
A type of check
The bearer check , on the other hand, is one that anyone can cash by simply having this document or title. This means that the bearer check does not stipulate the name of the collector, so it can be given to a third person as a means of payment. For example: “The new client paid me with a bearer check, so tomorrow I will take it to the supplier and we will settle the debt.”
Within the field of music there is a song that precisely alludes to a “bearer check.” This is “Consumer Skin” by Ricardo Arjona , which goes like this: “…Consumer Skin, I don't join in, I am something more than a bearer check.”
