with diabetic nerve pain. if you have diabetes and burning, shooting pain in your feet or hands, don't suffer in silence! step on up and ask your doctor about diabetic nerve pain. tell 'em cedric sent you. hello, i'm eric shawn. time now for "sunday housecall". >> i'm arthel neville. ing joining us is dr. david samadi, chief of robotic surgery. >> and dr. marc siegel, professor of medicine, author of "the inner pulse: unlocking the secret code to sickness and health." great to see you. >> actor charlie sheen making a shocking health revelation this week. listen. >> i'm here to admit that i am in fact hiv positive. >> when were you diagnosed?

>> roughly four years ago. i thought i had a brain tumor. i thought it was over. it's a hard three letters to absorb, you know? it's a turning point in one's life. >> well, there you have it. sheen coming clean about his diagnosis, but his doctor reassuring the world that he is healthy. consider this. according to cdc, about 50,000 people get infected with hiv each year, around 1.2 million people in the united states are living with the virus. and nearly 13% of them don't even know they are infected. dr. samadi, i start with you. i want to ask first of all if you could tell us the myths about miv and also how is it possible that you would have it and not know? >> so you may have it, and you may have absolutely no symptoms. of course, it shows a lot of courage to show up and admit that you have hiv.

but as surgeons, every time you operate on someone, you almost assume this that they may have hiv or even worse than that, which is hepatitis c. all of this is being transmitted through blood or sexual activity. but the myths are that people say, well, i may not get it because he's being treated, his viral low is very low and the doctor says he's safe. but if he skips his medicine and some changes in the virus, it could come up and you can transmit it. it's never zero risk. that's one thing people need to know. the other thing is hiv, now it's a chronic disease, meaning that you have hiv and you have aids, which is the full-blown disease. ur can go on for many years ande hiv. a lot of this has to do with the fact that now we have new medications since 1996. this antiretroviral medications we have, you take a whole gamut of them every day. you have to stick to the regiment and follow this. but you can go on for many years. now, when we didn't have those,

what happens with the virus, it comes into your body, takes over your immune system, makes you susceptible to get diseases such as pneumonia, mum know sister tis knpneumonia, a type of skin cancer that can kill. he's not alone. there's about 30 million people out there that have this disease. i think it's important to really stick to the regiment. but always practice safe sex. >> that's a key. marc, we heard so much about this in the '80s when it first started and started to spread. now it almost comes to some people like a surprise that, a, you're living so long and it seems to be be so kind of an availability to be accepted. >> i'm so glad. >> because of these drugs. >> exactly right, eric. i'm so glad we're talking about this today. i trained on hiv in the '80s and '90s. more than half of my case load as an intern was aids. hiv is not aids. it's the virus that causes aitdz. how does it do that? hiv attacks your immune system,

knocks down the very cells you are using to protect you from infections. so if it succeeds, if hiv succeeds, you get all kinds of infections that can kill you. those three letters that all hiv patients out there love is the letters a-r-t, antiretro viral therapy. the drugs have cut down dramatically the people get sick and dying from this. did you know 70% of the people who take this so-called cocktail arthel, three drugs, 70% of the people on this cocktail have an undetectible amount of virus in their blood as a result. >> how long can you live? >> you can live a normal, active life. but you're more prone to infections. you obviously have to watch out about infecting other people. you have to wear condoms, announce you are hiv positive. what charlie sheen said on the "today" show is very important. this spreads from people who are either hiding it or don't know

they have it. then it can become a disaster. if you don't know you have it, you can't get the treatment. >> the bigger question is, how do you get it? everyone thinks about the sexual part. but you can get this also from contaminated needles if you're a drug abuser. this can also be in your semen that can live there. you can also get it not just from vaginal intercourse but from oral and anal. so you have to really protect yourself and wear condoms and that protection. >> quickly, you mentioned semen. what about saliva? p. >> that's question that comes up every time. there has to be an open lesion where the saliva and the blood, that sore have been in contact. then you can actually get it. >> it's not impossible to get it that way ff's a lower chance. >> needle sticks whi was training as an intern, 50 out of 100 times doctors or nurses got it. you can get it around medical equipment, other ways than sexual transmission. but most of the time it's sexual transmission. >> bottom line, it's still out there and people may not have

thought about it for a long time, but protect yourself. i think that is the message. >> eric, it's also very important, just the last point, for a lot of teenagers that go to college and start having sexual activity, please educate yourself about this. that's really important. and it's not just aids. it's all sexual transmitted disease, hpvs and others. >> wear a condom. >> absolutely. >> stds are way up, they say. >> they're on their way up, all of them. now to something else that's troubling, especially with young people. coming up, we'll take a look at the science behind concussions. you know about the controversy. the doctors are breaking down what they are, what it means if you get one, and they'll talk about a new device they say promises to help prevent this brain injury. i'm here at my house, on thanksgiving day and i have a massive heart attack right in my driveway. the doctor put me on a bayer aspirin regimen. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. go talk to your doctor. you're not indestructible anymore.

withof my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis... ordinary objects often seemed... intimidating. doing something simple... meant enduring a lot of pain. if ra is changing your view

of everyday things orencia may help. orencia works differently by targeting a source of ra early in the inflammation process. for many, orencia provides long-term relief of ra symptoms. it's helped new ra patients and those not helped enough by other treatments. do not take orencia with another biologic medicine for ra due to an increased risk of serious infection. serious side effects can occur including fatal infections. cases of lymphoma and lung cancer have been reported. tell your doctor if you're prone to or have any infection like an open sore, the flu, or a history of copd, a chronic lung disease. orencia may worsen your copd. if you're not getting the relief you need... ask your doctor about orencia. orencia. see your ra in a different way.

"sunday housecall." it's been a huge topic of discussion for a while now. the lasting effects of concussions such as those suffered on football field happens to be the theme of a new film by will smith called "concussion." football greats like harry carson also speaking out about this brain injury. >> unfortunately, you can't really make the game safer. you know, you can put all of the sophisticated helmets that you want on players, but, again, the helmet protects the skull. it does not protect the brain. it's up to the parents as to what they allow their kids to do. part of the reason why i'm so vocal is i want parents to understand what they're signing their kids up for. this is not about bashing football. it's not about bashing the nfl. >> meanwhile, also learning about a new type of pressurized neck collar they say can prevent mild concussions during sports.

dr. siegel, first off, i remember when i was a kid in wrestling i may have gotten a concussion. they said, shake it off, you may have gotten your bell rung. it's serious, widespread. what rtsymptoms? >> first of all, when i interviewed harry carson there, he says, sometimes you don't know if you have a concussion. you go rook right back in the game. meanwhile, later on, you could start souuffering from inabilit to think clearly, develop headaches, nausea, develop depression and you may not even know you had a concussion. so you can get hit several times. >> what do you look for? >> carson said that you can get one smack and end up not the same for the rest of your life, even in high school. >> what should you look for? >> i think you would first of all look for somebody getting hitting you. secondly, you look for a headache. then you look for not feeling like yourself. you're having problems thinking clearly. you're having problems solving problems that people give you. your judgment is off. you have nausea, vomiting. ur don't know where it's coming

from. now they're developing something called an eye in the sky where trainers and even neurologists arology the sidelines watching. we need independent observers to look out, to see when people get hit. not just in the nfl. not just in college football. but even in the high school. there should be a period of time in my opinion where after you've been smacked you have to stay out of the game. if you've been diagnosed as having a concussion, you should not be able to get back on the field for a certain period of time. >> but can they diagnose it right away, dr. samadi, on the spot? also, does it matter how hard or where you're hit? >> i think you may not be able to diagnose it immediately. that's one of the reasons if you have had a real trauma to your brain you have to stay off-duty and you need to give your brain a break. talking about no texting, no reading, and let it heal. that's really really important. location is very importantly. that depends on what symptoms you have. if they hit in the back of the head, for example, your vision

may change. if they hit in the front, that's where the personality may change. the side of the brain where the temporal lobes are, that's where the memory is. that's really important. what is concussion? concussion -- the same thing we have like a heart attack, this is a brain attack. you have a big impact. you have your brain that's going to hit something really quick. the skull may stop right there, but the brain is going to fluctuate back and forth. that's where you're going to tear some of the vessels, you may have brain injury and bleeding, et cetera. when that happens, extreme cases of this is loss of consciousness. but you may have ringing in the ears. you may have some change in personality. for parents, it's really important to pay attention to the signs and symptoms. if the kid is acting different, he's not laughing, getting depressed, et cetera, pay attention to that. how do you diagnose this? a lot of time it's a clinical judgment. but also getting an mri and finding out if there's anything

else going on. >> should you call 911 right away? we had a friend who slipped on the ice and got one. >> if you lose consciousness, clearly call 911 and get an ambulance there. if you just hit your head, to david's point about imaging studies, we're not there yet. they're kushtly looking into advanced imaging that will be able to tell you on the spot whether you've suffered a convict kugsz cussion or not. it may be subtle and not show up on an mri. if you're a high school football player out there, you get one concussion, you're more prone to get others. this is a sick lickal thing and it spirals out of control. then the next thing you know you're having a problem in school or you're having headaches years later. >> it's also important, if you're not behaving the way you should, go to the emergency room and get the cat scan. if there are abnormalities, in the brain, the sooner you find ute out, you can save that kid's life. >> can you get a cat scan without insurance? >> it's an emergency.

>> that's a very good point. >> a cat scan doesn't diagnose a concussi concussion. >> no. but you can have other things going on as a result of the impact. >> that's the key. >> that can save the kid's life. >> bottom line, don't fool around. if you think you have one, go to the emergency room. >> and repeated concussion is extremely fatal. because if you're not recovered from the fist one, you're back in, that's when kid kz die. keep them off. it's not a big deal it's not about eyeing goe. it resist saving your child. >> yes, it's an emergency. >> 100%. >> don't worry about whether you're insured ff's a brain injury. i don't want to scare people. very rarely people die from concussion. what isn't rare is they can suffer brain damage. that haes something that is the subject of big debate and in the movie you're talking about. >> i actually want to scare parents. this is the only time i want to scare parents because long-term effects of this is depression, dementia and memory loss. >> repeated concussion. >> i want you to be scared and

overreact in this case than just give them tylenol and say this is another concussion. >> very good advice, docs. we are going to move on. this is a new kind of beauty and weight loss treatment called laser lipo. it promises to be less invasive with better results than traditional procedures. but is it safe or worth it? we'll ask the docs about that. the possibility of a flare swas almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira

helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible.

take three liters off of that, you can can have fluid change, blood pressure changes and some of the side effects are this fat embolism et cetera. >> i look from a point of view of a medical doctor, what happens to people who have lipo, is there any problems? there is over 300,000 cases done a year, increasing by 16% a

year. next week we'll talk about breast implants, between breast implants and lipo, that's number one and two on cosmetic procedures. as david mentioned you can get blood clots, infections, you can be unhappy with the result and say i'm having sagging skin from this. a lot of people, this is the key, they go to lipo thinking it is for weight loss f the. if there is one area that is bulging, the laser adds the advantage of a smaller incision. smaller incisions are better and liquefy the fat and get it out, you may have a better result cosmetically. >> are you suggesting you get it out -- sucked out of one area, doesn't mean you won't get fat somewhere else. >> exactly right. that's what people out there need to know. by liquefying the fat, it may be better technically for the surgery, you may have a better result in that one area where you're trying to tuck. >> i think the point you're bringing up is quite good. the surge condition suck certain

fat from one area and make it a little more asymmetric. >> i'm, like, okay, just go on a diet. >> don't need it. >> don't need it anyway. >> speaking of exercising and going on a diet, november is men's health month. coming up, the doctors give us tips for men and how to lead a healthier life. we'll be right back. whether your car is a new car an old car a big car a small car a car that looks kind of plain a car that looks kind of like a plane a red car a white car a blue car a red white and blue car a green car a city car

all right, the big question now, boxers or briefs. actually, a serious health question. all part of movember, men's health month. dr. siegel? >> first of all, i want to bring up something that i promise you i bring up every year, the shawn kimmerling testicular cancer foundation. internists, you better be examining men's testicles because people get it young, 20s and 30s. later on, they hit 40, we start doing psas. david and i believe incredibly important to diagnose prostate cancer early. >> shawn, young, georgetown graduate, had testicular cancer and tragically died and now a great foundation. >> 40s, psa, 50s you get your

colonoscopy. men have to get ekg, blood pressure taken, they can't just think i'm in charge of the family, macho, forget about it. you're vulnerable like women. women are more used to going to the doctor because they go to the gynecologist early. >> what about -- >> does it matter? >> i think, you know, boxers is probably better because it lowers the temperature. as far as fertility is concerned. but the data is not that strong. so whatever makes you comfortable. i think as far as movember is concerned, men's health, at every age men are not doing as well as women. we live five years less than them. we are more prone to cancer and heart disease. the cause of death is heart disease, cancer and accident. get tested, knowing your psa, get your colonoscopy. every month for movember, we volunteer our time for people diagnosed with prostate cancer, go to prostate cancer 911.com and it is a free service to help them out.

i know you tried to -- >> fertility, drink less alcohol, smoke less, have more exercise, less stress. >> boxers or briefs? >> boxers. >> thanks for watching. >> thank you. brand-new terror news coming out of brussels and paris. french police release this picture and they're asking for the world's help in identifying the man they say was the third attacker at the paris stadium bombings. his body was found at the scene. we're live in paris and brussels. >> plus, fiery debate over refugees on the sunday talk show circuit as lawmakers try to balance american safety with humanitarian concern. congressman from texas joins us live with his take. >> brand-new fox news poll, who's up who's down in the race for the white house. our political panel weighs in as well.
