HIV status
SOP or set phrase? social status, marital status, though these are adjective+ status, is this just a simple compound? —  [Ric Laurent] — 22:01, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * it's like marital status or social statusGtroy 22:29, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd argue that both social status and marital status are SsOP. —  [Ric Laurent] — 22:48, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * That is rather unfair, I create something in line with existing entries and they those are suddenly not valid. Marital status is in another dictionary hereGtroy 09:10, 14 September 2011 (UTC)


 * "Suddenly" is subjective. Had I seen those entries before, I would have felt the same way about them that I do now. To me they appear to be sums of parts that don't necessarily warrant inclusion. —  [Ric Laurent] — 11:41, 14 September 2011 (UTC)


 * This is idiomatic because if you looked up status you would determine that HIV+status means someone's social prestige and their HIV, not whether they are poz or neg or don't know. This term is widely used in medicine as well as a noun, not two independent words. "What is your HIV status.Gtroy 21:36, 14 September 2011 (UTC)


 * That wasn't a very smart way to try to make your point, using ONE of the FIVE definitions on status. That would like me trying to argue that "fried egg" isn't a sum of parts by saying, "a fried egg is an egg broken as a result of excessive heat or an electrical surge".
 * I've added the word condition to the first one so that it may apply better to HIV status. "A person’s condition, position or standing relative to that of others." One's HIV status is their condition of having or not having HIV. Simple. —  [Ric Laurent] — 14:28, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
