Probably not, but if you're having unprotected sex(no condom), then you need to get tested.  You can get this done free at a clinic or a GLAD chapter.

It depends on where you live.  \n\nIt's very difficult to prove that a particular person gave you HIV.  You would need some sort of evidence that you were HIV negative before meeting them, only put yourself at risk with them and did not put yourself at risk after.  There are tests available that look at the genetic properties of each person's virus - but they are extraordinarily expensive. If you share the same properties - then it's reasonable to think one of you gave the virus to the other.

Don't listed to Lita, you can't get HIV from touching someone!  If you used protection it is unlikely that you would get HIV.  I would get tested for everything just to be safe.  If it comes back negative, get tested again in 6 months because sometimes the virus takes time to show up.    Be careful and make sure that you use protection every time!

If you have sex with someone and they have HIV .. yes, it doesn't matter ... either one of the kinds you speak of, it can happen, with the exchange of body fluids. Use a condom, don't have unprotected sex please. It might save your life or the life of someone else.

I'd leave him and I might report him to the police. If he knew he had AIDS and had unprotected sex with you anyways without you knowing that he had AIDS then he can get in quite a bit of trouble. I'd definetly go to a doctor and in my relationsips after I would tell them about what happened and let them know that I had a real problem with people who aren't honest. Best of luck, I hope from the bottom of my heart that you are ok.

You are in charge of your health. You should want to know if you have HIV anyway.

HIV can only be passed from mother to child if the mother is HIV-positive. If the father is HIV-positive and the mother is not, a baby cannot get HIV from its father. If a woman is HIV-positive, transmission can occur at three points:\n\n• while the baby is in the uterus (intrauterine);\n\n• during labor and delivery (when the baby is being born); or\n\n• during breastfeeding (HIV is found in breast milk).

If you have sex without condoms and your partner has HIV then yes you can get it. If your bf won't use a condom them make him your EX-bf

Yes, there are legal ramifications for witholding medical information that could be detrimental to the health of others. But, you need to realize, you're just as guilty. \n\nWhat if he had HIV?  You need to be kissing the ground right now!  Women and men cannot blame people for not digging deep into their partners sexual history to find out if they've contracted diseases along the way.\n\nLet this be a lesson learned to you for the next relationship you're in.  So many times we see these commercials telling us to talk to our partners about STDs, but do we?  Of course not. We're too afraid they'll get mad at us or think we're nasty for bringing it up. And this is exactly what happens.\n\nSure, you can take your boyfriend (now ex) to court and sue but, in the end, you need to be more prudent in your sexual partners and more inqusitive about people's sexual history.

kathy is close, but you'd have to keep them in the cage for 6 months BEFORE getting the test.\n\nSo the "for real" answer is -- YOU CAN'T. You can know for sure that your partner DOES have HIV, but you can't know that he/she doesn't. That is why you ALWAYS use safer sex protections with every partner for every activity. \n\nHere is some information on condoms, birth control, infection, safer sex, alternatives to sex, how to talk to your partner about sexual issues ... even a video on how to CORRECTLY apply a condom.\nhttp://www.teenwire.com/\nhttp://www.plannedparenthood.org/

If the persons viral load is high then so are the chances of you getting  HIV. Now, If the persons viral load is low or undetectable there is less of a chance. I do NOT recommend taking the chance. It's a gamble also make sure this person is telling the truth Anyone can say there undetectable that don't mean it's true. If you want my advice,USE PROTECTION PLEASE

It is highly unlikely your boyfreind is infected. If he had no open sores and no blood got into his system then he cannot have HIV. Please stop worrying about it. You're doing yourself far more harm worrying like this. Kiss your young man for me and good luck.

Can I get HIV from kissing?\n\nOn the Cheek:\n\nHIV is not transmitted casually, so kissing on the cheek is very safe. Even if the other person has the virus, your unbroken skin is a good barrier. No one has become infected from such ordinary social contact as dry kisses, hugs, and handshakes.\n\nOpen-Mouth Kissing:\n\nOpen-mouth kissing is considered a very low-risk activity for the transmission of HIV. However, prolonged open-mouth kissing could damage the mouth or lips and allow HIV to pass from an infected person to a partner and then enter the body through cuts or sores in the mouth. Because of this possible risk, the CDC recommends against open-mouth kissing with an infected partner.\n\nOne case suggests that a woman became infected with HIV from her sex partner through exposure to contaminated blood during open-mouth kissing.\n\nFor more information refer to the July 11, 1997, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report “Transmission of HIV Possibly Associated with Exposure of Mucous Membrane to Contaminated Blood” located at ftp://ftp.cdc.gov/pub/Publications/mmwr/wk/mm4627.pdf.\n\nCan I get HIV from oral sex?\n\nYes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex.\n\nIf the person performing oral sex has HIV, blood from their mouth may enter the body of the person receiving oral sex through\n\n    * the lining of the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis);\n    * the lining of the vagina or cervix;\n    * the lining of the anus; or\n    * directly into the body through small cuts or open sores. \n\nIf the person receiving oral sex has HIV, their blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), or vaginal fluid may contain the virus. Cells lining the mouth of the person performing oral sex may allow HIV to enter their body.\n\nThe risk of HIV transmission increases\n\n    * if the person performing oral sex has cuts or sores around or in their mouth or throat;\n    * if the person receiving oral sex ejaculates in the mouth of the person performing oral sex; or\n    * if the person receiving oral sex has another sexually transmitted disease (STD). \n\nNot having (abstaining from) sex is the most effective way to avoid HIV.\n\nIf you choose to perform oral sex, and your partner is male,\n\n    * use a latex condom on the penis; or\n    * if you or your partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms can be used. \n\nStudies have shown that latex condoms are very effective, though not perfect, in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly and consistently. If either partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms for either the male or female can be used. For more information about latex condoms, see "Male Latex Condoms and Sexually Transmitted Diseases."\n\nIf you choose to have oral sex, and your partner is female,\n\n    * use a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the vagina. A latex barrier such as a dental dam reduces the risk of blood or vaginal fluids entering your mouth. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier. \n\nIf you choose to perform oral sex with either a male or female partner and this sex includes oral contact with your partners anus (analingus or rimming),\n\n    * use a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the anus. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier.\n\nIf you choose to share sex toys with your partner, such as dildos or vibrators,\n\n    * each partner should use a new condom on the sex toy; and\n    * be sure to clean sex toys between each use.\n\nIf you

HIV/AIDS is spread through body fluids (ie blood, semen, vaginal fluids) as well as from used infected needles.  If someone who is HIV positive is giving a facial massage, you cannot contract it simply by them touching you.  However, if they have a cut on their hand and you have an open sore on your body, it is possible to contract it that way.  But even in that case there still has to be enough active HIV components in the blood in order to affect you.  If this is a personal experience for you, sounds like you are worrying over nothing.  If your mind still isn't at ease, wait about two months and get tested!

he is either lieing that he has it or he didn't get tested. unless you seen it. you guy's need to go TOGETHER that way you will know. it is easier for a women to get STD's cause the go into us. but it can be possible for you to have it and not him. he can be a carrier of it. any person can be a carrier of a STD. so he can give it to you and anybody else. and may not know it. but if he is carrier it won't show up in test. a man or a women can be carrier's of STD's. so maybe that is why he tested negative. he could be  carrier. and if you know you didn't sleep with noone else. and you go with him to get tested and see the actually test result's then that mean's he is  carrier and he will just keep giving it to you.
