would 2 lines on a n hiv test mean positive.  she took the test at 2 different places and they came out negat?

It depends on the test.  Some do 2 lines for neg, and some do 1 line.\n\nShe should trust the counselor.

There is a blood test for HIV and a mouth swab for HIV.  For STD's I believe you may be able to do some through blood but most have to be done during a gynecological exam.  You can't be tested for HIV through a vaginal swab that I know of.  These tests can be performed during one visit to the doctor but are two separate tests.

It is pretty unlikely but possible (at least in theory). All other things being equal, my guess is that she would be at greater risk than you.  \n\nIs there some reason to think she is HIV positive?  If so, then I might get tested.  Otherwise...\n\nHIV is less prevalent in women than in men (in the USA).  Unless she is at higher risk (had intimate contact with HIV positive partners, blood transfusions pre-blood screening, iv drug user, etc.), the odds of her having HIV to begin with are small.\n\nThe virus lives a very short time outside of the body and requires a way inside the body -- mucus membrane, cut, etc.  So the HIV virus could -- in theory -- enter through a cut in your hand.\n\nStill, a conversation with your doctor wouldn't be a bad idea!

The stat isn't 50% but it's something closer to 25%. Either way - it's not good. \n\nYou should always assume that the people you have sex with are positive, unless they show you the test results from YESTERDAY saying they're negative - and they haven't had sex with a soul on earth since! :)\n\nIt would be great if more people were routinely tested, but there's so much of a stigma surrounding it, I'm afraid it's just not practical to expect it from people.

They are two separate STDs. Talk to your doctor about this. Having genital warts is not a sign of HIV.

Yes,ask your sex partners.  There's no harm in asking someone if they have had an HIV test.  That information can keep the both of you healthy.

im a medical assistant at a drug testing facility. we have to tell people that the test in inconclusive or "non-negative" because we cant tell you that its positive. more than likely it will be if they sent it to the lab though. some medications, however, do show up (pain med, etc.). if it were diluted (too much water) it would have showed negative on a quick screen. (those only show neg or positive). e-mail me if you want to.

Well I took a pregnancy test when I was 1 day late and the 2nd line was very light...just barely pink...I went into the Dr.'s the same day and took a test there and it was POSITIVE! I now have a beautiful 13 month little boy! I would suggest to you to go to the Dr. and find out for sure....but I believe that you are pregant. Congratulations if so.....

chances are slim...but still there is a risk. If she had any abrasions, cuts, or open sores in her mouth those open wounds are an open door for HIV to pass to your manhood. Get checked to make sure and to clear your head.

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.

Depends on the test ur going for.\nHIV status is diagonised by either of the two tests,\n1.Antibody tests\n2.Antigen Tests\n\nAntibody Tests: For most people this test can be done anytime after 3-6 months from the date of risky exposure like the one u just mentioned.This test looks for the antibodies in blood that are produced in case HIV is transmitted. Name of tests: ELISA test,Westernblot test.\n\nAntigen Test:These tests are more sensitive than the antibody tests and test is done to look for the DNA of the HIV in blood.This test will show a result(+ or -) 72 hrs after risky exposure but is usually advisable to get tested 2 weeks after exposure.Name of Test:\nPro Viral HIV DNA PCR test.\nPlease note:\nThe A, B, C of HIV prevention are:\nA= Abstinence\nB= Being faithful to one single partner and\nC= Consistent and correct use of condoms.\n\nStay Safe.

False positive are common among HIV test and your body chemistry may bring up another false positve. \n\nI doubt you have anything to worry about but your stress is real, I freak out when the cholestarol levels are slighty high this is HIV/AIDS of course paranoia is required.

some doctors like patients to re-test their blood for HIV and other STD's as although the test originally said you were negative, the virus may not have been in your system long enough to be detected.\n\nThe HIV virus can take up to 1 - 2 months to be detected by blood tests. Doctors will initally run a test when you believe you have been infected, and another 6 months later to ensure the original diagnosis was the correct one.\n\nAs with all diagnosis methods, the blood testing HIV procedures are not perfect! For your health and the saftey of those you are sexually active with, the second test is high recommended. Until then, i would high recommend having safe sex!

If someone ever at one point thought they had HIV, but had not been tested, then they need to get tested immediatly. If they have indeed tested positive for the virus, but have been cured of OTHER infections, they are STILL HIV positive. There is no known cure for HIV.\n\nIf you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact your local department of public health. Free testing is available, as well as risk reduction, and post-infection counseling

The only way to know is if she takes a test - either an antibody test or a blood test. There's no other way for you to make a diagnosis, just like you couldn't diagnose if she had cancer.\n\nOnce she does take this test, there are tons of sites with information about AIDS. But I suggest that you first get her to take the test.\n\nGood luck
