by getting HIV.  AIDS is the symptom

Yes, it's still possible that you could test positive.  And, it's also still possible that she could test positive in a later test if you are positive.  Seroconversion for HIV, the process of enough antibodies accumulating in the blood to allow for a reliable positive test result, can take six months.  So, if you already had it, and gave it to her somewhere over the past six months, she wouldn't necessarily test positive yet.

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.

Tell him that you are ready to take your relationship to the next level, but want to be safe and responsible about it.  Tell him you think it's a good idea that you are BOTH tested for AIDS (unless you're a virgin).  That way it's not putting it all on him.

If there was very fresh, HIV infected blood on the knife, I would say the chances are high. But more than likely, if he wasn't bleeding and there was no blood on the knife from him, you'll be alright. Definitely, get tested after 3 months and then once again after 3 more months.

Must reveal HIV status before sex

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

You will never know until it's too late. Far too many people have AIDS and they don't find out until months and even years later. Just be careful if you are sexually active becuase just because someone looks clean or has been tested ( they could've had unprotected sex after they got tested!) it doesn't mean they are free from STDS.

I know that if its something life threatening like HIV, there has been litigation brought forth for "attempted murder" against a guy who had  HIV and knowingly spread it to others.\n\nBut for the run-of-the-mill type stuff, you're out of luck.  Go see a doc, get treated, and get on with your life.\n\nRegards,\nRyan

The person infected may only be a carrier and never get AIDS.  If you think you have HIV, go to your local clinic and get tested.  If you have HIV and believe it is in the stages of AIDS, again go to your local clinic/hospital and get tested.  Until then, don't have sex unless it is protected sex, cause you can pass the virus on to your partner.  If you don't tell them you are HIV infected and know you are, you can be charged with attempted murder, if it's unprotected sex, last time I heard.

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.

There is no cure at this time for HIV.  The person can lead a relatively normal life, with the proper treatment.  Who knows, there may be a cure someday as well.

I'll try to keep it simple, but comprehensive\n\nThe main symptom of HIV is that the body begins to kill off its own T-Cells, which help to keep the body disease-free. When the number of T-Cells reaches a certain critical low point, AIDS can develop.\n\nHIV is a virus, which means that it is small enough to enter other cells in the body. When it enters a cell, it messes around with the cell's DNA and turns it into a virus factory. The more viruses there are, more T-cells die. The medications that your friend is taking should kill off some of the virus, but HIV can adapt to drugs quickly and sometimes develop immunity to the medicines.\n\nIf your friend has a good T-Cell count, that means that he still has many of his T-Cells, enough to stay relatively healthy. Viral load simply is a measure of how much of the HIV virus is inside of his body. High viral load is bad. Low viral load is good.\n\nIf your friend is sexually active, he MUST USE A CONDOM AT ALL TIMES! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Also, he should avoid sexual contact when he is having an outbreak (this is when virus production kicks into overdrive. This can happen either spontaneously, or because it develops an immunity to the medicine he is taking). As long as he uses a condom, takes his medication, and doesn't have sex during his outbreaks, the chances of spreading HIV are marginal (but still POSSIBLE, as condoms are not 100% effective)\n\nI hope i helped you with this. Please respond here or e-mail me back with any other questions. E-mail: mrwasabi90@hotmail.com (Preferably e-mail)\n\nIf you want more information I suggest calling Dr. Drew on LoveLine. He is a board-certified physician and will gladly answer questions about sex, STDs, drug addiction, etc. 1-800-LOVE-191 (call between 10pm and 12 PM Pacific Standard Time)\n\nAll I can say to you and your friend is good luck.

For the most part people are usually pretty accepting about it. I told my boyfriend at the time (now fiance) that I have genital herpes and he was completely understanding about it. Of course he wanted to know if he could get it and how, and how it is treated, etc. So after some long talks he has come to accept it and the fact that someday  he might get it.\n\nI've never had a bad experience when telling someone I was dating that I have genital herpes. They usually just ask a lot of questions. It might be different though for a deadly STD like HIV/AIDS, since I don't have HIV/AIDS, I'm not sure how someone would react if their partner told them they have it.

One can never if the HIV was transmitted to the woman but it is a very exposure altogether.The chances of HIV transmission depend on the viral load in the HIV + preson's bodily fluids at the time of sex,so we cannot determine if transmission occoured.\nThe only way to determine this is to take a HIV test.\nIt is very important to note that both the HIV + man and HIV - woman should not have sex with anybody to stop further transmission of the virus to others.\nHIV tests are of 2 types,\nScreening tests: ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay - the most commonly followed procedure). Spot test or Rapid Test These may give false positive results and hence should be confirmed.\nConfirmatory Tests: Western Blot, the most commonly used procedure. There are other tests that are done to detect the virus or its protein or genetic material. These are however, expensive, complicated or may take long and hence, are used only for research and academic purposes.\nThe screening tests are again of 2 types,\nAntibody tests :Look for the antibodies in the blood.This test will provide correct results if taken 3-6 months after risky exposure.\nAntigen Tests:Proviral HIV DNA PCR Test:Looks for the DNA of the virus in the blood and can be taken after 72 hours of exposure but it is advisable to take this test 2 weeks after the risky exposure.\nAntiretrovirals should be taken only on the advice of medical professionals.\nWhat u need to do now are:\n1.Visit a Doctor.\n2.Take a HIV test as advised by the Doctor.\n3.Abstain from having sex with anybody.\n\nHoping that the woman is not HIV +...\nInfection due to HIV in adults occurs through:\n1. Unprotected sexual intercourse with an infected partner. Regular and consistent use of condoms during sexual intercourse means protected sex and minimizes the chances of getting HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.\n2. Transfusion of infected blood or blood products.\n3. Use of infected needles as in injecting drug use or in health care settings.\n4. From mother to child. \n\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.

You appear determined to take some revenge and most answers are telling you not to. I think somewhere in between is right. Phone the switchboard and leave a message - "tell him he needs to get an HIV test" in your best effeminate voice and then LEAVE IT ALONE. take the advice and move on
