I dont know for sure if you could get the other person to do this but my best advice is to not do it at all if you need to be completely sure. If you must do it though you could be sure to use a condom, and birth control if you are on it. But hey if you think you gotta be totally sure just come out and ask it means that you care about your body and you have respect for yourself and your partner but I guess that it would not hurt to ask.

What is the big attraction is catching her gonna change anything? No... If you really want to get her good sit her down and tell her that the doctor told you that you have HIV and that you must have gotten it helping a guy at work that was cut badly on a broken glass... and then swear to God that you never cheated on her. Then tell her that she needs to get tested asap. Watch her freak and make every mistake in the book.

A little less work searching is to go to the CDC.gov. This url will get to the Hiv/Aids info.

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.

It's awesome that you want to get involved!\n\nLook in your phone book and find a local AIDS service organization.  Call them up and tell them you want to volunteer.  It's the best thing anyone can do to help spread HIV awareness & prevention.\n\nMost HIV/AIDS agencies will have lots of volunteer opportunities for teens and adults.  They may have you work with younger people, educating them on how to stay safe.\n\nYou can also help stop the spread of HIV by getting good resources & facts from reliable sources & educating your friends & family.\n\nI've been working in the HIV education field for 21 years  & it's a really rewarding job!\n\nGood luck!

That's not one that I've heard of, but a follow up confirmatory test will tell if you have HIV or not.\n\nUsually an Elisa test is done first.  If that is positive, then blood from the same sample will be tested with a Western Blot test.  The Western Blot is specific to HIV - so if it's positive, then you are HIV positive.\n\nMany things can throw an Elisa test off - pregnancy, lupus, flu vaccine, hepatitis (past or present infection,) hepatitis vaccines, etc.

Hmmm... if they actually have sex (physical) with strangers met on the internet, I would say get tested for every sexually transmitted disease and get the heck outta Dodge cowboy!

You can take an HIV test anytime. It's safer to go every 6 months or everytime you have unprotected sex with a new partner.

Some clinics will do free STD testing, you should call you local county health office, they should be able to send you to the right place.\n\nAlso planned parenthood tends to do some free tests.\n\nIf you are just looking for HIV testing useally planned parenthood will do that, and many gay bars and establishments have times that testing is done there.

Registered Nurse here; I must agree with you, however this is not the laws on sexually transmitted disease that governor our state.  Now keep in mind, HIV/AIDS, is a death sentence, however the law is on the side of the individual with the disease.  Trust is a wonderful thing, but in this day and age, I believe casual sex is not a healthy choice.  For many people do lie about there sexually history, especially if it involves an STD.  The only thing to make sure is you and your potential partner get tested prior to taking that step.  Hopefully if your both willing to get tested, it's not a one night stand and your relationship has potential.  If you don't heed this advice, make sure condoms are used.  Will not prevent STD's, but decreases your chances of contacting one.  Thanks for the opportunity to address this question.

yup, dh1977 is right. You should get yourself tested for Hepatitis A, B and C plus go for an HIV screening. One way to get this done is actually to find out if the blood bank in your country carries out these screening tests for all donated blood products. That way, you can donate blood while having your health status checked :)\n\nAll the best and good luck! Do keep yourself healthy so that others may benefit from your organs optimally next time :)

It could be a combo test to detect antibodies to HIV1+2. The other option is a follow up confirmation test to rule out any kind of cross reaction in the first test. None HIV screening test is 100%.\n\nTo the blood stain gloves on the technicians : I can not believe that the gloves were blood stained before he stuck you. If so please inform his boss asap. and make a report. \nHopefully the blood was from you.
