Well...if you got the virus before...you are still not cured. YOU CAN encounter a more dangerous strain of the virus. Technically, you can get it twice, without ever losing it the first time...if that makes sense

∙ 13y agoYes, like many infections, reinfection with different strains of HIV has been reported in many studies. However, it is not know how frequently this happens, but it is thought to be a much lower risk that the original risk of catching HIV the first time.
The main health risk comes from reinfection with a virus that has drug resistance, or from risk of other sexually transmitted infections.
If neither partner has drug resistance, or both partners have the same virus, then reinfection between partners has not been linked to new health complications.
