Is it true that sexual intercourse causes AIDS?
AIDS is a "sexually transmitted disease" (STD). That means it can be passed from person to person during sex if one of them has the disease. If neither of them has AIDS, sex won't cause it. Of course, a person can have AIDS without knowing it. It can take some time after infection before any symptoms show up. And even before symptoms show up, an infected person can pass the disease along. So if you are sexually active, it's a good idea to get yourself tested at a free clinic or doctor's office. It's an even better idea to always practice safe sex!

Can you have aids negative or positive?
Not exactly. "HIV positive" means that someone's test for HIV antibodies came back positive, i.e. that the antibodies are present and that the person has at least been exposed to, and is almost certainly infected with, the virus. AIDS, however, is a syndrome, or condition. There isn't a specific test for it, so the terms "positive" and "negative" have no real meaning. AIDS means that not only is the person infected, but the infection has progressed to the point that they are showing symptoms. You can be "HIV positive" (the test showed antibodies) or "HIV negative" (the test did not show antibodies), but not "AIDS positive" or "AIDS negative". Everyone with AIDS is (or should be, since HIV is the virus that causes AIDS) "HIV positive", but it's possible to be "HIV positive" for a considerable length of time before eventually developing AIDS.
