No. If neither one of you has HIV, you can't give it to each other.
You can get HIV whether your partner is circumcised or not.
That means, you could get HIV by having sex with him/her.
BY transmitting HIV which destroyed his immune system.
Conclusion: Your partner has hiv and you don't.......yet.
No, it's not difficult. If he has unprotected sex with someone who is HIV positive, then there is a chance he can contract HIV. Read this link" *http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_is_HIV_transmitted
If the mother has proper medical care, it is possible that the baby can be born without HIV. The mother could not breast feed.
There are four possible scenarios. # If it is a recent transmission (within the last three months) there is a remote possibility that your partner actually is HIV-positive, but hasn't yet developed the antibodies that would be detected in a routine HIV test. # You also have to consider the possibility that your partner isn't being honest with you. How do you know that they tested and that the result was negative? Were you actually there? # You were born with HIV (although, to be honest) it is highly unlikely that you would have gotten this far without finding out and experiencing any symptoms). # Assuming that your partner really isn't HIV-positive, then the answer could be in one of the following possibilities: * some sort of occupational exposure to HIV (a needlestick injury perhaps) * through piercing / tattooing with unsterilised equipment * shared needles (drug use / inoculations) Without knowing more, my immediate suspicion would be directed towards the honesty of your partner.
Yes.
Thanks to modern medicine, yes. Women who are HIV+ have a pretty good chance of having a baby without HIV if they are treated with antiviral drugs during pregnancy and give birth by way of C-section. The rate of the HIV virus NOT being passed on to their newborn is like 91% if the above mentioned treatment is taken during gestation and during the baby's birth.
Without any treatment, there is a 1 in 4 chance that you will transfer HIV to your newborn.
Once someone is infected with HIV, they are capable of transmitting the virus. Even when being treated for infection and viral levels have reached an "undetectable" level, the HIV+ person is still able to transmit the virus.There are various studies and opinions about the reduction of risk when exposed to those who are HIV+ with undetectable viral loads. However, there is still some degree of risk involved.Cut and dry answer is YES - Use condomsyesIf they have HIV, you can catch it, whether its detectable or not.
