Environmental surface means a light switch, door knob, faucet, toilet seat, or public telephone. Aids virus lifespan is extremely short on these surfaces, so it is extremely unlikely that someone could contract aids by touching any of these surfaces.

If you are diagnosed with HIV and you give it to your partner can they be diagnosed with HIV before you?

I am going to answer this question assuming it should be phrased "If you test positive for HIV and infect your partner, is it possible for them to develop AIDS before you do?" Yes. HIV responds differently to each person's physical environment. Just because the virus may be less active in you, doesn't mean your partner will experience the same outcome. It is important to seek medical advise when dating another HIV+ person. I suggest you seek out a local HIV service organization and approach a counselor their to answer more of your questions.
