Although HIV is one of the diseases that is often spread sexually, it can be spread by several other means, including tainted blood transfusions or blood products, shared intravenous needles, or other forms of blood transmission (if you have ever felt tempted to do that old "blood brother" ritual of merging your blood with another person's, don't). Consequently it is not classified as a venereal disease. People who have HIV do not necessarily have a venereal disease (syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, genital warts) but they very well might.

Yes. If the person had a "false negative" on their HIV test (getting a negative result even when the person actually does have HIV), then HIV can be transmitted.
