If I test HIV negative,
does that mean that my partner is HIV negative also?
No. Your
HIV test result reveals only your HIV status. Your negative test
result does not tell you whether your partner has HIV.
HIV is not necessarily transmitted
every time there is an exposure. Therefore, your taking an HIV
test should not be seen as a method to find out if your partner
is infected. Testing should never take the place of protecting
yourself from HIV infection. If your behaviors are putting you
at risk for exposure to HIV, it is important to reduce your risks. |
