HIV/AIDS is just like any other STD, you have to have sex with someone who has it to catch it. HIV/AIDS is like any other STD, the carriers either don't know they have it, or don't care that they have it when they have sex with you. SO when you're promiscuous, you have a better chance of catching something than if you're not.

If someone has it and you engage in unprotected sex with someone with HIV/AIDS you get it. Not by having sex with 10 people that let's say don't have it. But then you could still be at risk with STD's as well.

If the first person that you have sex with has aids, you can get it then and there. It is also possible to have sex with 100 un-infected people and if none of them had EVER had sex with someone with HIV, then it is impossible for you to get HIV from that person. That is why they recommend always wearing a condom. How can you look at someone and say that they never had sex with 1 infected person? If you just go bar hopping and take home anything that you find, your chance of finding a person who has also bar hopped and hopped with someone that is already infected, then you are likely to catch something quickly. If you start having sex with someone that has had 10 partners, and those 10 had sex with say 10 partners each, then there are 100 people that must have been clean in order to be sure that every one of them was clean. Take a average working girl that might have had sex 3 times a day and 200 days a year, that is 600 partners, and each partner is probably had 3-15 partners before meeting this hooker, so that is over 5,000 people who must have been clean for this working girl to still be clean. The chance for a working girl to stay clean is very rare. After 1,000 partners, she has a very high chance of having sex with someone how had sex with someone that was not clean. The math says it all. To insure you never have a STD, make sure that you marry someone without experience, and don't go exploring outside of that relationship. It is still possible to get a STD, but it will be something easy to treat, such as a yeast infection.

STD's are everywhere. I work in family medicine. And I commonly see very young people infected. Please be careful. Use protection. Gonorrhea and chlymidia are very common. A person can have HIV for years before they know they are infected. You get an STD from having sex with someone who is infected but don't assume that they aren't infected. They could be without even knowing it. The first time you need to go to the doctor and have a swab pushed into your penis to culture it, you'll decide to be smarter.

You can not get HIV (virus that can lead to AIDS) from someone who does not have it. However, since HIV does not have any symptoms until years after infection, you can not tell just by looking at someone that they are infected. Once someone is infected, they CAN transmit the virus, even if they do not have any symptoms, and even if they do not yet test positive. More than 98% of people would test positive within 3 months. In very rare cases, it could take up to 6 months for someone to test positive. Your risk of being infected increases the more sexual partners you have because there is more of a risk that at least one of them will be infected. Remember, your multiple partners could have multiple partners of their own, putting them at higher risk, therefore putting you at higher risk. Also: You could have multiple exposures and not get infected, or you could have unprotected sex with an infected person only ONCE and get infected.

You need to have unprotected sex with someone who is HIV+ in order to become infected. It only takes one time. It doesn't matter how many partners a person has if they are using protection.
7 :
LINDA R gave you a straight answer. Of course, someone has to be infected with HIV before they can infect you. It doesn't just come out of thin air. One encounter with an HIV+ partner is enough to infect you. But repeated exposure over 12 years and you can still be HIV-. I know now.
