You need an HIV test to be sure. Also, you will have to wait three months before you get a test. You can get one now, but it will not come out positive, even if you have been infected. With that being said, you probably have not been infected with HIV. There is a small chance of being infected with HIV, but it's not probable at all. IN three months if you are scared. You can go get tested at a Planned parent hood. Their costs are low and the results are private.

The only way to find out if you have HIV is to get an HIV test. Risk of transmission of HIV through oral sex is very low, but can occur. Check the website hivtest.org to find free testing sites in your area. Just enter your ZIP code. Testing is confidential. Your results, and the fact that you are being tested, can not be released to anyone without your written permission. It does take time for people who have HIV to test positive. The best thing to do is to get tested 3 months after possible exposure, then retest 6 months after your possible exposure. (More than 98% of people who have HIV would test positive within 3 months.) Consider getting tested for other STDs as well. All STDs can be transmitted by oral sex, and since symptoms may not appear for a long time, you can't tell if someone is infected just by looking at them.

Your immune system. The same way some people fight off colds and other illness. There are some people that just fight off the virus better than others.

STD, Skin, Laser Clinic Dubai http://www.stdskin.com/ No STD, including HIV, is transmitted 100 % of the time. Also, some people are exhibit immunological difference making them immune to HIV, even after repeated exposure to disease. But do not tempt the fate. At this point time we do not know who are immune. So take precaution, always.

The virus is in the fluids of the body. Blood, semen etc. It is in the fluid not the sperm. As for being able to fight a virus . it's possible but as an immune virus this is not possible. thats why it's so dangerous your body can't fight it off. Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the disease HIV is the virsus (human immune virus). It is possible for a mother to pass HIV to ther baby but only during birth when blood can come into contact with that of the baby. It is not clearly understood that mother and child do not share blood systems all food and waste it passed through the Placenta. Just because you didn't get it this time doesn't mean it wont happen if you sleep with th e person again.

Yep. I saw a video on it once.

Yes. I believe she should have a C-Section to minimize risks. Also, there are drugs to take that also make transmission less likely.
3 :
yes. only certain ppl have the gene to contract aids or hiv. hiv/aids is just another disease some ppl get it and others don't.
4 :
Yes it is- but I think the doc will have to do the C Section.
