Absolutely, because there are other ways to contract AIDS/HIV such as blood transfusions. A good example: Arthur Ashe, a world class tennis player, contracted it through a blood transfusion.

Yes. Sex is one way that HIV is transmitted, but there are others, such as drug needles. Oral sex rarely transmits STDs, but it is possible. If either of you have ever come in contact with the blood or other body fluids from a person that has HIV, its possible you could be a infected, thus able to spread it. The fact is, if youre going to be sexually active with anyone, you should be tested and you should make sure youre partner is tested too. You should also always use condoms. If nothing else it adds some piece of mind.

Oh yeah. There is no doubt about it. AIDS/HIV isn't just a sexually transmitted disease. It is a blood born pathegeon, so if you make contact with someone elses infected blood and you have an open wound, you are going to get infected too. Also, some people are born with it, so you should both get checked out before you do anything. There is also a std going around that isn't people don't realize they havee until they get tested because there aren't really any symptoms. Good luck with everything.

Yes......
1. there might be a possibility that the virgins are born with HIV, its not unusual for an infected person to stay fit for a duration of upto 25 years.
2. HIV also spread through Blood tranfusion.
If you get both of them tested and are sure that they are free from HIV then there is no chance of contracting HIV.

Yes, but the only way this could happen if the other person has had a blood transfusion or come in contact with some with Aids and they had some fluid transfer like open pores or cuts. But it would impossible to catch aids because of sex. But that is not the only way you can catch Aids.

Yes you can. Aids/Hiv can be transmitted through other means such as needle stick, through the mother if the mother gives birth to a child and the mother has AIDS, blood transfusion patients, people who are IV drug users, people who have been in contact with a lot of blood/ body fluid products ( EMT's,etc....), people who have had oral sex... etc...
Also, STD's can be transmitted if you have had oral sex with someone else. Also, If have Herpes in your mouth, you can transmit them to the other person's genitalia. Same as if you were exposed as above.
It is more unlikely if you are both virgins, but it is still possible. Get tested and be safe.

Well, a person can contract the HIV virus through means other than intercourse. HIV can be contracted through oral sex, blood transfusions, sharing of infected drug needles, etc. HIV is transmitted through blood, vagnial fluid and semen. The center for disease control has some good info.

Yes. Sex is not the only way people get HIV or other STD's. I person can get HIV without having sex. Needles, blood transfusion, blood cross-contamination etc.....

Yes... it is possible but highly unlikely.
Some STDs only need physical contact to be transmitted while other need actual intercourse and some need an actual ejaculation(men)/vaginal excretions.
Though if you're both virgins the likely hood of either of you having anything is next to nothing since the only way either of you could have one is if one of your mothers had it when you were born.
The Probability is there... but the odds are like 1 in few hundred million.

yes.
firstly - HIV/AIDS can be contracted through other routes - though pretty rare these days, it's still possible.
and secondly - if the person has not has penetration, that does not mean that they haven't been in close sexual contact with someone. Several STD's (including genital herpes and HPV) only require skin-to-skin contact with the area during an outbreak for it to be spread to another person.
it's always smarter to be safe and for you both to have been tested. Your local county health department will do it fairly cheaply and they are confidential.

The only way this is possible is if one or the other of you have ever had a blood transfusion (or something of the sort) that was contaminated with the the HIV virus, in the past.
