luckily, you can have sex, and even exchange bodily fluids with an ifected person, and not be infected yourself BUt dont take that for granted. it often takes up to or more than three months before it even shows up in TESTS so get yourself tested with a blood test (not jsut saliva0 3-4 months after you last risked infection.

Many people do not develop any symptoms when they first become infected with HIV. Some people, however, have a flu-like illness within a month or two after exposure to the virus. They may have fever, headache, malaise and enlarged lymph nodes. More persistent or severe symptoms may not surface for a decade or more after HIV first enters the body in adults. Some people may begin to have symptoms in as soon as a few months, whereas others may be symptom-free for more than 10 years. PLEASE CONTINUE TO GET TESTED REGULARLY!

How did you test yourself? Anyway, it can show positive 6 months to 1 year later, so until you have been clean for at least a year, you cannot know for sure. You should talk to your doctor right away and let him know that you were exposed because there are some meds you should be taking.

HIV can be undetectable for a few years. Why did you have sex with an infected person in the first place?

It depends on how soon you tested yourself, after you had sex with her. There is a "window period" for HIV tests. For most, it takes approx. 6 months for HIV to show in a blood test. You've had one test ... wait 6 months, then do another. If the latter test reads negative, then, more than likely ... you are clean. Hopefully, you've learned your lesson. Please, prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS ... protect yourself.

You may still have it. You may not. First you will want to be abstinate. Retest at 6 months, and 12 months. You still may have it, but by then, you should have some symptoms. Did you use condoms? Make sure your future partners know of the risk you are putting towards them.

You knew and did it any way? DON'T have sex with anyone else, my god, and people wonder why this is an epidemic all over the world! Get tested and stay away.
