Is it possible to get HIV from a person that doesnt have HIV?

Here is how I think it works:
When you have HIV you don't have symptoms. When HIV turns into AIDS, then you have symptoms.
You can have HIV and you can give the HIV to another person.
You and that person then, have a good chance of developing aids within the next few years.

Absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to get the HIV virus from a person who is not infected.
But the problem is to make SURE 100% that such person is NOT infected.
Even an HIV test is NOT a full proof guarantee, since it takes 3 month for the HIV antibodies to show on a test, and in the meantime that person may have contracted the HIV without knowing it.

No, but someone could test negative falsely for a certain period when the antibody for HIV has not been made in the body in sufficient quantities to be measured yet. So the person could have HIV, but no antibodies have been made yet, because the body has not yet detected the virus...so the test is negative, when the person could be positive. Or it could be false negative thru lab error.

If you are asking whether it is possible to contract an HIV infection from someone whose own infection is so very recent that they might still test negative for HIV, I'm afraid that the answer is yes.

a person can not contract HIV from a person who doesn't have it. a person can have HIV without knowing it though because it can take up to six months before it shows up in a blood test. hope this helps!

Uhh. No. If they don't have or carry HIV. Than you cant get it from them. In the future use a condom.

um, i am not really sure what you mean. If you are asking if someone can just be a carrier then, yes. they may have no symptoms but it would show on tests. therefore they "have" it. They could pass it on to others not even knowing they have it.

Um if they have been tested and they do not have it then no, but if they have it with no symptoms then yes. People can go a long time w/o symptoms sometimes even years.
Best bet - no sex until you are tested -- if you have to do it just wear a condom!
What's worse for you? No sex? Sex with less sensitivity? AIDS? you decide. but do us all a favor and be safe!
Good LUCK!
