A person has to have HIV/AIDS in order to pass it to someone else. If neither partner has HIV/AIDS and they are completely faithful to one another there is NO way either one will contract HIV/AIDS.

You have to have it in order to spread it!

And no, you can NOT get HIV from sharing a bottled drink. HIV affects a persons blood, you can NOT get it from sharing things like drinks or food or from every day common physical contact like shaking a persons hand who has HIV or hugging someone who has HIV.

HIV is ONLY spread by:
1. Sex with someone who has the virus (vaginal or anal sex and less common oral sex). Although condoms HELP prevent the spread of HIV, they are not 100% effective in preventing ANY STD including HIV.

2. Sharing infected needles and/or syringes with a person who has HIV. This is more common among drug users.

3. Blood transfusion. This is less common today because they screen the blood more thoroughly then they did back in the 80s when HIV/AIDS first came out.

4. Mother to child transmission. If a mother has HIV she can pass it to her unborn child in the womb. The baby can be born with HIV if the mother has it.

Here's the best part about this question. Apparently neither can a positive partner transmitt 'HIV' to a negative partner.

"We followed 175 HIV-discordant couples over time, for a total of approximately 282 couple-years of follow-up...The longest duration of follow-up was 12 visits (6 years). We observed no seroconversions after entry into the study...At last follow-up, couples were much more likely to be abstinent or to use condoms constantly ...Nevertheless only 75% reported consistent condom use in the 6 months prior to their final follow-up visit".1

Heterosexual (and homosexual) 'transmission' is an assumption. This is not to say people shouldn't be cautious and judicious with whom they have sex, it's just that there's no proof for heterosexual transmission of 'HIV'.

HIV is spread between bodily secretions- like blood, tears, sweat, semen, discharge, pee- but the most common is blood. So be careful. Drinking out of the same bottle will most likely not spread it- and it definitely won't if both of you are uninfected. If you aren't infected how could you spread it? Hope all goes well.

I generally agree with the first respondant - BUT - HIV has a latency period. That is a period before it is detectable but still have enough virus under the right circumstances to pass disease.

Drinking from the same bottle...I have never heard of that as being a way to pass HIV.

Good luck.

Wow. Unbelievable.

Think about this-----if NEITHER person has HIV, then how would they give it to each other? ONE person has to have it for the other person to get it.

The chance of getting HIV from drinking out of the same bottle is SO minuscule......

I think you should learn about HIV/AIDs. People always fear what they know nothing about.

well u said that u no a great deal about HIV but occording to your question thats not the truth. if u knew about HIV u would no that u can't spread it through drinking a bottle. and someone has to be infected in order for them to give it to you.

let me answer ur lAST QUESTION FIRST. the virus HIV/AIDS cannot survive outside of the human body. it will die within seconds- therefore u cannot get it by sharing a bootle.
however, if you engage ur self in threesome, that is having sex with two other person and the female has it and the male insert u immediately after inserting her with the same condom u may get it. my suggestion 2 u is that u let ur partner do an Aids test, b sure 2 know the result and always protect urself while engaging in this activity.

No, you cannot get HIV if your partner doesn't have the virus. But, are you sure your partner is clean enough? However, you can get other STI's and STD's. For homosexual, anal/ oral sex can spread the infectious bacteria which reside in genital area. Herpes is also common. My advice is to have a protected sex or avoid it at any costs.
