Do you need to have HIV to transmit it?

Question

I've tried looking up stuff on this, but couldn't find anything. My question is, does every person have the ability to transmit the HIV virus? Let me detail this a bit, could I pass on HIV if I don't actually have the virus?

Another question to add is, would two people having sex be able to pass on HIV if neither of them have HIV?

This has confused me for a while because everything I've read more or less says HIV can be passed from one person to the next, but it's never been cleared up as to whether or not everyone can transmit it.

Be respectful in your answers, please.

I'm appreciating the answers so far, thanks alot.

I'd like to extend the question slightly.

I can see that HIV can not be transmitted without a person having it, but I would like to ask if the virus would be presented in the back side?

I have read that anal sex/anal fingering is unsafe due to the ability to get HIV/AIDS. I ask this question simply because I am just interested in the body and how it works.

I will add I don't have sex, and will not be doing so until I am married. But, theres nothing wrong with being interested in it; and things about it. Better to learn before hand than be devastated afterwards.

Answer 1

I respect your inqusitiveness :-)

The answer is no - only a person infected with HIV is capable of transmitting the virus.

It may be that there are HIV+ individuals who for one licky reason or another cannot pass on the virus (I don't have the medical knowledge to say either way on this point.)

However, I'm pretty certain that a person without the virus can't pass it on.

(If your computer is virus-free, and you send a virus-free email to a friend, you can't be the cause of a virus on their computer.....)

Answer 2

If you don't have the virus then you pretty much won't pass it on to anyone. You must have the virus for it to actually happen.

But there is one question, though. Lets say you had sex with someone that has the virus, but you didn't know, and had sex with some one else then you probably did pass it. And the word was "probably", cause there is a certain percentage of contracting the virus.

Always remember that if you think you did have sex with someone with the virus and you get test, you would usually have to wait about six months to know if you got the virus cause sometimes it doesn't automatically show in your system.

Hope this helped..

No. There has not ever been a transmission of the HIV virus by way of an insect. If this had been the case, then almost the complete global populace could were inflamed by means of now. Why HIV does not have an impact on all creatures the equal is a thriller. If this thriller would be solved might be a therapy can also be observed??? who is aware of...

Answer 4

Yes, you have to have it to give it to someone else, kind of like a crappy present; you can't give a crappy present unless you have that present to give.
HIV is transmitted by blood and semen and has to enter the other body in order to infect.... HIV blood on your arm doesn't mean you get it, Infected blood gets on you and you have a cut or wound you can be infected. HIV can not live outside the body, has to be in blood to survive.
Why can someone get it when nobody else around him or her have it? The government, population control. Look who has it, Gays, Junkies, Whores, Blacks (a large number higher than other races) everything that society deems wrong or not socially accepted has it. we dont want them, so we will get rid of them slowly the government says

Answer 5

It's a virus. Think of the cold virus. If you don't have it anywhere in you, then you can't get anyone else sick. HIV is the same way. But HIV can hide out in you awhile before you get sick, so lots of people have it and spread it before they know they have it. It's tricky that way.

Answer 6

One person has to have it to transmit it.

Answer 7

ofcourse not,you have to have something to pass it on
