HIV/AIDS

HIV/AIDS.......................????????????
I have been wondering thins for a long time. If you have two people who have both been tested negative for HIV and AIDS and they gave un-protected sex, can they get the disease? I always thought that if both parnters were negative there was 0% chance of contracting anything. You can't create it through un-protected sex right????? Some people tell me you can...

You are correct. The disease can not appear out of nowhere, you can only get it from someone who has it.
2 :
Those people are idiots. HIV and AIDS cannot just spontaneously happen. You can test negative to some ,like genital herpes, if you don't show any signs, but that doesn't mean your partner cannot contract it.
3 :
You are correct. If both people are negative and in a monogamous relationship, you cannot get HIV/AIDS from one another. In other words, you can't get it from someone who doesn't have it.
4 :
With HIV there is an incubation period from the time of infection to the time when the viral load increases to the point that it is detectable in the blood, In this way HIV can and HAS BEEN spread by people who have tested negative for the virus. In a monogamous relationship an initial test and a follow-up test after allowing enough time to pass for incubation can definitively rule out infection. Throw in another partner and all bets are off!
5 :
If both partners have 2 negative HIV tests 6 weeks apart then the risk is zero. If there are not 2 neg tests there is a very small posibility that one partner could have been infected but in the window period (the period between infection anf the test becoming pos max 6-8 weeks with current tests)
6 :
HIV (virus that can lead to AIDS) is not created just by 2 people having sex. You can not get HIV from someone who does not have HIV. In order for either person to get HIV, the other person must have HIV in the first place.
