AIDS test / HIV test

lets say if a person involves himself into a sexuall activity with a "AIDS" pateint (not HIV). what test's should be performed?

i am not sure about the status of person,  HIV/AIDS/not infected.

I've done a regular blood test and a HIV test after 6 months which was negative.

or there is something else to do for AIDS test?

Thanks

If you had a negative test at six months and no other risks since you are home free by any standard.  You take a risk by having sex with someone confirmed to have AIDS although not sure that is what you were saying above.  In any event, be careful.

Less than 200 is an AIDS diagnoses or having a low CD4 and an OI.

Sorry Lizzie is right an AIDS diagnosed is when the cd4 count goes down to 200, the 300 is when hiv positive people is advised to start meds.

The test is the same for HIV or AIDS, AIDS can be called as the last stage of HIV, Hiv is the virus that causes AIDS, so the test is the same for both, a person is diagnosed with AIDS, after having and hiv positive test, and when their body has a CD4 count lower than 350.
