Hi,
I am wondering if it is allowed to ask some general questions related to HIV transmission in order to clear doubts. I have two quick questions, and I would appreciate if they could be answered. However, if general questions (without any personal risk) such as these are not allowed then please just ignore my post.
1. Is there a difference between sexual transmission of HIV and blood to blood HIV transmission? Is one more risky than the other? This recent article shows that there does exist some sort of difference. http://www.dnaindia.com/health/report_aids-virus-changes-in-semen-make-it-different-than-what-it-is-in-blood_1426292
2. I would like to know if one window period (3 months) applies to both, sexual and blood to blood transmission. I have read somewhere that the window period for testing isn't the same for both, but I am not too sure where I read that.
Thanks
