HIV anxiety question

A friend of mine told me this was best place to do so, on this forum. If some one shares a needle with a negative person and the other person is negative as well can they somehow get something else other than HIV? if neither of them has it becuase they tested Neg.

many thanks

"even if they haven't tested." How would they know there status as being negative if they've never tested?
Other than HIV there are other diseases that can be transmitted by sharing of injection needles. Look up any disease that can be transmitted bloodborne.

Hi there,

Now let me clarify....both are not HIV positive.  If so, they are not in any risk of HIV virus transmission.

There is no virus to transmit in the 1st place.
