What are the chances of being HIV positive
I recently found out my ex-boyfriend from 10yrs ago was HIV positive, I havent had any symptoms but we were in a relationship for almost 2yrs and did not use condoms. I did get tested ironically 2x during our relationship, both being negative. Im scared to go and get tested....
I went 21 years without symptoms, but I also knew I had HIV. You can never rely on symptoms. Go test.
sorry, I am new at this... and nervous. how common is it to go 10 yrs without any symptoms?
Well depending on when he became infected would determine your risk. If you don't test you could infect other people if you are positive and you would be cutting your life short. If you test you will get your results and if negative you can go about your life and make sure you have safe sex. if positive you can work with Dr's on what medications to take and how to live with HIV.
I am not an expert on HIV but many people live very productive lives with HIV. As an example look at Magic Johnson.
