HIV and immune system - Bronchitis
Posted: 07-18-07 18:43pm

I could have possibly been exposed to HIV about a year ago. Currently my whole family is getting over Bronchitis. Except for me...I never got sick. I stayed home allday everyday for the past two weeks pretty much taking care of them. This has happened before with other illnesses...I always seem to escape it. Wouldnt this mean I have a fairly strong immune system. If I had HIV wouldnt I have atleast come down with the Bronchitis?

Maybe, but not necessarily. HIV often does not take its toll on the body right away. Many people even live with it for years without showing any signs or symptoms at all.

So if you might have been exposed in the past, no harm in getting a test just to be sure.
