but has been testing negative with the

transmit hiv?

Abvously not, if you don't have the
disease, there's no way you can give
something you don't have. Also you
contract hiv from blood, semen, vaginal
fluids, and breast milk, not by touching
and kissing.

Tamrader. Sometimes you can have hiv for
quite some time before testing postive.
So, if it hasn't been very long since you
were exposed, you should be very careful.
Well, you should use protection and be
careful anyway, but if you are not 100%
sure that you are not infected, then I
would be extra careful. Wait a couple of
months and get tested again.
