If someone has sex with someone else who has HIV

[The Rainmaker]

/ AIDS, do they DEFINITLY contract the disease?

[Cathy with a K]

No they don't, but the chances are high.

[robodude1]

There is a very high chance of contracting the disease, but not 100 %.Better get checked within one month.Fred

You get AIDS for sure by exchanging bodily fluids... this includes sexual fluids. if you have sex with someone infected it's very possible you have got the disease. One should get checked out immediately, no joke. Before the infection gets outta hand. if the person who they slept with didn't use protection, you are LEGALLY able to sue them if you get the disease....

[jammie_2207]

No. But there is a high risk of catching it. There are measures you can take to lower the risks. But there is a chance that you won't catch it if your careful.

No, but you are playing a game of russian roullette. You can get aids through one contact. It heavily depends on what kind of sexual intercourse you are speaking of, and the health of the people participating, skin lessions ect. If you have indeed had unprotected sex with an aids carrier you need to see a health professional immediately and start a round of tests and examinations.

No. They are taking a chance of contracting the virus (especially if it is unprotected sex), but it's not a guarantee!It's the same with any kind of STD. If a person has sex with someone who has a STD, they are taking the chance of contracting it themselves.

[ukuleleninja e]

no there is actually a low transmission rate...but its high considering how serious it is

[amelia_0405]

yes u just spread the virus back and forth

[wellness_pcm]

Nothing in life is guaranteed but the chance is definitely there. Your risk level depends on the sexual activity you participated in. The order, from highest risk to lowest risk is: anal sex, vaginal sex, oral sex then mutual masturbation. A condom will reduce your chances of infection, when used properly. The only body fluids that transmit the HIV virus are Blood, Semen, Vaginal fluids & breadstmilk. These are the only fluids you need to worry about. The person who is "receiving those fluids" is more at risk than the "giver", however any contact with any of these fluids is a risk. Again, using a condom will lower your risk, when used properly; a water based lubricant can also reduce your risk of contracting the virus, although the lubricant is no where near as reliable as the condom because the fluids are still present. From the time you are infected with the HIV virus it takes at least 30 days in most cases (rare cases 3 months and even rarer cases 6 months) before it shows up on the OraSure test. If you are worried about a particular incident I would test after the 30 day mark (& after the 6 month mark for 100% accuracy), but remember, any unprotected sexual activity will affect these time periods. Many places offer FREE HIV testing, both annonymous & confidentially...If you need more info, let me know...
