Detailed explanation-1: -People usually look and feel totally healthy for a long time after they’re infected. It can take 10 years or more for HIV to show any symptoms-or much, much longer than that for people who take HIV medicines.
Detailed explanation-2: -A person who has anal, vaginal, or oral sex with a person that has detectable levels of HIV has a less than 2% chance of contracting it per sexual act. People can use preventive measures such as PREP, PEP, and ART to lower their chance of contracting HIV through sex. They can also use condoms or other barrier methods.
Detailed explanation-3: -The only way to know for sure if you have HIV is to get tested. You can’t rely on symptoms to tell whether you have HIV.
Detailed explanation-4: -It is possible to have sex with someone who is HIV positive and not become infected. HIV s a difficult virus to catch and the risk is probably less than 1 in 300 (if the person is not on treatment). If the HIV positive person has an undetectable viral load on treatment, this small risk becomes zero.
