    A person can live normally for YEARS without showing any signs or symptoms of HIV/AIDS. Also, HIV can be masked as another illness or disease, and can have a broad range of symptoms, for example, the flu, pneumonia, etc. He needs to immediately go to the doctor where they can take a blood sample and do a rapid HIV test. Good luck, I hope he makes better choices next time to have protected sex.

    Most people who have HIV have no symptoms. You can not tell if someone has HIV just by looking at them. The only way to find out if you have HIV is to get an HIV test. Most people would test positive within 3 months after getting infected. In very rare cases, it may take up to 6 months for someone to test positive.

    No. in case you have not have been given HIV, the virus which could bring about AIDS, you could not supply HIV to a distinctive guy or woman. you could not get HIV from somebody who does not have HIV. you could in ordinary terms get HIV from somebody who has HIV. between the themes with HIV, although, is that maximum people who've HIV have not have been given any indications for years. the only thank you to confirm in case you have HIV is to get examined. (somebody who has HIV might try constructive interior 3 to 6 months when you have contaminated. maximum persons try constructive interior 3 months.) using fact there are no indications, many human beings do bypass the virus directly to others earlier sorting out that they themselves are contaminated.

    The symptoms will not suddenly appear,and many people infected with hiv it may take several....several years for the first onset of symptoms.

    This is your friends problem,and he will have to get himself tested.

    Your supposed friend will have to learn to practice safe sex,and until this time....he'll likely continue to take very high risks when it comes to his health/life.And,nothing you can really do/say will make any real difference in the way your supposed friend runs his life.

    There is no such thing as an hiv person....hiv infected person is best suited.

    Your friend needs educated about both safe sex practices,and about being tested for hiv/aids.

    And,until he is educated about practicing safer sex....he'll likely continue his high risk behaviors.

    Hope this helps.

    Take care.

    His number 1 mistake was having unprotected sex...especially with a stranger.

    There's no way to tell for sure whether he was HIV positive or not. The best thing he can do now is see a doctor and get himself tested for HIV.
