Question

My gf learned she is positive but my results are negative…

Hi my gf got a miscarriage in june last year and only to find that she was HIV positive. Then I went test there after only to find that I am negative. Again in August I went to test and my results were negative again is there any chance that I’m not contacted HIV?

Answer

Hi

I am sorry to hear about the miscarriage and hope your girlfriend is okay.

How is she managing? Do you know her CD4 count and whether she is able to access treatment?

Your own experience is very common. HIV is a difficult virus to catch and you have been lucky. Modern treatment means any risk is reduced to zero after your girlfriend has an undetectable viral load on treatment.
