I have problem my boyfriend is HIV positive but i am negative and sometimes we don’t use protection. After how many times should I check that i am not positive?
Answer
Please talk to your doctor about this.
If your boyfriend is not on treatment, then you risk catching HIV whenever you do not use protection.
If he is on treatment and has an undetectable viral load, this risk becomes much less likely.
How often you test will depend on whether or not your boyfriend is on treatment.
