Answer

Thank you for your question.

The term ‘HIV positive’ means someone is infected with the virus, HIV. This means HIV has been found in that person’s blood. You can not tell if someone is HIV positive unless they have had a HIV test.

For more information on HIV transmission and testing please se the i-Base factsheet
