My husband and I have been having unprotected sex for 10 years. He tested negative does that mean I am negative. I have no other partners.
Answer
Hi
You can only know your own HIV status by having an HIV test.
Even though it sounds likely that you do not have HIV, you can not know this from your husband’s results.
If you are worried about this, then a negative test result will mean you can both continue to have sex without condoms without worrying about HIV, so long as you both do not have other partners.
