This must be a very difficult time for you.<\/p>\n<p>We tend not to use the term &#8216;carrier&#8217; when talking about HIV positive people as it has some stigmatising associations. If your ex-boyfriend is HIV negative then you would not have got HIV from him. It is possible you could have had HIV for a long time and not known about it. For more information about how HIV is transmitted please follow this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.avert.org\/can-you-get-hiv-aids.htm\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible that some people are frequently exposed to HV but remain negative.
