could someone please help?
Of course you can contract HIV without contracting any other STD.
okay but Is it less likely because i have heard that other stds are easier to contract and also that most people that contract hiv also contract other stds especially when in contact with a sex worker ?
Do you think evryone that has HIV has other STDs?
No i know that is not the case .....but those who have had contact with a sex worker is it not more likely for them to ontract more transmittable diseases such as chlamidiya and gonohrea specially considering that these are more prevelant?
People that use condoms don't put themselves at risk.
The only way to know your status is through testing.
In my initial question i have admitted that the only conclusive method of finding out is a test and yes i think i understand that those that wear condoms are not at risk
3 months will provide you with a conclusive result but a 4 week DUO or 6 week antibody test will be a very good indication of your status.
Thank you for the information ....would you happen to know how likely hiv detection is on a 16 day duo test is? as this is my last result as i am waiting to be tested again....also not having any other stds is that a good indication?
I would say a 16 day DUO test is around 95% accurate and having no other STDs is an excellent sign.
I know that nothing is guaranteed until i am tested after 3 months but thank you very much for your re assurance
