husband is hiv- is it possible i could be positive
hi i have been married for 7 years and during that time we have had both protected and unprotected sex. mainly unprotected though. my husband has just had his 3rd test which came out negative and i took two instant test which were also negative. i however am scared the test could have been wrong as i seem to have many hiv symptoms eg, fatigue, skin rash, brittle nails, and thinning hair on the back of my head, i am scare to go for a proper elisa test but i know i have to. what i want to know is can my husband be negative and i be positive?
Hi Shito!
Yes, it is possible for one partner to be positive and the other negative. Please do gather your courage and do a proper test.
Do note that the symptoms you mention could also be signs of other conditions, e.g. malnutrition or vitamin defficiencies. Make sure of your status and then start tackling the symptoms accordingly.
Good luck!
