What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of HIV?
hi, i had unprotected sex 7 years ago and later found out the man had sex with a man before me. i have had two children since then and more blood tests than you can imagine also a blood transfusion and two c sections.. would i know by now if i had hiv?? i have also had a smear test done about a year ago. My second child is only 12 weeks old so it wasn't that long ago i had all the routine blood tests taken during pregnancy so would anything of shown up on them if i contracted hiv 7 years ago? i really want to put my mind at rest, but don't want to get tested?? please can someone give me some peace of mind?? thank you

Rest assured , you have no HIV . 7 years are a very long time .
HIV can't be judged looking at a person. One has to get tested for HIV to know whether he/she is infected or not and that too if the concerned person has a exposure to HIV .
