HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. So a person that is HIV+ will most likely have AIDS someday. That is what HIV medications try to slow down, the progression of the virus into AIDS. The virus is passed thru semen, vaginal fluids, blood, plasma, etc. It is not passed thru saliva. ANd in you have sex and the condom breaks, of course theres a chance there. YOu can not get it from kissing unless you had a very deep cut in your mouth, and so did the person with the disease. Hope that helps!

hi, yeah thnx, it did....how do they test wether you r HIV positive or not?

and do you ave to b a certain age b4 u can get tested?

you should really read the sticky note at the top of the page, you will get all your answers there on HIV/AIDS 101

A blood test determines if you have HIV. They test for the HIV antibody, which your body would produce if you had HIV. And there are no age limits for testing, as long as you ask for it at your DR or clinic.
