Anonymous customer question
Hello doctor, I have a question about HIV. The question is if two people have no signs of HIV and they have sex, can they be HIV positive? Or only if one of the two has HIV, will the other also get HIV when having sex? Looking forward to consulting your doctor. Thank you.

Answer
HIV is the virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome in humans. This virus damages the immune system, making the human body unable to fight off pathogens and leading to death.
HIV virus is easily transmitted sexually. A person who carries the virus during sex will transmit HIV to their sexual partner. The HIV infection rate per unprotected sex is estimated to be 0.1 to 1%. This ratio increases with the frequency of relationships. Meanwhile, having sex with someone with HIV protected by a condom is 90-95% safe if practiced correctly.
Therefore, 2 normal people who are not infected with HIV cannot get HIV when having sex. Thank you for your interest and question on Vinmec.com website. Hope you get well soon. Best regards.
