Question:

What does it mean to be a carrier of HIV? does that mean you have technically have HIV but dont?

can you be a carrier and not infect others or go without symptoms for an entire life time?


Answers:

This could refer to anyone that has HIV, symptoms showing or not, but what this most likely is implying is that you have the HIV virus but do not show obvious symptoms. This does NOT mean that you will not infect other people. Anyone with the virus, whether you show symptoms or not, is highly highly likely to pass it on. It's unlikely that someone will never show symptoms. You could develeop AIDS before you even realize you have HIV, which is why it's very important to get tested, and to be honest with your sexual partners.
