If I test HIV negative, does that mean that my partner is also HIV negatve?
No. Your HIV test result reveals only your HIV status. Your negative test result does not tell you whether your partner has HIV. HIV is not necessarily transmitted every time there is an exposure. Therefore, taking an HIV test should not be seen as a method to find out if your partner is infected. If you belive that your partner is at risk for HIV, encourage them to get their own HIV test. Testing should never take the place of protecting yourself from HIV infection.
