- Have an open and honest
conversation about your sexual histories, risks, and the last time you
were tested for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
- Knowing someone's test results
isn't enough. "Even if your partner tested negative for HIV last
week, it doesn't mean he or she isn't HIV positive
- Most HIV tests can only detect the
virus starting three to six months after infection—so you should ask about
your partner's sexual history for the past six months."
- What you need to find out. Of
course, you probably won't get too far down the list if you just roll out
the interrogation; but these are the questions you really do need answers
to, one way or another.
