By practicing sex with condoms, its possible to have a healthy and complete romantic relationship with someone living with HIV. Taking a preventive medication such as PrEP or PEP can reduce the chances of exposure to HIV. If someone with HIV has an undetectable viral load, they cant transmit HIV to others.

Can one partner have HIV and the other not?

You can only get HIV from someone who is infected with HIV, and even then only if you are involved in risky activities that can spread the virus. But even people who have sex with only one person can get HIV. There is no risk of transmitting HIV between two people who are both uninfected.

Can I get HIV from my husband?

HIV spreads through body fluids like semen, vaginal fluids, and blood. But the virus isnt spread through saliva. So unless you or your partner have mouth sores or bleeding gums, theyre extremely unlikely to get HIV from kissing.
