If someone having sexual relations with someone barely know and living without showing any of the symptoms till 10 years, then,can that person be consider as negative, as the person scared to get test, and still feeling healthy and no sign of the HIV symptoms, can we consider him as HIV negative, what is the possibility of that person status.

If the person is HIV positive he will present the symptoms or develop AIDS complex after 7-10 years usually, but HIV testing is a must to consider the person to be not infected.

Dear lybrate-user, That person is not only at risk of HIV, but also at risk of several STDs. Without HIV test, one can not say somebody is negative, as person with HIV may remain healthy for several years. Do HBsAg, VDRL and Urine routine tests. He should take HBV vaccine. Tell him to take private consult to understand everything properly.
