Agreed. Though he could actually be a carrier, you never know.

True. As far as I know, there isn't really any sort of test one can take to know if they are a carrier who will never develop symptoms. My guess is eventually science will develop some sort of vaccine for HIV.

I hope so. You never know it might be needed. A recent study I saw said HIV/AIDS is down in America.

Yeah. Unfortunately, it is still putting a serious whammy on the people of Africa though.

There are approximately 40,000 people each year that are infected with HIV in the US, which is a number that has remained unchanged for the last decade.

I was just going on what I was told. We can not always go by what we are told.
Here is a recent MSNBC article about AIDS/HIV. It talks about a spike in male that have sex with other men. It seems it is on the rise

Rico,
The standard HIV/AIDS test would confirm if a person was a "silent carrier" of the virus. Currently, there are over 18 million people infected with HIV and another 12-14 million people who are "silent carriers".
Silent carriers are people that have the HIV virus but remain asymptomatic and unaware that they have the HIV virus.
