A member asked:

Tested hiv antibody 6mth (3rd gen), 19mth (ab/ag), 20mth (ab/ag), infection through kiss with cut lips assuming blood present, afraid infect partner?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Are the test positive or negative? If you are not infected then you will not transmit the virus. If negative after 19 months of exposure then HIV was unlikely transmitted with that particular exposure
