A member asked:
After someone is exposed to hiv, assuming it will establish an infection, can they immediately spread to someone else or are they not infectious yet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At least 5 days: It probably takes 5-10 days after a new HIV infection before the virus can be passed to another partner.
