A member asked:
My husband and i both have hsv2 does that mean we can catch hiv from each other if we have open sores that touch we don't have hiv can we catch it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A couple cannot create HIV out of nothing. If neither husband nor wife have it, one or both people would have to catch it from something else or somebody else. It's like a nickel. You can't give it to someone if you don't have a nickel yourself, regardless of how many open sores there are.
