If you have your blood tested for aids and its negative does this mean you don't have either aids or hiv?

HIV causes AIDS: There seems to be a lot of confusion about what HIV & aids are. Hiv is an infectious virus that can eventually cause the disease aids. Aids is a breakdown of the immune system and so makes people more likely to have infections and other complications. You were tested for HIV not aids; and if negative you don't have HIV & so cannot have aids.
