hep b and hiv aids?

Question:

my husband got hep B from a one night stand, and included in the blood work was test for hiv aids which he tested negative. is there a possibility that this hiv will appear later on in life? we had sex a few weeks after that encounter, u think i should test myself too? i was positive for hepB antibodies (w/o any vaccination) but that was a long time ago. should i test for hepB as well? thanks.

Answers:
well, ur husband could be in the window period, thats the time when ur tests come out negative but u r still infected with the virus,the period id generally for about 3 months, so ask him to get another test done after 3 months and then 6 months if all are negative then he does not have HIV.
and u too get urself tested for hepB and HIV.
it'll be better to be on the safer side.
take care and good luck.

YES YES YES defianity get retested. If you know yoru partner has contracted any kind of STD, reguardless of how long ago you were last tested you need to go soon, that way if you have contracted this they can catch it early and get you on the treatment you need. best of luck
