They both mean the same. If you do NOT have HIV, then you are said to be HIV negative. The HIV virus, which may lead to AIDS if untreated, is spread by sharing needles and by sexual intercourse. So to avoid HIV, you should never share injecting needles (get a new one, or make sure the old one is REALLYsterile), and you should always use a condom when having sex. HIV usually can't be spread by oral sex. The virus has to pass into your bloodstream. If you have terrible teeth and your gums are all bleeding then you shouldn't be sucking any strange penises. HIV CAN'T be spread through toothpicks, razors, toothbrushes, cutlery, plates, glasses etc. It can't be spread through kissing or masturbation.
HIV Positive means that you have the presense of the Human Immuniodefiency Virus in your body or HIV anti-bodies (depends on which test is preformed). HIV is the virus that attacks t-cells for replication and weaks the immune system which causes AIDS. HIV Negative means that the person is not showing any anti-bodies or presense of the HIV virus in their body.
HIV negative When an individual gets infected, the body’s response mechanism automatically produces antibodies to fight the virus. A negative HIV report normally means that the person is as healthy as before. However - varying from individual to individual - the body may take up to six weeks to produce antibodies for the virus. In such cases, there is a high possibility that the body has caught the infection, but has not yet produced antibodies. In some other cases, it is possible that the level of antibodies is too insignificant to get registered on a test. HIV positive Initially, HIV positive individuals may not show any symptoms. In fact, they may appear absolutely healthy from their external appearance. So much so, that most HIV positive patients may not know about their status until after being verified. However, once the presence of the HIV virus is affirmed, positive steps should be taken towards managing the critically life-threatening disease. Post diagnosis, it is recommended to meet a doctor to assess the progression of the virus.
HIV positive means you are infected with the HIV virus; HIV negative means you are not infected with the HIV virus.
Patients who are HIV positive have the HIV virus. Patients who are HIV negative do not have the HIV virus, or have been infected so recently that the test is not yet positive.
