Why cant you tell if someone is HIV positive?

There are a few reasons why you can't tell if someone is HIV positive just by looking at them.

* HIV is not spread through casual contact. You cannot get HIV from shaking someone's hand, hugging them, or sharing a meal with them.

* HIV can take years to develop symptoms. In some cases, people with HIV may not experience any symptoms for years or even decades. This means that someone could be HIV positive and not even know it.

* HIV can be treated effectively. With proper treatment, people with HIV can live long, healthy lives. This means that someone could be HIV positive and taking medication that prevents them from transmitting the virus to others.

It's important to remember that HIV is not a death sentence. With early diagnosis and treatment, people with HIV can live long, healthy lives.
