Hello, in what situations one needs to be tested on HIV?

Hello!
There are high-risk situations to get infected with HIV. They are unsafe sex (without a condom), especially with a stranger or a person whom you do not know well and injecting drug use (even once).
If you have experienced something like that before, you should get tested for HIV!

Tell me please, have you any information of no usual viral infections’ contamination, including HIV in Irkutsk? For example, at hairdresser, in pool etc. Should I be more vigilant?

Tell me, please, can I get AIDS or infect a girl, if I was done vasectomy? Thank you.

Hello, Andrew!
Regardless of whether you had done vasectomy or not, you can be infected, and if you already have HIV infection, you can infect your sexual partner, as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is contained in the seminal fluid, but not in spermatozoids.
 

Superbly illuminating data here, thnkas!
