It's not necessary that you can get AIDS only from another person. There is always a possibility to get infected at the hospital, in a beauty salon, making a tattoo etc.
As for me, I was tested once - before the surgery. Also I got tested for STDS not long ago, because I was suspicious about my health. They found nothing serious, just yeast infection. So I'm clean and don't need to worry Testing is good less

I turned down an HIV test during my pregnancies because pregnancy can cause a false positive and then DCFS can come in and get in your business, "demand" you stop breastfeeding, take your kid away and it's all bullshit. My doctor honored my desire to refuse "mandatory" testing during pregnancy. I agreed to the syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia etc, but not the HIV test. Most pregnant women who test positive for syph or the Clap (which are treatable and not nearly as dangerous as HIV) think or swear they are in monogamous relationships. HIV really has a different ball game. Syph and the Clap are MUCH more transmittable than HIV and thus more common in the general hetero population.

I think I was tested once while not pregnant a long time ago. It was negative, of course. I'm in a monogamous relationship, and have never had anal play or sex with anyone with him and he has never had anal play or sex with anyone but me.

Although "everyone is at risk" most people are not at high risk. I know it's like being a heretic to say this, but I know I'm not at high risk and I've seen too many false positives ruin people's lives. A false positive will follow you the rest of your life, as it is NOT one of the things which are "private" in your medical record (actually, little if any of your medical record is private in any way.) If one engages in high risk behavior (hetero PIV or oral sex really isn't "high risk" behavior in the USA, no matter what people say) then it's smart to get tested.

But, not during a pregnancy, or if one is involved in a known monogamous relationship, especially if it's long term. less
