Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Manoj has had multiple sexual partners and has contracted HIV indicates that his infection is highly contagious and can spread to others. The fact that he has lived with it for seven years with little to no symptoms indicates that he may be a carrier of the virus without showing any outward signs of illness. The fact that he tested HIV negative in a home test does not necessarily mean that he is not infected, as home tests are not always reliable and Manoj may have been in the window period during which the virus may not show up in a test. Therefore, it is important to take precautions and practice safe sex to prevent the spread of HIV.
