Answer:
HIV is the virus that damages the immune system and can lead to AIDS. HIV is a sexually transmitted infection, and it can also be transmitted through sharing needles for drug use, or it can be transmitted from a woman to her child during delivery or breastfeeding. You do not have to have another sexually transmitted infection first before getting infected with HIV. However, having any other sexually transmitted infection makes your body more vulnerable to HIV infection.
All of that stated, you can not get HIV from someone who does not have HIV. You can not get any sexually transmitted infection from someone who does not have a sexually transmitted infection. The problem is that most people don’t have symptoms soon after infection, so you can not tell if someone has HIV or another sexually transmitted infection just by looking at them. The only way to find out if you have HIV or another sexually transmitted infection is to get tested.
Answer:
HIV/AIDS is an STI. It belongs to the viral family of STI's, along with Hepatitis, Herpes, and HPV.
