i have my partner who is HIV positive. we are now married for 9 years. we went for tests several times and the results are showing that we are a discordant couple. My question is is there anyhing special in my blood that continually i dont get infected. Donating such blood to others will it help others? From John Diamond
Hello, Thank you for contacting ChatDoctorI understand your concern, I am Chat Doctor, Infectious Disease Specialist answering your query. It is not advised to you to donate blood. Donating such a blood makes other person infected with HIV. There are no substances found in the human blood that can prevent the HIV transmission. So it is not advised to donate blood to other people. It may be possible that you are on window period and may not be detectable in the tests carried out. Window period is the period where one cant detected on routine investigation test. I also advice you to wear condom to get prevented from the cross infection to one another. Because viruses spread from one person to other makes both person to produce new mutant strain of HIV which will not respond to any virus. You can ask for further queries here on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
