It is as important to play as safe with a person who is already infected with HIV as it a person who is HIV negative. It is a myth to think that people already living with HIV cannot be reinfected or that it doesn't matter.

In fact:

  • A person with HIV can be reinfected.
  • For the receiving person, the new virus may be substantially more virulent than the virus he or she has. It may also have be resistant to drugs which the receiving person has not yet used. Drug resistance eliminates those drugs from the arsenal of possible drugs that would help keep the person healthy and alive.
