Let me explain this in a way that’s easy to understand.
People often ask, “Why do some people not get HIV even after being exposed several times?”
The truth is, *HIV transmission isn’t automatic*. Several things can affect whether the virus is passed or not. For example, if someone with HIV is on treatment and their viral load is so low it can’t be detected, *they can’t spread the virus*. This is called *U=U* (Undetectable = Untransmittable).
Also, there are *rare individuals* called *elite controllers* whose bodies naturally keep HIV levels very low without medication. This lowers the risk of spreading it , but it doesn’t make it zero. HIV doesn’t get passed every single time during s*x. The risk depends on things like the kind of s*x, if there are wounds or infections, etc.
Another thing is, *our immune systems are different*. Some people’s bodies may fight off the virus before it fully takes hold. Also, a few people have *genetic mutations* (like CCR5-delta32) that make it harder for HIV to enter their cells. And yes, *not all HIV types spread the same way*, some are weaker than others.
But please understand this: *None of these things guarantee safety*. The best way to protect yourself is by using *condoms, getting tested regularly, and taking prevention and treatment seriously*. Don’t depend on luck with your health.
So yes, it’s possible to have s*x with someone who has HIV and not get infected, but that doesn’t mean it’s safe to take risks.
I hope this helps you understand better.
