HIV does not discriminate. It is not who you are, but what you do that determines whether you can become infected with HIV. The factors that are considered to increase your risk for becoming infected with HIV include having ever done any of the following:

• had unprotected sex with someone who is infected with HIV
• shared injection drug needles and syringes
• had a sexually transmitted disease, like chlamydia or gonorrhea
• had unprotected sex with anyone who falls into an above category

Trusting or having feelings for your partner will not protect you. Everybody is at risk if they don't know the facts about HIV/AIDS transmission and take the necessary steps to prevent the spread of the disease.
