Is there anyway i could find out if my friend has aids or not?

my best friend has aids i think but i dont know. ive asked him but he says no. hes gay and met his boyfriend when he was in prison. i talked to a cop a few years ago and he says he remembers him & said that he was HIV positive. the next day i confronted him about it. but he denied it, so is there any thing else i can do to find it out? would the jail have it?

wow this has nothing to do with you, if your freind wont share it with you, if its even true then its none of your bussiness, really who do you think you are triying to invade someones private life like that, you only need to know what your friend tells you, it doesnt effect you in any way unless you are sleeping with this person and having unprotected sex, but im going to say it again NONE OF YOUR BUSSNESS. you should respect your friend and not go around asking this stuff,

The privacy laws are such that you would go to jail getting the information; anyone how gave you the information would go to jail. There is no legal way to get that information without breaking the law unless he gives it to you, The cop you talked to is walking a thin line with confidentiality laws. Be his best friend but let it go.

First off, the cop had no right to tell you that information. Second off, you have no right to go prying through his personal life like that. Third off, Why would it effect you if he is HIV+? You two are not having sex, you are not sharing needles and you are not drinking his blood so you have no risk of catching it. Besides, if he is your "best" friend would it change how you feel about him? I told my best friend and we are closer than we have ever been.

Basically, there is no ethical way you can find out apart from asking him. All his records are private.

Even though he says "no", you are right in thinking he has it:
male homosexual;
imprisoned.

Don't do anything to risk catching it from him. You can still be his friend, though.

If you have asked him and he denies it, chances are he does not want you to know. You simply cannot go and pry into peoples private health information. It is not your business.

How did you meet the cop? Look through his medicine cabinet, or he might just get lesions eventually. Secondly, how would it affect your friendship, dont be insensitive about it.

why does it matter? if you're straight and he's gay and you two aren't humping then you won't contract it.
