I think my friend might have HIV/AIDS?

I know this is a weird question, but I have this friend. SHe is 25 and she has unprotected sex fairly often with random guys. I've told her time and time again to use protection, but I know she doesnt. About last year, she started getting a sting of STI's (sexually transmitted infections). She went to get STD tests and everything. They treated her STI but it comes back a lot. THe past year she has also lost weight (about 25 lbs) without trying. She also had a horrendous staph infection on her face that so far has come back twice. I didnt think it could be HIV/AIDS until she told me she never called to get the results of her HIV test. She thought that they would call her if there was an issue. I havent told her yet that I dont think this is true (am i right? dont YOU have to call for that info?) I'm afraid for her, am I right to be concerned? SHould I tell her?

I called the clinic that I took her to and they said that they aren't legally allowed to give results over the phone so she would have had to go in and get them. I know she didnt

I would tell her to call. I would think they would call, but there are a lot of people that get tested and maybe somehow they forgot. She needs to get the results and if it has been a while ago and she has continued to have unprotected sex then she should get tested again. Not to mention....that it can take 6 months for HIV to show up in a blood test.

She is right. If she was infected they would have called her and started a treatment. Any positive results from the doctors office are called to you. No news really is good news when it comes to lab results.

She should see a doctor though for her other problems. It sounds like they should do a complete workup to figure out why she is getting sick so often.

wow i m nervous for her too!!!
