Can you assume someone is sexually active if he would test for HIV to prevent others from getting infected?

From a survey, if a respondent says that in the case they had reason to believe they were infected with HIV, if that respondent chooses (from a range of options) that they would test for HIV in order to prevent others from getting infected does that assume that the respondent is currently sexually active?

no cuz you make an a$$ out of yourself

No. The scenario presented in the question states "if you have reason to believe that you are infected with HIV."

The logical response is that yes, you get tested for HIV. There's no discussion about sexual activity, only suspected HIV status.

It's a hypothetical situation. You're reading too much into it.

No, because HIV can be transmitted in other ways in addition to sex, including sharing needles for drug use. So someone may be a virgin, but they may be at risk for HIV (or for passing it to others if they are infected) because they share needles for drug use.

dont assume EVER

no
