Blood transfusion: To Xavier?

I asked "What is the chance of contracting HIV from a blood transfusion in the Philippines?"
You answered "you got a blood transfusion in the phillipines, you probably have more aids than an HIV positive simile."
Sorry, but I don't understand your answer... Also, sorry, but I don't know how to reply to to your message because there is no reply button and I can't see my message in the forum...
Could you please expand on your answer? Are you saying that most likely I contracted AIDS instead of HIV?

If you're concerned about having HIV just go get a test
