ATTENTION YOUNG PEOPLE!
Be smart! Use protection!

A new analysis of HIV diagnoses among men who have sex with men points to a troubling increase in new cases among young men, U.S. health officials reported Thursday.
Public health experts use the term "men who have sex with men," or MSM, because many of these men are not strictly homosexual or even bisexual.
Between 2001 and 2006, male-to-male sex was the largest HIV transmission category in the U.S., and the only one associated with an increasing number of HIV/AIDS diagnoses, according to a report from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The jump was highest — an increase of 12.4 percent — among boys and men between the ages of 13 and 24 years who had sex with other males, particularly among ethnic minorities.

My question is whether or not you can be born with HIV?
Because is it possible for me still being a virgin to give a girl aids? or any STD for that matter.

If you were born with Aids, your Mother would have to have had it during her pregnancy. Same with some STDs (not all though, I dunno which, this is just what I remember from that middle school health class I had however many years ago).
Something else I think I remember, is that you can transmit some STDs through ways other than vaginal Sex. Oral, "assistance play", some blood transfers.

And if you were born with HIV, you'd have died by now without treatment, so you would know if you had it. Same with your girlfriend.
