U will be doing the father a great deal of help if U inform him now cos He (the father) might be living with the virus without knowing. No matter how silly He is, Hr will never abstain from His own flesh & blood. The boy will get extra support & attention from the dad if U inform Him. Then for the little boys dream of going to a navy school, hmmmmm. U have to cancel that dream ooooo. His secret will leak in a boarding school U can't avoid that. Send Him to a day school around U. Please don't make the wild & dangerous mistake of sending Him to a boarding school else He might consider suicide as an option for the unavoidable stigmatization He will face 1 Like |

obongproff: I did not read this before commenting earlier hence the new comment. That man is a bloody cow. But please inform him of the boys status (without expecting support from The wicked father after) U are all the boy has now. sooner or later He will realise that & remove that wicked man from the father image he has placed him. May God support U & Ur Mom as U guys have supported this boy. |

Now, I need to be careful about the kind of school my children will attend especially schools that enrol HIV positive children without notifying all stakeholders of the school. |

OLUJOSHINS: Amen oh! Bros its not been funny oh. Dats y I dont blame my mom for not telling him all dis while sha, cos since he was born we've been d one bearing all d cost of raising d boy. My mom got angry and called d fada to start taking up responsibility two yrs ago when she got broke and dat was how he started contributing to d boy's scl fees. And he has neva sent complete scl fees b4 sha. He didnt even show up for ma late sister's burial. And der have been days when his son goes to see him and he wd be forming busy and d boy wd come back home unhappy cos he cdnt see his daddy. Now he is married and has a son, my mom is kinda worried dat he might restrict or even abandon d boy. Well we will tell him sha. At least he deserves to know as d fada. Thanks a lot. |

[/b]@obongproff, do not tell the father. If he is as irresponsible as you portray, he'll reject the boy and even spread the gist in a bid to avoid responsibility as a father. Rejection and stigmatization from outsiders will kill the boy's morale, and may drive him to suicide. Nothing stops the boy from telling him when he is older and more mature and prepared to absorb the shock of rejection. This is a serious matter. Look b4 you leap. 1 Like |

Go ahead and tell the father before you people end up killing the man. Hiv is not a childs play he needs to know so that he can put in mechanism to protect himself. Who knows if the young boy must ve infested the father in one of his holidays. Pls go ahead and invite ur pastor to assist in breaking the news. This will enable the father to go for test so that he can know his status . If he decides to run away contact his family before taking further actions |

obongproff: 1) I'm highly irritated by your idiotic style of composition. 2) Your Sister is not Cattle that you put on medication. That's confidential discussion and therapy between her and her Doctor. It's not a family affair. 3) That you, a mere Uncle, knows more about the health status of the child more than the Father is rather disturbing and shows the moral flexibility of your family at large. Your mum should arm herself with printed educative matter on this now insignificant illness and tell the Father everything she knows and with an apology. The legal profession in Nigeria still hasn't come of age else the Father should haul the lot of you to court. |

Re: Should We Tell His Father About His HIV Status? by Nobody: 1:37pm On Feb 11, 2015 |
You all who are saying "before he infects tom, before he infects harry" is the boy now the virus itself? Your words are laden with discriminatory expressions. Please at Op, which health facility is the boy registered with? I mean the hospital/facility where he receives his monthly micronutrients/ARV from? Ask for their Adherence counsellor or the Care & support focal person for guidance. Don't take decisions that will cause more harm than good biko 2 Likes |

CityNG: Is a shame an educated iliterate like u doesn't know that hiv can be contacted via other means aside sex. A boy got hiv by sharing clipper with the father . Just before u insult someone better than u why not use google to find out other means of getting hiv aside sex. Exchange of saliva can transmit hiv . Every caring parent do kiss their kids. |
Re: Should We Tell His Father About His HIV Status? by Nobody: 1:54pm On Feb 11, 2015 |
greggng: Dunce, I work in a hospital. Try to develop your brain from other than google. But I understand how you are since you lack basic educational facilities. HIV is not spread via saliva unless there's an open cut in the mouth that is bleeding. Maybe you need to stop inbreeding. You're simply a demonstrated product of a country with a failed educational system if all your life's learning is from Google. 1 Like |
Re: Should We Tell His Father About His HIV Status? by Nobody: 2:10pm On Feb 11, 2015 |
There is extremely low level of HIV contained in saliva. Come to think of it, the caring parent "kissing" a child would have to "deep kiss" rather "french kiss" the child to be infected. |

From what I av read so far,I don't think the guy is infected.Its possible ur sister got the disease att the early stage of pregnancy,probably after the guy rejected the ppregnancy...but all the same if he is the true father as u claim,then he has the right to know his son's status. |

GodMode: Many people do not have any symptoms when they are first infected with HIV. It can take as little as a few weeks for minor flu-like symptoms to show up or as long as 10 years or more for more serious symptoms. http://www.m.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/aids-older-adults |
