Lots of people didn't read the part where the op said her cousin STOPPED using protection.
That is the danger.
She should go back to using condoms IMMEDIATELY

Again, sex with a HIV positive patient UNPROTECTED is considered HIGH risk.

iS VERY POSSIBLE IF THE Lady has no receptor in her Erythrocyte, and is also possible if the HIV virus were passive from the Onset. The Lady might got it but it does not enter the blood stream. But the closest possibility, She may have no receptor for HIV virus . about 0.6%

@poster......please can u share with us other earlier symptoms ur cousin developed apart from being very weak according to the wife?

baba, u dey suspect yourself?

lolly2pops:
My dad is + and my mom is -. So yes, it is possible. He's been living with the virus for 10 years but lately tests reveal he is negative. He continues taking his meds as before.

Very bold of you to share this. Truly HIV is no longer a death sentence as many believed in times past. God bless your parents union.

ewons1:

The symptoms of HIV include

Swollen lymph nodes: groin, neck region

Thrush in tongue- whitish spots
Weakness
Nausea
High fever
Flu

But all these symptoms could also be considered for other viral.infections or malaria etc.
Going to the hospital for a test is the only sure way of knowing.

Some years ago, i saw a show on TV where a young guy had a baby with a + girl and was still negative. She got it through blood transfusion as a young girl.

She told him she had it, and he still went ahead to date her and even had a kid with her, and a year later was still negative. I am not a Medical Doctor but i think she might be saying the truth.

the tendency of a guy conracting hiv frm a lady is low. This is becos d manhood does nt swallow or absorb the juices frm d womanhood but d lady directly receives nd swallows d semen released by d guy. Hence, ladies contract it more. Both juice nd semen r carriers of viral cells...

dokyOloye:
If let's say a man has HIV,has a high viral load,and they engage in rough unlubricated sex where they both sustain minor abrasions leading to blood contact,and d wife has receptors for d disease,my brother,there is nothing that will prevent d woman from contracting d disease.
The issue abt sickle cell is diff,that one is a matter of probability,just like d way U might not get d number 6 even if U throw a dice up for 10 times even though d probability for getting 6 is 1/6 per dice throw.
Summary is that if ALL d predisposing factors are present,it will take a miracle for an exposed person to escape d disease unlike in sickle cell where U have just 1/4 chance of getting a sickle child and this applies to EVERY Of d pregnancy not d sum of all d pregnancies.
Abeg,as a trained professional U claim to be,know d type of info U give ppl cos they will believe Ur words just like a christian will believe whatever is in d bible.

.......As for the AS partner and the child,...i'v modified that statement but in the case of the HIV related issue,there is no miracle....though its a 60/40 possibilty......even a research made by my PHD professor in virology who works in a medical teaching hospital in manchester city confirmed this alongside other professors in related virological courses.....so you who have no knowledge of this issue at all should open your mouth to say things you have no idea about and stop discouraging people by telling them that you are saying the plain truth!!.....i don't take my profession for granted,if not i won't be where i am today saving lives.........TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!

It's possible, though rare. In medicine, we never say never. There are usually exceptions.The man's viral load might be low, coupled with other factors that can make her remain negative even after several unprotected coitus. You didn't ask how, you just wanted if it was medically possible, and thus my answer is YES.

HOWEVER, If she is really sure that the test results were correct and she still remained negative even after the second test which I assume must have been done after the window period, then she probably has either been lucky or the husband might even be a victim of wrong results and is only suffering psychological symptoms manifesting as HIV/AIDS' symptoms. Luck might run out on her if she doesn't protect herself mechanically(barrier) or pharmacologically (prophylaxis).


A lot to say to this topic, but I can barely type.

So I would recommend that anyone interested in learning more should google HIV and AIDS, note the differences between them, and check out the modes of transmission and pathophysiology.

Peace!!!!

Too many people on social media say what they are not sure of.

No it is not possible, if the couples have not been using 'protection'.

That the women tested negative today does not mean the woman may not have the virus.

The common tests available detect the Hiv antibody, not the antigen.Therefore the body must produce these antibodies over time to be detected by the test reagent. This is called the latent or window period. The point where the body produces enough antibodies to thevirus is called seroconversion.

If the woman have been having unprotected intercourse with the husband within the last 6months, its unlikely she does not have it, its also possible she will not test positive for reasons as above.

Polymerase chain reaction that will test for viral antigen is more definitive to prove at this point. Unfortunately pcr is not routinely done to test for the virus.

Let her go for another test in six months. Its not yet uhuru..Safe to commence on post exposure prophylaxis for her.

That the husband is coming sick implies he maybe harbouring the virus for some time.

If the woman is 'negative', and the husband is becoming sick, then its likely the virus came from outside.
Why? Statistics show that majority of transmission (80-90% )is via sex; heterosexual, followed by homosexual and then high risk pple like drug junkies. Blood transmission and the rest are uncommon and in the minority.

When we stay mutually faithful, or practise safe sex, we protect ourselves, partners and families.

Finally, HIV is real but HIV is not a Death sentence!!

Spread the word, not the virus.

Very possible

dokyOloye:
d commonest of d tests for this disease is based on detection of antibodies to d virus in d blood stream.
The virus might have been suppressed to an undetectable level based on that particular type of test but that doesn't mean he ain't still +ve.
A polymerase chain reaction test is d best in this case and even for d woman d op is talking abt cos this test looks for d virus itself and not its antibody like is done in d usual tests in most centres.
This test(PCR) is available in just few centres and are usually reference hospitals which are few per geopolitical zone.

The HIV facility he goes to is advanced in terms of technology and methods put in place in dealing with the virus. We are based outside Nigeria and mom as well went through some thorough check-ups. Dad continues with his treatment irrespective of the outcome of these tests. And still on mom's case, can this virus live suppressed for 10 years? Thank you for the advise. Much appreciated.

Reason is because HIV is a hoax used as an excuse to administer deadly drugs that knock out the immune system (I.e giving AIDS).

It is the treatment that gives AIDS and kills, not HIV.

Pain:
Hopefully someday the Medical Community will fully understand the mechanics of the transmission. For now there are still many in-conclusions and and unanswered questions.

Stay safe and enjoy life.

You don start. You go be Delta boy.

Beside ART drugs, HIV +ve individuals and those who want to prevent the virus take Nigella Sativa (black seed oil) anyone heard about this?

All i have to say is that it is highly possible. reason why i said so is because , a direct uncle of mine got infected late last year; and my aunt been his wife got to know he was positive recently.
They both went for test severally, but she and her children came out negative. So in regards to that, i can firmly say that it is highly possible. Also looking at the issue of both partners meeting themselves after which the lady incline knows her man is infected, is an area i cant day. But if i am to speak from a layman point of view; your said aunt BLOOD CELLS are very strong and i believe doctors should take her blood to the lab for cross examination. Who knows whether the cure might come from her blood, against for her husband nor Nigeria at large.

Snipes009:
The risk of male to female transmission is indeed very higher than what you quoted. Maybe you quoted the reversal case i.e female to male. Check your source well or change your source.

The literatures don't lie I've added a link to my post go and check it out sir

Op, there are those that are called "Healthy carriers" what this implies is some people might be positive be when they carryout test, it will show negative but when they sleep with someone .They can get that person infected.

It is easier for a man nt to get it than for a woman bc of their body anatomical differences

flybiz08:



Please verify before posting things with authority. The chances through cuts are lower because the virus dies almost instantly once exposed. This is because it cannot withstand room temperature and air too. Even with sharps, few cases have been recorded. An ideal survival environment is the vagina.

Chances are higher for infected syringes as the virus is kept alive my the moist remnants in the syringe which is fluid.

The chances of getting HIV from sharp object depends on so many factor but the risk as generally being put at 0.3%.

that's a very blasted and erroneous statistics. it's easier for a man to infect a woman than for woman to infect a man! Quote ur source and stop pouring hyper toxic stuff here.

Now how do I explain this to u. Seeing that u are likely to be a colleague going by your Id

www.catie.ca/en/pif/summer-2012/putting-number-it-risk-exposure-hiv

True male to female transmission is higher (avg 0.08%) as compared to female to male transmission (avg. 0.03%) per intercourse. Note that 'per intercourse' as I earlier stated , go through the source and their references. I need not to state further that the risk increases with the number of intercourse, I think that should be obvious

It is possible I hv seen a case like dt n d woman was d carrier, b4 dey got married dey did their lab test at different places but d lady knew dt she is HIV +ve but hid it from d guy, d truth came out wen she gave birth n refused to breastfeed her baby. The husband became worried n started disturbing d lady so she den confined in someone dt she's HIV +ve n wen they went to hospital d hubby n d child were -ve though d baby later died but d man is still -ve.

It's all by God's grace nothing more! Don't be sad about it, but keep covering your sister with your prayers. IT IS WELL.

There are lies they tell about HIV, we simply don't have all infos. A distant uncle of mine a certain Ndubisi Ude(a presenter in radio Nigeria) died if full blown AIDS some years ago and at the point of his death, He had a 6 month old daughter n a wife who tested negative for hiv/aids more than 2 times.

the family concluded it was spiritual. HIV might jot be a killer std, its possibly does not cause aids and finally as I have believed, D west flies around too many lies about HIV.

my conclusion is that we don't know the truths about HIV virus.
