Would sit her down to know how she came about it. Definitely gonna be a heart-break if she had gotten it from another man.
I might do something stupid if she has already passed the virus to me but if she hasn't, then I would forgive her and show her love.

well for one i won't wonder how she got it cuz one never can tell. Hopefully she'll come out and tell me straight away if it was from intercourse with another person but i won't push for it, Could potentially destroy our marriage if she's been faithful al along. After that we'll carry on as usual, afterall the vow was in sickness and in health. I'd probably even contact the virus too so that we share the pain together. All it's gonna do is kill and we're all gonna die anyway!

hmm God forbid and i'm going straight to the clinic  and then questions will rise bout how he got the diease first  but i think married couples should always practice safe sex unless they want to make babies and when they dont use protection get tested once every 3 months or better yet one a week or twice a month |

Laffing my Southern Nigerian arse off!  Haba crazykid! You will not even bother to investigate! What if it was through a blood transfusion or a needlestick? Naija man! Na wah for you oh! You forget that you too can catch the thing later down the line? Then go about spreading the ungerminated latent " pre HIV cells" around and infecting people! Being HIV- then is not a clearance you know! Anyway at topic! I will probably stay and take care of him. Because I love him and I cannot trust his care to anyone else. I want the father of my children to live with dignity. I will not even tell anybody! Though I do not expect my Naija husband to do the same for me! You know Niaja men now! His family will come over here with strong jazz or set you on fire first!  Then look for another wife for him kia kia! It is what I do for strangers as part of my job almost every day. Taking care of terminally ill patients, so why can't I do it for my Husband? Now if he does not want my help can I force him? Noooooooooooooooo !-------------Don't forget that there is life insurance to collect oh! Just kidding! Make una no kill me oh! well for one i won't wonder how she got it because one never can tell. Hopefully she'll come out and tell me straight away if it was from intercourse with another person but i won't push for it, Could potentially destroy our marriage if she's been faithful al along.

If this happens, i will ask him to go and check again, just incase their was no mix up. I will then go and check myself . And my kids if i happen to have any at this time.
then we need to have some serious discussions about our futur and when and how did he get it.
God forbid if i was positive, but if i was, i will stay with him.

It depends on how long we've been married you can immagine if he got it from waka waka and you dont have kids yet what the fact that your husband died of AIDS will do to your image in the society.I will stay with him and keep his illness a secrete so that I will have a better opportunity when he is gone to fall in love again and get married. But if we both have it I will join a society that comes out in the open to show people what HIV/AIDS can do if one is not careful especcialy people that are not faithful to their partners.

If I got married and he tested positive for HIV I'd probably kill him to be honest at the least beat him close to death, he either was stupid using drugs or was cheating and on top of that could've given it to me, I wouldn't be rational that's for sure.

i ve been married for three years and in january i found out i am hiv possitve and my husband is negetive
guess what guys? he is as loving as ever nothing has changed he buys my drugs and makes sure i take them religiously. we still have unprotected sex cos my viral load is not detected that mean i may never infect anyone except the person comes directly incontact wt my blood. i asked him why he's still wt me not like i din't know i just wanted to hear from him cos this hiv thing has ruined lot of marrages he said he loves me and that nothing is stong enought to break us and that he knows if revers was the case i'll love him still.we are working towards making healthy babeies who will be hiv fee.

I don't think, from some of the responses here, people understand how the HIV virus works. Someone could have contracted it years before and it only shows up years later - they don't necessarily have to cheat for that to happen, though it is true in some cases.
I've known people with the virus and others, whose bias against those HIV+ and hypocrisy by their behaviour, reflects their ignorance as to how HIV is contracted.
Marriage is for better or worse. If they cheated on me whilst married, that's another matter altogether. If it is purely out of circumstance i.e. they were sexually active before meeting me and, even though they have been faithful were diagnosed as HIV+, what is the objective of leaving? Was marriage not for better or worse? Marriage is about commitment, it is no different to if a spouse becoming disabled because of an accident or a breakdown in their health. You don't just stay married during the good times, but you also have to be prepared for the not-so-nice moments too. That's how life is.
If people insist on having multiple sexual partners as their perceived sexual right, they are playing Russian Roulette with their lives. That, folks, is the reality.

Depends on how they got it. If they cheated on me, I'd be done.

the thing here is, if i am aware that my partner is HIV positve and she told me before marriage, then thats not a problem, cos even after marraige the man can still not be infected,
but if she didnot tell me and i get to find out after marriage, dats a problem, i will end the marriage,
also if she finds out that she is HIV and wasnt aware, one can manage that,
i advice those who are positive, if they find someon they love, they should tell the other party on time, if he or she loves you , he will be ready to stick wiv you,
for those that are HIV positive, just live healthy, take your daily medications, exercise a lot, and live life the fullest, and you okay, am sure before 2015 the cure will be out for HIV,
God bless.

For better for worse, as long as he\she did not catch it outside their marriage then you take it as your cross. With God all things are possible.
