My cousin's husband has been diagnosed with hiv. When I heard the news I put a call to her, asking her if she has it too but she said no. The man was first diagnosed +ve last november, after he became too weak and according to her, they took it as false because she was tested negative. March again this year, the man also tested positive but she negative. I then advised her to go for another test which she did few days ago and said it is negative. My question, is it possible for the man to have it and not pass it to her, or is she just lying in fear of stigmatization? She said she has stopped unprotected sex with him since last two months though, but how about other previous months they've been doing it raw. Doctors, experienced ones, please kindly say something. I'm really feeling bad

Believe it or not, it is very possible for someone to have intercourse with an HIV infected person and not contract the virus. There are very few people in this world whose genetic makeup prevents them from ever contracting HIV. There are also common cases of newborns of HIV infected women not carrying the virus. Also, I will advise your cousin to keep testing for the next 6 months, this may be a false negative. In other words, she might not have enough Viral Load for the test to detect right now, hence the false negative. She should also start taking antiviral medications right away, there have been studies that show this may help starve off the virulency of the virus in newly infected patients.

As always, prevention is better than cure, tell your cousin to continue with safe sex using condoms. No contraceptive is 100% fool proof except for abstinence of course, but condom provides a 98% prevention rate from contracting STDs if used properly. And if she finds out that she's infected, let her be at peace, HIV isn't the death sentence it used to be several years ago. Thanks to modern medicine, there are several antiviral medications she and her husband can take and still live a healthy lifestyle.

Its possible with God. A good woman who has remained faithful to the husband amidst his philandering ways can be protected by God. So its either she's a good prayer warrior or she's just scared of stigmatization.

Don't risk it.

So many false and potentially dangerous information on this thread. We owe it a duty to the impressionable minds and others reading this to give the right scientific information.

Let your cousin desist immediately from.sleeping with the guy unprotected. That is a death sentence.
Sleeping with a HIV positive person unprotected is considered high risk.
The only way to prevent HIV and other stds is abstinence.

Other than this abstinence the next best thing; condoms.

Condoms work and will continue to work. Use latex condoms everytime you engage in sex with an unknown status. Lambskin condoms don't work as properly as latex.
Women can also buy female condoms. God gave the wisdom of condom. Don't blame him if you don't use it. Get tested at least once a year if sexually active.

There is no substitute for science in this. Praying, fasting, giving alms will not prevent spread of HIV and other stds.

Don't be a victim of fraudulent godly or pseudo scientific bullshi.t.

Its very possible. I once argued that it wasn't until a medical Doctor explained it to me.

The thing is they will tell you its safe to kiss an HIV +ve person as long as there no mouth sore that is open but does it mean the virus is not in the saliva. It is very much present but the viral load is so small that the chemical in our saliva can kill it off before it reproduces and have the power to infect.

Same with the Sexual intercourse, the guy or girl will be given powerful anti retroviral drugs for a period. During that period the viral load in the system/blood of the carrier will be so low that it could even be hard to determine if the person is positive or not.

Another thing with the Anti-retroviral drugs is that it reduces the ability of the virus to reproduce. So if the couple should have sex within that period, the viral load will be so minute and weak that it will never be able to survive the onslaught of the receivers immune system.

this your post come dey make sex hungry me with HIV+ person,where can I get 1 or 2 of dem

One can have sex and not contact the virus and even give birth to HIV negative baby.

lt's possible. l hav read about some prostitutes in Kenya who tested Hiv negative, even though the rate of infection among men who patronize them was high. Some people are known to hav natural immunity to Hiv; maybe ur cousin is lucky to belong in this group.

Yes , it is very possible. The risk of male to female transmission is 0.07 to 0.08% per unprotected vag.in.a intercouse.although this also depends on the ,man's viral load and drug complaint if he's on drug. The risk is Much lower in kissing, and higher if there is cut from infected sharp object.
But the risk is still there and there is no wisdom in taken chances, discordant couple should use condom always


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.

I dont think this will be a good advise for her. This may just be an isolated finding or observational studies but there is no randomized controlled trial to date to confirm this.

Again you know every drug (including paracetamol) is a potential poison. Haven said this, for how long will she continue taking the antiviral agent?

This may even pave way for resistance such that if she eventually becomes positive the anti-retroviral drugs may not be effective again thereby complicating her woes.

@Bkings, your cousin is very very strong. If na me since that last November raw nacking go don stop. I can't shout oh.

Anyways it is very possible, same stuff happened to someone I know. Usually the man may have been playing away. Your cousin should be fine though. HIV is no longer a death sentence as long as dude takes his drugs. HIV free children are also possible to get from such union. Good luck to them.

This is common practice, it is a prophylactic approach to starve off the spread of the virus. It's not an isolated approach; if you work in a hospital and you get stuck with a needle for example irregardless if the patient the needle was used on has HIV, hepatitis etc, you are immediately started on an antiviral regimen for several months.
