Yesterday, a nairalander narrated his fears on running HIV screening. Thank God he later did the test and it turned out negative. Reading through the comments on the thread I observed a lot of us are so afraid of HIV and hence, the stigmatization.
All things being equal, can you marry someone who is HIV positive assuming you are negative?
Thanks.

no mmm

Yeah

NO

My sex with her would be restricted because we would only engage in protected sex. And all dem wild things i'd wana do to her will not happen again. Too bad.

NO

No I can't...I will not risk my life personally & the life of my future children knowing that my partner is HIV positive...

I'm so informed abt this...it is more nonsense if u keep insisting urself that's it's OK to risk ur life to marry a HIV positive ,so if u want u go on its up to u but not me ...

HIV is not a joke ,it's a serious thing..no amount of money can cure this virus.

No sir

Lalasticlala can you?

Mbkite:

Yep just Like cancer

Even d HIV victim won't want u to marry him/her

And who says the HIV negative people will always live longer than the positive ones. I fink the only thing to be worried about is missing out on raw sex.

nrexzy:

say NO to stigmatization.

If I know beforehand, no. If we both share the condition, yes. If one is negative and marries a positive person they[the positive one] can retaliate any given misdoing by halting medication in the hope of infecting you. Such is a risk so immense I don't know any normal person willing to take it.

Regarding yesterday's thread it was disheartening to see the opinions of people regarding HIV+ individuals. We, our pastors and government can preach against stigmatization but it'd remain a fact of life in this ever backward country.
The OP saw his result as a badge of honour and resorted to join the bashers, I shook my head at their ignorance. Well, good thing he's negative, he's still yet to find out the cause of his recurrent illnesses.

Hell yes.

great!

My friend wit aids is still my friend, just becoz his got hiv, it does nt mean its de end. So many hiv positive ppl have lived even longer dan de so called healthy ones. I wud marry him. We wud use condoms. Hiv wud nt stop much coz i can give him mouth action wit a condom too, and he can give me mouth action regardless, n if m de positive one, mouth action is de only thing we wud miss out on. There r ways for concieving, either we do artificial insemination or we plan our days well. So dat we knw wen m most fertile, we do it witout protection, den i take de 30 day hiv prevention treatment afterwards. Which is even a small price to pay. De baby wil dfntly b negative becoz of de latest developments in medicine and my kissing my man wud also not b a problem, coz i have learnt dat for u to b infected thru kissing, u wud basically have to treat a bucket ful of dat person's salievour. Yes we wud need to b careful a little, like one wud need to use gloves in order to deal wit the other's wounds in an emergency, and life wud still continue. Hiv is not a death sentence and there is nothing to fear. As long as u take care of your self all is well.
