Sh it happens bro.

The same exact thing happened to my senior brother.

Was married for about 10 years without knowing the wife was positive.

4 children later in 2019 ,she collapsed and went into coma and never woke up.

It was from the hospital report that we realised she was positive and unfortunately the last born was too.

And no,this is no Super Story.
she must have cheated on him ...thats how she must have got it and thats why the last one has it ...

Wat of couples that have been "you know" for yrs before deciding to settle?
Googledotcom:
Churches like Winners and Redeem etc, will make couples conduct every necessary medical test before indulging in marriages. These are necessary procedures every right thinking person should undergo before marriage.

This is why you should abstain from premarital sex. And also do all the necessary medical tests before marriage.

Medical tests, with HIVnand Genotype are compulsory before church wedding no be today. The question is if they ever wedded in a church.

Just for a second imagined that it was the man that hid his hiv status from his wife.

Efcc, ndlea, nafdac, nta, ait, olopa, prison warders, feminist and SIMPle men no go let his spirit rest.

But since she's a woman everywhere quiet even some SIMPle men dey even blame am.
Life no balance for men but it is well. Men are endangered and stigmatised species.

Married with 3 children and no STD tests?

What exactly did the wife die from?
There are several clients that don't disclose to their spouse.

One that is HIV positive is busy hitting one beautiful drug addict up and down because he is giving her money to buy drvg.
And we were told not to reveal his status to anyone to avoid stigmatization. Now he is busy using it to hit that drug addict up and down

What are your thoughts on disclosure and trust in marriage when it comes to serious health conditions?
So in all the tests conducted on her while she was ill, non was HIV test?
Some part of the story is missing.

Well, she may have been married to herself all of that time. Maybe that is how he was able to get around, never finding out until she revealed it to him. 😒

Was the man ever there for any of the pregnancies and deliveries... the story reads more like a man who was not particularly involved. 😒

He should go and get tested and treated if exposed.

People should be more open with their partners or find partners with similar health backgrounds.

With the type of stigma associated with the disease, I can the wife’s selfish position.

Nope, I didn't support or approve of what happened to the guy, you did. So, you should be able to repeat what you wrote when it happens to your child. It is common sense, which seems to not be common, after all.

Not responding anymore, so knock yourself out.
As u wish
It will happen to your child

He cannot look at his wife's files.
Patient's medical records are strictly confidential.
Nigeria does not operate a proper partner notification system like here in the UK.
In Nigeria, if a man or woman does not disclose their status to their partners, their partners may never get to know
I see all my wife's test results for all her pregnancies. Am I not the one paying for it?
In fact, I go with her in all her doctor's visits thru out all her pregnancies.

I dey inside with her as she dey see her doctor.

Even during delivery, I DEY FOR THE DOOR DEY PEEP IN EVERY 30 MINUTES. IN ALL HER DELIVERIES. AND ONCE I HEAR MY BABY'S CRY, I GO INSIDE sharperly TILL ALL THE CLEANING IS DONE, I HOLD MY BABY. I NO WAN HEAR STORIES THAT TOUCH THE HEART.

My thought exactly,she wasn't obviously infected from the start.

Was personally attending to her as a health professional without the outmost protection,only for me to see the her hospital report a few day's later.

Was like what the heck.🙆🏾

HIV does not kill abruptly just like that.
She obviously has been sick for a long time and had it well hidden.

Also my brother wasn't living in the same house with her permanently, as they were having issues and that made it easier to hide.

If your wife has HIV, you will not see her test results. Lol
So be calming down
Doctor will even tell you to step aside while he or she discusses with your wife , in order to maintain confidentiality.
There are sensitive things you don't discuss in front of a patient's spouse or relatives without the consent of your patient.
I want to ask a woman if she has had an abortion before? I will simply tell her husband to excuse us and he will step out for few minutes. I will get all the information I need and then he can return.

How do you know that? Anyone taking their medicine regularly can no longer infect another person. Infact, after about a year, their tests will also be negative; but they still have the virus.
It's not like that,you have to be on treatment and achieve U=U status first, before one can no longer transmit the virus,which takes a while of religious treatment.
No just see say person dey on meds go dive am raw in the name of untransmissible oo,

Meanwhile, with the introduction of LENACAPAVIR into the market, HIV will soon become easily treatable like malaria.
Preventable, not treatable.
Lenacapavir is simply a 6 month lasting PrEP.

It does.
Pose serious ARV resistance in some cases no matter what regimen and kill you,slowly and painfully.
It has its own crisis phase too.

What exactly did the wife die from?
Story no clear. Let’s assume while they had kids there was no infection because if there was,it would have been made known to the couples. Then let’s say after the kids and then the infection,your wife falls sick and in all hospital consultations,you didn’t know the outcome of the tests and what the wife was treating? Mind you in a standard hospital these days,retroviral screening is most times included in any tests being investigated. And again saying the wife only told him when she was about to die only indicates that she didn’t die as a result of the infection and if that was the case,considering the length of marriage and how long the infection lasts before it kills without proper treatment/management,it would have affected the kids aswell and the man would have fallen Ill too.The story to me no add up.

Aside being used as PrEP, it is also used in combination with other HIV drugs for treatment purposes. That's why you have it both in the oral form and as injection. It does damages to the viral structures and is capable of significantly reducing viral load.
