I'm Dating HIV Positive Lady & She Is Pregnant. Advice Needed by Crazeman03: 10:40am On May 01, 2020 |
Hello Nairalanders, Hope you guys are staying Safe. Please don't mind my writing, I will make it short as possible. I met this wonderful lady Last year and everything has been going good until 7 months ago when she told me she was Hiv+. That hit me hard but that didn't change anything, she was surprised I didnt react and opening up to me didn't scare me because I'm negative though we haven't had sex yet before the moment. Now it has been 4 months we've been having unprotected sex. I'm not afraid of contracting the virus, as she keeps taking med and her viral load is low. I made sure before we went for test before having unprotected sex. Her CD4 count is above 750 and viral load is below 20, which makes hiv undetectable in her. Now one night around 3months ago, she woke me up in the middle of the night to ask me, why do I love her knowing fully well about her status because she could not believe she will ever have a relationship with someone negative not even in this Nigeria by the way they stigmatize hiv+ people. I told her the reason and I'm not afraid hiv is not the worse or the baddest of diseases. There are more killer diseases than HIV and HIV is not a diseases but a virus. Only attack your immune system and its no longer a deadly virus. The problem I have now is that whenever I imagine myself having it and how I will popping drugs everyday, make me kinda moody towards her, because I always keep telling her to always take her drugs. Last night she discovered she is pregnant and I'm just imagining things how everything will play out, I know when she will put to bed she won't be able to breastfeed. People will ask questions. I really need to tell someone in my family but I don't know who. My mom my react and the other person I trust is my younger sister. On her own part, only her elder sister and brother knew she has the virus. And she had it since 2007. I only need an advice if I need to tell any member of my family, looking to settle down with her this October. 96 Likes 14 Shares |

Lol. So the family people you're debating whether to tell or not, na them go breastfeed the pikin for am ![]() If she not breastfeeding her child is the bone of contention here, I see no reason why it should be an issue. I believe there are a host of alternatives in place of that. 113 Likes 3 Shares |

You're building something beautiful here. Don't throw it to the dogs lest they trample it. Let's face the facts and be real — Disclosing her status will generate negativity. This can sabotage your happiness. So unless your relatives are understanding folks I don't think it's a brilliant idea at all. Just keep this secret to yourselves and support your wife. 567 Likes 31 Shares |

They say too many cooks spoil the broth but I'll give you my two cents. Don't tell anybody. Not even your sister. Make your life as private as possible. If you try it, you will know the true meaning of stigmatization. Even if your family eventually warms up to you (some will never), the truth will out everywhere to your extended family. You won't be able to attend family functions, etc. Don't start an interfamily village people standoff. Even if you have to, start your family first. Let the child come into the world. If they can reject your child along with you, then they can f**k off. Simple as ABC. 428 Likes 14 Shares |

There is no such thing as unconditional love and women being more red pilled than us men tis no wonder she has her doubts about you which is why she decided to fall pregnant thereby hedging her bet and tying you down....And women knowing women as to how devious they can be, I would give my right hand to be a fly on the wall where you choose to reveal her and her condition to your female family members...I have two words for you....

Crazeman03: What kind of questions? I hope you're prepared for the inevitable full-blown stigmatisation that will accompany your disclosure though ![]() And you really should have thought of this before engaging in unprotected sex with her. Up there you said you're not scared of contracting the disease, as if that's the only thing contraceptives are needed for. Nawa for you o. 10 Likes 1 Share |

I will say my mind plainly and not pretend like all the above commenters except emyrald91 Why would you have unprotected sex with HIV+ in the name of love even if she has low viral load? Why entangle your life with unnecessary risks and liabilities because of love? Do you think she wouldn't walk away if you were the carrier? I am selfish when it comes to issue like this because it is my default state as a human being. She didn't disclose it till 7th month when she noticed she had captured your heart. This is exactly what happens when men don't take redpills, the likes ubunja has been selflessly administering here I won't advise you. Advise yourself 96 Likes 11 Shares |
Re: I'm Dating HIV Positive Lady & She Is Pregnant. Advice Needed by Nobody: 12:29pm On May 01, 2020 |
I will say my mind, don't give a damn what anyone thinks. I will dare not start a relationship let alone have unprotected sex with a hiv patient. Yes she is nice to you now, loves you and all that but believe me, every woman in her shoes will do so too. Humility mostly comes after setback or disgrace. I can bet that if you had met her when she was slaying before contracting the virus, she might not have easily settled for you without messing around like several ladies of her age today. Don't take the humility of an injured lion too seriously my friend. Well, you already got her pregnant so deal with your issues but wait until you are also cornered by the virus to see her true character. You are a careless man and I stay far away from your type. 113 Likes 13 Shares |

Goddys: This dude doesn't understand that life is unfair. I just pray it goes right for him. Would she stay if he was the carrier? Mhmmm. My advice to him would be, stop having unprotected sex, he should stick with her but don't dare get infected with the virus. 26 Likes 1 Share |
