Watch 'Shuga'. It's a very educative TV series about preventing and managing HIV.

These are questions that should have been answered by proper sex health education right from primary schools and summarized by NACA but hey, this is our country. . .
OP, i'll go with the guys above and i leave with these words DO NOT DISCRIMINATE PLWHA

Yes, of course they can. They can also potentially have a child the old fashioned way and the baby will most likely be born negative, provided they find a doctor experienced with high risk pregnancy and the mother is dedicated to taking the meds necessary for an amazing outcome

Yes ths is possible. There’s no reason why HIV should be a barrier to getting married. And yes people who are positive can have healthy lives. The main thing is that they take medication.

I got this story from my neighbourhood and I wish to find out how one may want to take up a spouse who is Positive as a wife or husband. The story goes does, that a young of 37 years wants to get married, but the Lady, 31 years is positive. Though, the lady has started taking retro viral drugs early enough. Therefore, subsequent opportunistic infection and total collapse of the immune system is under control. That he desire to continue with the marriage. Here are questions;
1. Irrespective of retro-viral drugs, can such patients live with such condition for up to 30, 40 or even 50 years, just surviving with drugs?
2. Have you seen someone who has lived with such condition for up to 20 or 30 years? Calculating their ages, if you add 20 or 30 years, they may live just 57, or 67 and 51 or 61 respectively.
3. Or even if they are above that age or less what is the life span one has ever lived or survive with retro viral drugs?
4. Do such patients live above 70 year?
5. Have you seen anyone who has live above 70 years?

Note: The man in questions is still negative. He may have been taking Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) drugs which is very effective to stop infection.

Here are my worries, can someone take in a positive person as a spouse or for how long can they survive? Doctors in the house or other experienced contributions would go a long way to educate us. Recommendations and forums of such discussions would be highly appreciated. Thanks
