H.I.V. What do you do?!


Question: H!.I!.V!. What do you do!?
My boyfriend just found out he has HIV!. I got tested last year when I was pregnant!. And again when I found out that he had it!. We have a 3 month old child together!. She does not have it either!. I know I have to keep getting tested!.
But my question is!.!.!.What do you do!? Do you stay with him b/c he is the father of your child and you love him!. Or do you leave and protect yourself and your child!? I really need some help on this one! Please and thank you!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I suggest going to a resource center!. They are in every major city and usually funded by private funds, or the state!. They can educate you!.

You need to be proactive and not reactive!. That means, you need to take measures not to get it!. That would mean using condoms everytime!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I guess it depends on how he contracted it!. You have a three month old, so you have been together at least a year!? You and the baby are clean, so has he contracted it since you were pregnant or what!? Is he having sex with other people or using an illicit drug which he injected into himself with a used needle!? Either way, I would leave unless you can be sure he got it before you were together, which it sounds like you can't since you obviously had unprotected sex with him!.
It's very hard to contract HIV now through anything legitimate like a blood transfusion or something like that!. It's possible, but not likely!. I would guess that if he got it, his habits are not healthy for you or your baby so without any other information, I would say go!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no one can decide this for you!.!.!. You have to take into consideration what risks you and your child will have to live with if he lives in your house!. Do you want to live with the constant worry!? Couldn't he still be a big part of your child's life without LIVING with you, right!?

BUT!.!.!. if you were careful and used protection every time OR practiced abstinence and were really careful about living habits, there's a minimal chance of your child getting it!.

I would say, if it was me, to protect your CHILD!. But that's just me!. Ultimately, this decision can ONLY be made by you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you are willing to make the sacrifice and stay with him and get Hiv,well i guess you want your child to grow up parentless!.Its not long again beofre he kicks the bucket!.You should give god thanks that your test came up negative so far!.Personally i think that you can treat him nice until such time,but try to live for your child,who will guide her when both of you are gone!.

Honestly, that is not a question anyone anywhere can answer!. Only YOU can answer that!. You need to do a LOT of soul searching!. Don't let others try to tell you that you need to leave him or you need to stay!. That is for YOU to decide, not anyone else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I dont know, Its a tough question!. Im gay and this always comes up in the gay scene, but for me personally i can not have sex with someone with HIV!. Its up to you and no one knows more than you on how you feel for this guy!. goodluck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Stay with him!. Practice safe sex or abstinence!. Go to a councilor together!. If you love him and he loves you, work through this together!. Dont forget to talk about the big picture!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey, how did he get HIV!? I would leave him because he had sex with someone else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
