Ask Doctor: HIV+ Wife⚕️🎗

Duta Doctor: What you describe is a phenomenon known as sero-discordancy. It is known, though not very commonly, for one partner of a couple to be HIV positive and the other to be HIV negative despite unprotected sexual intercourse. The reasons for this are not well known and many factors are thought to be involved. The chances for you to contract HIV remain the same as for everyone else, that is 0.03% to 0.3%.

You knew that your wife was HIV positive when you married her. I see no reason for you to not love her anymore. As far as sexual intercourse is concerned, you should always practice safe sex and use condoms. If your wife is not on medication for HIV, you should consult a doctor or a HIV counsellor to discuss the same.
