Aids couples
Aug 4, 2001

Hello, my cousin and the wife died of aids, and they left a two year old child who looks health but have not been checked for hiv/aids. Please can you tell me if this child is save although he is so healthy?

Response from Dr. Holodniy

You have not indicated the circumstances around when they were infected, or if the child is their own or was adopted. In other words, was his wife infected during her pregnancy with this child? If so, the child should be tested.
