is he infected?
Jan 11, 2009

my husband had an affair with an hiv positive woman and made her pregnant, we were having intercourse without protection because i did not know or suspect anything until that woman came to me and told me that she was hiv+. I went for hiv tests in July and they were negative.their affair lasted three months, until march 2008. my husband is scared to go for the test.we have been having unprotected sex, could we have hiv?

Response from Dr. Horwath

It is possible that your husband may have HIV infection. He should be tested. Your test was negative 4 months after the affair ended. This should be reassuring if in fact the affair has ended.

You should not have unprotected sex with your husband under these circumstance. He needs to be tested, and you need to be confident that you can trust his word before you have unprotected sex with him.
