My boyfriend has HIV

Published by

I just discovered that my boyfriend whom I have been cohabiting with for the past two years is HIV Positive. Kindly let me know what to do as I very worried in case I may have also contacted HIV.

It will be very important for you to go for a HIV screening test in order to know your HIV status. You may not have contracted the virus but should take urgent measures to discuss your future relationships with your boyfriend. In addition, having been confirmed to be HIV positive, your boyfriend should not be unduly worried but should avail himself of the subsidised laboratory and treatment provisions in any government health facility nearest to him.
