Hi. Can I marry if I am HIV positive? I am only 28 male, and just diagnosed. How long I can live if I start HAART in future? Do you also think there will be more treatement options in future? Thank you
Answer
Yes, most countries have no legal obstacles against marriage, though many countries do have laws that saw you need to tell your partner about your HIV status. There are some countries where discrimination limits human rights, so it also depends where you live.
Many HIV positive men get married – to partners who are either HIV positive or HIV negative. If their partner is HIV-negative it is still possible to have children
Hi Lueh, I am sorry that you have had this trouble – and that other people think that it is okay to treat you like this – it definitely isn’t okay and it isn’t their business.
As this has now been done though, it is up to you whether you want to talk to your guy about this. If he is serious, you can be upfront and talk about how you feel. You could also talk about how HIV meds also protect partner’s as well, because undetectable = untransmissible.

You also sound like a strong person to have dealt with HIV and to be on treatment – and also that you are studying at college. You have plenty of time to find a partner who is just as smart and un-to-date about HIV treatment – and who will support you and value everything about you – including HIV.
I hope that everything works out okay whatever you decide.
But guys what do you think about people who tells people about your HIV results to your negative guy when you are not ready to tell the guy about it…in another words,,, your relationship is a month old and you are studying your person then boom your relative tells him about your status and all your relationship torn apart,,,,, what must I do
