Question
My husband said he is “thinking about it”
17 February 2015. Related: All topics, HIV testing, Pregnancy, Sexual health.
My husband cheated on me while I was pregnant. Then I found out after giving birth.
My baby is five months now and we haven’t had sex.
I’ve ask him to do an HIV test and he said he will think about it.
What should i do?
Answer
Asking your husband to take an test seems very reasonable, especially to overcome issues of trust as you are building a new family.
If it upsets you to think about HIV, and you feel strongly about it, then this is important.
Until he takes a test, then whenever your husband asks you for anything – tell him the same thing, that you are “thinking about it”.
It is easy to take an HIV test.
Good luck – I hope things work out.
