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 Sunny, if you are on ART (HIV treatment) living with HIV does not reduce your life expectancy. Many people with HIV live as long as their HIV negative peers.

Hi Husan, thank you for posting about the experience Uzbekistan. This does not make me want to visit or live in your country though. Luckily, very few countries treat people in this way. HIV is now easy to treat and treatment is highly effective. It lets millions of people live long and productive lives, including getting married and having a family – without risking the health of the partners and children.
