My boyfriend of two years with whom I have started discussing marriage plans recently went for a medical examination and discovered he was HIV positive.
I still love him and want to marry him but am afraid of getting infected.
Please advise me on what to do.

If you have had previous sexual encounters with your boyfriend, I will strongly advise that you also go for a blood test as soon as possible.
If you are tested to be free of HIV and you still love him, you can go ahead and marry him but you must be ready to have protected sex during your married life.
When it comes to the issue of having children, medical experts who are managing your husband’s HIV status will advise you on how to go about it.
