Dear Doctor, recently my friend got HIV Positive he is a married person and also having two children. His wife also did the test but it was negative for her. I just wanted to know that, is it curable if we will treat in the early state or any other way which she and her children can protect from getting HIV from her husband? Waiting for your reply.

For now it is not curable, but it won't transmit to childrens and wife (through protected sex. He can lead a normal life like all others if he is on ART. HIV won't get to transmitted through kissing, hugging or sharing food, so don't isolate him.
