The only 3 ways of HIV transmission are unsafe sex with an infected person, from an infected mother to a child during delivery/breast feeding and transfusion of infected blood. The kids must be tested for HIV because there is a likelihood that they may have acquired it from their HIV positive mother during or after delivery. If the kids are HIV negative now and are not being breastfed, they will never acquire HIV from their parents in future. How old are the children? But for your friend and his wife, it is of utmost importance to be on the right anti-retroviral treatment. With good treatment, we are able to offer to our patients a almost complete life just like a HIV negative person. With treatment, they will also not transmit the disease to anyone else. More advise will need some more questions answered from the patient- and can be done over private consult/chat.
