I think my husband has HIV.

I think my husband has HIV. We have been married a little over 2 years, and have been having unprotected sex a little before that. I am pregnant and my testing was negative. He is always sick with colds, and has had atheletes foot for months. Will condoms protect my baby if we have sex? Are they reliable?

your husband needs to have a risk to be infected with hiv he doesn't just develop it out of thin air.  symptoms aren't reliable and there are people who can't shake athlete's foot for months even years.

You stated in another thread that your husband was a Nurse. Now if he thought he was infected wouldn't you think he would test?

Cold frequency or athlete's foot have no significance for determining HIV status.

If your husband doesn't know his status then he should test.

Condoms will protect YOU and yes they are reliable.
