Hello.
I'm not sure what you're asking. It seems as though you are under the impression that an HIV diagnosis is a death sentence or reason to leave your wife? I don't understand this. There are many current treatment protocols which are highly effective; indeed, many people have been living with HIV for over 20 years, in relatively good health.
Please find out more about your wife's status, educate yourself and encourage her to do the same. I have no idea why you would feel she's going to shut you out; but the best way to encourage her to communicate with you and include you in her decision-making is to talk with her and reassure her of your love and support. The most important thing to tell her is: "I love you, I'm here for you, and I want to be part of this process with you." Best of luck to you. Dr. J

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
