I have get married 2 year's ago and I have a son of age 1 year. My wifes parents were died in accident as they told me at the time of marriage. But recently I come to know that my wifes parents were died because of AIDS, when my wife was 8 year old. After that I am feeling myself cheated and very depressed. We both have HIV tested in a small clinic of town and results were negative. But still I am afraid. So please tell me do I have chance to get affected or what time it take to show HIV symptoms?

Dont worry your wife s parents might have acquired it after your wife's birth, so both are negative. Why u feel cheated, ur wife has done no wrong, even ur in laws could have been affected through infected needles used in towns for common illnesses when not sterilized properly, and from one to another. Remove this negative attitude and take care of ur wife and children well
