A member asked:
Is it possible for living with a hiv infected person to be dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Not unless you are having unprotected sex. During the decades that there was no effective treatment, no family member became infected through ordinary household contact. You might not want to share toothbrushes or razors; that's probably it.
