HIV prevention: Don't panic! Almost certainly you can be protected from HIV. Husband needs to be in care of an HIV expert clinic or doctor. For now, stop having sex with him (even with condoms), probably a few weeks. Once he is on anti-HIV drugs, he probably will become non-infectious and you will be able to safely have sex without risk, maybe even without condoms. Plan a nice dinner and flowers at that time!
