If she had been better informed, Missy would have got herself a Post-Exposure Prophylactic (PEP) course of treatment immediately after her close encounter with HIV.
This 28 day course of limited anti-HIV drugs is proven to greatly reduce the risk of HIV taking hold provided it is started with 72 hours of the occasion of potential infection. [check out the www.aids.gov website for details and boring insurance stuff]
1. HIV doesn't spread so easy, so the chance of getting it with oral sex is almost none existing. And no you can't get it from hugging or kissing!
2. After the exposure the wife could have started a HIV treatment up to 48h after the exposure to lower the contamination risk by 80%.
3. Today with modern treatment you don't die from HIV and while you take your medis (for example Truvada) you can even have unprotected sex again without fear of spreading the virus. So today living with HIV is just like living with a chronical disease like diabetes. As long as you take your medis and live a healthy lifestyle you can almost get as old as people without HIV.
So what this story and lots of the comments show, is a big lack of education! So my recommendation would be, vote for public healthcare and don't listen to some lumberjack preachers who don't know what they are talking about.
Don't know about the US, but the drugs used here now allow for sex without fear of passing on HIV. Don't know the details of how long someone needs to be taking them before they get to that point and it is still a life sentence in as far as they need to take the drugs forever, or at least until they die.
