Hello,
Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.
If I am your doctor I advice you that HIV has no cure once the infection is started. Window period is the period after you are infeced with HIV. So there is no point of cure of your HIV. Only thing you have to do is you have to protect other people from getting HIV. You have to do safe sexual practice, do not give blood for transfusion to other.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.

Hello
Since , you are within window period and your boyfriend is already HIV positive (early stage ) , so take antiretroviral therapy before any replication of HIV infection .
This is only an option , so consult a physician and take treatment .
Antibodies to HIV begin to appear within 2 weeks of primary infection ( contract ) but not later than 3 months .
So get in these test and do as mentioned above.
