My friend got it from a cheating spouse who picked it up from who knows where. This friend has been living as HIV+ for years (even being very ill at times - others not at all really). Considering my friend's spouse is still HIV- after being together ages and having children together, as long as the doctor said it was safe, I would believe them and have sex as usual. However if it was a concern I'd use a condom.
Then again being around my friend has taught me not to be so fearful and realize HIV+ is not a death sentence. HIV+ is not automatically passed on to a spouse. HIV+ is severely misunderstood and people have a tendency to treat those who are HIV+ crappily because they simply do not understand how it works.
