Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.
As per results I am sorry to say that your son is HIV positive. But I would suggest you to take a confirmatory test like PCR to check viral load and CD4 counts. This will guide in treatment and course of action. You can take help of psychiatrist if needed for your son as counseling is most crucial. The progression to AIDS is a long process. You must ensure that he does not develop infection. Practice hand hygiene. Make him eat protein rich healthy and balanced diet with multivitamins and calcium supplement. Get him evaluated by a physician at earliest.
Hope I answered your query
