text: as muslim how should we react for hiv.? how should we consider condom use, how should we see people living with it. well, how about using birth control like we are allowed to do?  condoms are allowed.  god cares about our health, which is why he prohibited us from drinking and eating certain things.  for example, a woman just has a baby.  right away, she gets pregnant again and that baby is born sickly and has many problems.  right after that baby, another is born with even more problems.  islam says we can not harm one another and we can not harm ourselves.  women need time to recover from childbirth, and it's in the best interest of the next child so that it will be healthy and strong.  the mother also needs to get her strength back.  so, islamically, condoms are allowed.  if you are hiv positive, i think you should tell your spouse and get a divorce.  don't take the chance of passing this on to him/her or your children.  just think about them, care about them, think about their future and leave.
