No laws/policies against HIV positive expats or tourists residing or visiting Cambodia. Honestly, I would have been surprised if there were due to the ease of visa. If anybody is interested I did find this site while looking that shows you what countries have restrictions, bans or will deport if you are HIV positive.

Do you think he has a smart attitude in his life?
Or does he have a stronger/different sense morality, and therefore it’s confusing for you?

I have pity for him, we all make mistakes and his was a lethal one. His longevity would probably be increased if he had returned to the UK and enjoyed the benefits of the NHS. He doesn't t have dreads and isn 't asking to fly a cat halfway around the world for surgery. He seems to have a good attitude about what awaits him and he continues to do good. No negative comments from me, no money either but I won t put him down.

He says that he has 3 young children. There's the child when his GF banged a local, but who are the other 2 kids?

Why wouldn't someone who's in this situation just go home where you have safety nets in place, unemployment benefits, better medical to treat his HIV. He could find a job in his own country and send money back to support his kids in Cambodia.

If he's that broke and can't afford a ticket to return home, he won't have money for a visa renewal.
Just to easy to beg for money online now, instead of being a responsible person.

I wish him the best of luck

The odds of him contracting HIV from his girlfriend are incredibly remote. A friend of mine worked in the health dept. back in the U.S. His office, during his tenure, tested around 30,000-40,000 men for HIV. I asked him how many contracted it through heterosexual intercourse. He said there were two cases, and he had his doubts about one.

Regardless, he should get off his broke ass and go home. If he went home and got an entry level job, and maybe a part time job...he could send more than enough money to his "family" to put them in a much better situation.

I was going to make that comment, but I didn't want to open the floodgates to the "HIV isn't related to AIDS" nutters.

Wait a minute: he has 3 children now, so after he found out his girlfriend had HIV and he himself, too, he made 2 more children?
WTF? Anyone here thinks that's a responsible thing to do?

"My children should have a better life than this", he writes.
Yeah, maybe in the first place by not producing them while fully aware you and your girlfriend have HIV.
