10 Questions You Always Wanted to Ask an HIV+ve Bodybuilder

Manipur shares an international border with Myanmar and forms an important link in the drug trade going on in the Golden Triangle. Growing up in this state, multiple medal-winning bodybuilder Khundrakpam Pradipkumar Singh tells us how he came back from being lighter than 30 kilos when he first tested positive for HIV, to working his way up to getting a full shredded physique.

national buzz You can still have a partner even if you are HIV positive. When on art, the vital load is not detectable and won’t be transmitted. Use protection if you are really scared

[@ba8898]

@@ashexxxx You're wrong - many couples take that 'risk', a risk which is zero if the HIV+ partner has an undetectable viral load. The risk of dying on your next car journey or choking to death at your next meal is much, much higher, yet very few people have a fear of eating or being in a car.
