La condición de seropositivo al VIH no necesariamente implica que se tenga sida, ni que éste se vaya a desarrollar, por lo tanto no significa que se esté en riesgo de una muerte inminente, tampoco puede ser causa de despido, ni de que la persona cambie su estilo de vida, ya que las personas seropositivas, sobre todo las asintomáticas, pueden llevar una vida normal, tomando las precauciones debidas en sus relaciones sexuales y en otros aspectos de su existencia, que al final son las mismas para todos los individuos infectados o no. 3, record 1, Spanish, - portador%20de%20VIH
