In this emotionally charged video, we delve into the devastating story of a British man who unknowingly spent eight years of his life married to a Thai woman who carried a hidden secret. It was only on the day his beloved wife passed away that he discovered the unimaginable truth-she had been living with HIV all along and had chosen to keep it a secret from him.
Prepare to be moved as we navigate this heartrending journey, where love, trust, and truth intersect in ways that will leave you questioning the boundaries of love and the strength of the human spirit. This video is a poignant reminder of the power of honesty and the dire consequences of silence within the most intimate relationships. #thairishtimes #thailand #phuket

I used to work with HIV patients. There was a patient I remember who contracted HIV in Thailand and point blank refused to tell his wife. This was despite doctors telling him that if the wife became sick and died, he would be facing serious criminal charges.

As an Asian woman this is my advise: most of these foreigners have been in too many countries and most are into different women too so be very careful in dealing with them. If you happen to have a relationship with them, take extra precautions by not dealing with unprotected sex or better yet submit to a test..your health is the most important. Dont just get in bed with them. A momentary flirtations could cause you your life...in the same manner than men should do the same. If a woman in just firrst meeting or 2 get in bed with you, you know then what she does or did with other men..i think i would sound judgmental with this statement but please take this as just a word of caution

This is exactly why with any relationship you get serious about, always go with them to the doctor and do a full STD panel. It costs almost nothing and then you both have piece of mind. People will spend enormous amounts of money on a relationship and then not even do the most basic bit of healthcare. Boggles the mind.

How irresponsible, negligent and ignorant is, not to tell your partner that you have AIDS!!! sure she knew it. The fact that AIDS wasnt detected in blood tests, it doesnt mean that there is no risk of developing the illness. I dont understand these relationships with Thai women, zero communication, sexually transmitted diseases, drugs, affairs, infected lovers, no real intimacy, everything is allowed except true love.

Are you interested in knitting your own shirt? No? So that's why you rather buy it. There are a lot of foreigners here who are interested in love but do NOT seek it with pleasure girls. The relationship with them is business, service (sex) for money. Both needs should be separated. Many foreigners can't do that. If you are looking for a love relationship here, your chances are most probably not better than at home, I would even guess worse due to a lack of cultural understanding and language skills. It needs effort, too.

Sad story, but for many thai "working women" , a true story.I also had known a beautiful thai woman (she passed away from aids at age 38. Her name was Kaya. Her story was this: Kaya started working in Nana Go go dance bars from age 17- 25.. Got too old for the bars at age 25, had stashed away some substantial money, so decided to go to school and earned a business degree in just 3 years from bangkok university. But heres where the trouble starts : she had a nice job at a company doing their marketing for a decent salary but Kaya wanted more $.. So at age 32, she went back to into prostitution and became a freelancer only on the weekends. And her regular job never knew the wiser.. She had her own website and was very discrete. But somewhere between age 34-36 she contracted Aids from a client, as she had a policy that if the client paid substantially more money, he wouldnt have to use a condom..I met Kaya just 2 1/2 years before she passed away at my GF's house and the ONLY reason she shared her life story with me is because she knew her health was in major decline and had already been diagnosed by the hospital...One of her best friend is also my thai girlfriend.She looked very sick and frail having no energy and she figured she had nothing to hide so she sat there for an hour and told me her story in broken english...Let this be a lesson to all western guys: Yes , thai women are drop dead georgeous at age 35... but what did she do for work to make all that $$$??... ask yourself that question and get her tested, before you decide not to use the condom.

Yeah even here in the Netherlands a prostitute who had a whole family said she'd not use a condom for extra money and if he seemed trustworthy. The very definition of a guy who goes to prostitutes and likes not using a condom makes them untrustworthy. And that woman had zero reason to do that for the money. She could end up infecting her husband and she had young kids to care for. You can imagine young poor women have very little choice when it comes to condom use at work but some women make terrible choices by themselves.

I worked on an AIDS floor in a hospital for 7 years in the 80's (as an RN). My question for this obviously devastated man is: How could you not tell she had AIDS? They become tremendously ill with many different diseases at the same time. The muscle wasting alone should have been a red flag months before her death. BTW it is difficult but not impossible for a woman to give a man AIDS. It depend a lot on the type of unprotected sex one has.

If you understand the survival mindset of some Thai people, it might be easier to understand how she handled this. While I certainly don’t condone her behaviour, I’m pretty certain (if I had to guess) it was fear driven, and by that I mean-she maybe felt she was going be dumped by him if she revealed her health status. Even if she got the right antiviral meds, she’d probably feel he’d ‘let her go’ and she’d not only be without a husband and provider, but that no one else would want her in her illness. And that maybe her and her daughter would be out on the streets, with no money or options. To be clear-I’m NOT saying that this happened or saying he WOULD ‘dump’ her-I don’t know, though he seems to still love her a great deal and seems like a kind person that would have cared for her, regardless. Also, my guessing this to be the case doesn’t mean I think she was a cold, calculating person: more likely she was a protective Mama Bear, worried about herself and her family: it doesn’t mean I’m thinking the worst of her. And please understand-I’m NOT judging anyone in this story-it’s not my place to. Until you’ve walked in someone’s shoes, we have zero right to judge or guess motives. That said… It was incredibly irresponsible to treat this man that way. To expose him to a potentially deadly virus, without his knowledge. I understand that poverty (if in fact, she was poor or from a poor background) and shame make people do terrible things. But this is unconscionable, at least in my opinion. And with THAT said, I’m glad she’s no longer in pain or suffering. I’m sure she was a good person, essentially-as you can tell he loved her very much. This story could have a had far worse ending for both. I’m glad he’s ok and my heart goes out to him.

I agree. This is very much a scenario worth considering when entering into any relationship. The exact chain of reasoning applies there also which leads to nondisclosure. That said, it all can be avoided by going with your partner to the doctor and getting a full STI panel done and then everyone knows what’s up. If she won’t go then you know something is up. In another comment Gary said that she actually died of a heart attack. It’s entirely possible that she was on ARV medication and didn’t actually die of AIDS which is very uncommon today since ARV meds are both cheap and simple to take in Thailand and available at every hospital and overwhelming effecting at completely stopping viral replication. AIDS doesn’t kill you with a heart attack. It’s usually pneumonia or another infection. If she was on ARV meds her chances of giving Gary HIV are just about zero. It’s not me saying that; it’s the CDC saying that. This is a complex story and I don’t know that Gary really got the full story about her medical history. Just because someone had HIV when they died doesn’t mean they died of AIDS. AIDS relates to CD4 cells in your blood below a certain threshold. People with HIV and are on treatment (nothing more complicated than a pill a day) have almost normal lifespans.

I found out a few days ago that the Thai woman I had met in online dating and had been talking to for over 2 years and was in love with and planning on joining and perhaps marrying in Thailand has HIV. I am 68 years old and she is 64 years old . It is a very difficult thing to hear from someone I love. Years ago I had a very close friend die from AIDS. It is a very sad situation. Thank you for sharing your experience. Thank you for your channel and sharing interviews like this.

First off, massive respect for going on camera and sharing this with the world. There is a lot of:What if could have etc. And that's very very understandable. But that doesn't bring back the person who is no more. *I had the same with a buddy of mine who died during my China days. He got on his bike and crashed, he basically went straight into a wall. And till this day (because I know somewhat know of his past and what not) the question remains if he did take his own life. Now, to me it is what it is, and it doesn't matter if he did. *I just remember the good times we had. Again, massive respect mate! Life is short, enjoy the moments with your loved ones.
