Don't worry
Get to a doctor. That is the first step. You will be fine. I know right now you are scared and so many things are running through your mind. You can still live a normal happy life. You will still have a fullfilling sex life. Things are MUCH different than they used to be. Please, please, please just get to the doctor to know what your next steps are.
On being "serodiscordant"
Dear Arpit,
Nowadays, medical science has advanced. It is indeed POSSIBLE to live with HIV and not pass on. All you need to do is to take medicines on time, not missing a single dose. Get yourself checked regularly (every 6 months) for CBC, VL and CD4. Make sure that VL remains in undetectable mode which is very important and your goal. And yes, it is possible to have a normal sexual life (as long as your VL remains undetectable for more than 6 months and also you should not have a history of any STD/STI).
You are very much a normal healthy human being. You can take care of your wife and kids and go to work everyday. The only difference is that you have an illness, but hey! Don't everybody? Some has BP, some are daibetic, some even goes through other health issues like kidney dialisis, cancer, heart attack etc etc etc. So, treat your illness as a normal one too - just fill it (with meds), then forget it. Life is beautiful!
Love and Light
