Do discuss this on the HIV forum as well. If he cheated, and became HIV positive that way, then a divorce makes sense, mainly in relation to the cheating and the risk he exposed you to. If he became HIV positive before the marriage, continuing the marriage with extreme caution is also an option --- but call one of the HIV testing centers, best the one where he was tested, and urgently arrange for the pair of you to see one of the counsellors there. HIV testing without counselling should be banned.
