Abstract

In many Muslim nations, HIV and AIDS are significant problems. The day provides a chance for public and private sector partners to disseminate information about the pandemic's current state and to promote advancements in HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care around the globe, especially in nations with high prevalence rates. In this work, I have examined many HIV and HIV-related topics in the context of Islamic law, such as what the doctor's responsibilities are, whether a woman may ask for the annulment of her husband`s nikah if he has HIV, the right to an abortion, and other related topics. In addition, the Changing Face of HIV: An Emerging Problem in Muslim Countries. In order to stop the spread of HIV in Muslim countries, it is necessary to ensure that the social, cultural, and religious structures now in place in Muslim nations do not provide a setting for any kind of safe disclosure for those who are infected.
