Should We Tell His Father About His HIV Status?

My late sista had a son for one guy who refused to marry her. And it was before her death dat we realised dat she was HIV+. We found out late else we wd hav put her on drugs.

But since den we hav been putting her son, my nephew, on HIV drugs. And its been like 5 yrs now. He's 10 and wd be done with primary scl dis yr. My mom wants him to scl close to d house so dat she can monitor him but he wants to go to a bording school. He says he wants to go to a navy scl and my mom is not comfortable with the idea.

I and my mom hav bin taking care of him doe his fada supports sometimes. He lives with my mom in our family house but he usually visits his dad especially during holidays.

D issue is his dad is not aware of his health challenge. My mom just told me dis today and we are so both confused. My mom doesnt know how his dad will feel if she tells him now cos she feels she wd hav told him earlier, and she is also scared his dad mite stop him from visiting him cos d dude can be silly sometimes.

Me sef I cant even think of any clue rite now dats why am asking d honorable house members for ideas. Pls how do we go abt it? Shd we tell his dad or shd we wait till he is much beta healthwise?

Ur ideas wd go a long way.
