Lady Winona: I'm sorry that you have to go thru this but like someone said earlier, it's really not the end of the world. I'm a doctor and I've worked in HIV clinic for over a year. All I can tell u now, is that there is still no known cure for HIV so pls don't believe people who will come with their herbal mixtures or pastors claiming they can heal everything, cos we've lost a lot of patients that way. I guess the first thing u shld do is to go to a government hospital and register. There, you would be tested for CD4 count, Full blood count, hepatitis B, kidney function test, liver function test, chest x ray and some might want to rule out tuberculosis. If ur CD4 count is above 350cells/ul, u wld be advised to live a healthy lifestyle with protected sex and all since u won't be needing the drugs yet. If however, it is below that, u will be started on the popular first line drugs which are zidovudine, nevirapine and lamivudine. Now, this is where it gets tricky, if by chance, u fail to take ur drugs regularly or succumb to fraudsters who claim that they can cure HIV hence stopping ur drugs, ur HIV will become resistant to the drUgs u re taking, similar to how malaria is now resistant to chloroquine due to abuse of the drugs, if this happens and I pray that it doesn't, u wld be switched to 2nd line anti HIV drugs which is not only rare and limited to procure but has more side effects. If u fail at that too, then the prognosis is indeed poor as it's safe to say at this point that ur fate is sealed cos the third line drugs are not available in Nigeria and is insanely expensive and not free like the others. Also, apart from the HIV drugs, u need to take septrin daily to ward off some diseases that are linked to AIDS, so it's impt u don't play with that too. Taking my time to tell u this as I'm sure u'll get to know as time goes on. Good luck and God bless. |

stevewale: My bro (@ OP) I hardly comments on thread but I have to do this to sincerelyI almost fell off my Chair laughing at the monstrous embelishment and exaggerations. It is all good sha, anything to make the poster feel ok with himself is ok by me. At poster, Just be strong and re-focus your mind on things that are dear to you. Do things that make you happy. And outside the confines of Nl, please donlt discuss your status with anyone besides the professionals and the people in your support group. If there is any need to tell somebody that is dear to you, make sure you seek proper counselling before telling them. Take your drugs as prescribed and stay the 4ck away from both drug herbalist and miracle Church people, they can get one high on false hopes and kill that person. My mum was a victim of Church Mirqcle Hoax in Christ Embassy healing school scam. |

Please if you have other sexual partners, urge them to go for testing and pls do not think of spreading the virus because it might actually become your death since you could re-infect yourself with a harsher strain of the virus and compound your problem. Remember, ther is no need to blame yourself or anyone for this. It's just a disease and you can LIVE... Finally, bros, LIVE YOUR LIFE[/quote] The first part is the most useful advice I have seen on this thread. Many HIV positive folks embark on a revenge mission. They feel that if someone was wicked enough to give it to them, they have the moral right to infect as many people as possible before they die. The person who recommended a bleeping spree should pls read this. I don't really agree that he shouldn't blame himself. Part of maturity is accepting responsibility and mistakes. If you don't flog yourself for failing, then you aren't ready for a genuine change. He has to tell himself (and us if he can be that truthful) where he got it wrong. Was he part of the conspiracy theorists who felt it was a white man's imagination to limit the black's enjoyment of unlimited sex and irresponsible procreation? Was it a fling at a one-night stand? Part of coming to terms with what is happening to you is accepting that you are responsible for the actions you took and that actions breed consequences. Others have mentioned God. Of course you may have to ask Him to forgive if you contacted the disease thro sexual immorality. He demands your repentance for living your life in open violation of His law 1 Like |

Please OP listen to the doctors on Nairaland and register in a Government hospital for proper treatment. Ignore all the herbalists, babalawos, Imams and Pastors. They have nothing to offer and have npo cure. AIDS no get cure.. Please get all your ex partners tested as well o. Abeg to all the men on Nairaland please use CONDOMS always. I live in England but whenever I am in Naija I always have fun with the ladies on Sanusi Fafunwa and Rewane Road Ikoyi. Last count I am sure I have hammered at least 300 street working women on the Island and I have never caught ordinary Gonorrhoea. I always use extra strong durex ( origo one made in Europe). Also please don't suck or kiss strange women. Just hammer with your CONDOM and all correct. I can't wait to return to Lagos. Please remember AIDS no dey show for face o!!!!! |

maclatunji: I agree that it is not morally right to be hammering these women but it is not illegal and I always pay what they ask which helps them financially. At the end of the day prostitution exists in all societies but I refuse to pay 30,000 Naira for a UK lady when I can smack the same ting in Lagos for 3,000. I always test myself when I return to London twice ( 6 months apart to be double sure ) and in 8 years i have never tested positive for any sexually transmitted disease despite sleeping with over 300 street walkers in Lagos which has a very high HIV prevalence. My point is guys please, please and please use CONDOMS ALWAYS. It works and will protect you. don't risk your life. If you can abstain that is the best but me I no fit. In London my wife is European so going to Naija is my only chance to chop awoof with our own women and rather than waste money toasting UNILAG or YABATECH girls I just head to Sanusi Fafunwa/Rewane Road or Apapa to pick from the array of thick and busty beautiful Naija women on parade. It is immoral but at least i am being truthful and open. Whenever i dey Naija i dey see hundreds of men with brand new cars, official bank, oil company and embassy cars doing the same thing. i just dey advise those of us who too like woman please ALWAYS USE CONDOMS. 4 Likes |

@OP, I knw how feel, I felt worse wen I got my own shocker too. Yea, I'm hiv+ and bliv me, there's rilly smthing spiritual about life. After my diagnosis, I attempted murder severally because I felt so lonely. Yet each attempt alwys prove abortive, in fact the last one I tot wud work made me terribly sick, it was then dat I realized dat suicide is selfishness! My mum was so down dat I regretted my actions; Since then I started living my life once again,I ve not strted any meds yet because I'd like to remain "meds naïve" for as long as i can because once initiated, there is no going bck and it can limit ur opportunity of tryin newer n beta drugs in devpt. But mind you, knw who u tell no matter hw persuasive and re-assuring they may sound! They'll alwys run away later on. Jst live as normal as possible, u may b a long term non progressor and won't b needin treatment in d nxt 10-15yrs. Who knws wot myt hv haPpened by then? Pls dnt get too depressed cuz so many non hiv-related deaths still occur daily while u stil alive. I bliv we all have diff time frames and nobody knws his/her tym so jst enjoy each day dat comes to you. Life is a gift. U can reach me tru dis email (sylco90@hotmail.co.uk) |

So sorry men, its bad news, I know how you feel, I went for the test couple of years ago and almost died before the results came out, i dont know what i would have done if it had read positive, nowadays when things are going bad for me i just go for an hiv test to make myself happy, at least im not positive. But dont panic ok, HIV is not as bad as it used to be, with proper medication you will live a long healthy life better than most HIV negative people just remember to be truthful about your status to your partner so both of you can get the right care and stay clean and healthy. This could also be an opportunity to help others by sharing your experience and rendering voluntary service to people living with HIV etc take care Jesus loves you 1 Like |

@ op You are really a strong man to be able to come to the forum to share what burdens you most. However most of the post here will really help you and others who has the infection to stay alive. This thread will save millions of people who dont know how to handle the situation and those who are to afraid to share with people. There are this other class of people who dont have the infection. If you will be kind and honest enough to share with us on how you contacted the disease it will help and save lot of ignorant people. Honestly I never knew that women are also exposed to the disease while using their saloon until someone said so on this thread. You will save more lives if you can share your story. 1 Like |

[b]Hello pals, yes, i just came back from the clinic after my cd4 count test. This test result is more detailed compared to the previous one posted here. He showed me the test results and explained all the test results but refused to make a copy for me. He said, he has opened a special file for me and all my test and medications ll be filed there for record purposes. First of all, my cd4 count is 481. He said its not too bad and that, administering ART starts from when the cd4 count is 350. He also stated that, i can commence treatment immediately but advised he place me on immune drugs for like 2months and thereafter come for another cd4 count test before the next line of action. He have me two packets of IMMUNACE containing 30 drugs per packet to cover for 2months when i ll visit again for another test. He also gave me one packet of ASTYMIN when i complained of not having appetite to eat since i got the HIV+ results. According to my doctor, the kidney, liver and all other test results are very ok. All doctors and professionals here, i need your expert advise on the result and medications above. About the drugs, i asked him the best time to take them but he said anytime the day that ll be convenient for me. i'm thinking of taking it in the night before going to bed, hope that ll be fine. WAITING FOR RESPONSES PLSSSS........I attached a photoshot of the drugs he gave me.[/b]
