I wonder how many NLdas re very fooolish n ignorant ind kind of post, asking how he contracted d virrus, when it is been announced n publicised on daily basis, dat having unprotected sexual intercourse accounts for over 80% transmission in adults u still come here to ask foolish questions, wat do u want the OP to tell U, when u go to sexuality section u see how foolish people can be witha 5min pleasure n risk loosing d rest of dia lifes. I think its worth stating dat transmission 4rm niddle pricks accounts 4 about 0.3% if not less, its very small. So pls be informed, abstenance is d best ! If u can't pls always try 2 use a condom! Life is only a onetime thing, do not wwasit it As regards d post, pls OP, I think u should know health is wealth, dat is d primum inter alia, u should endeavour 2 search for immediate treatment, as if not sddressed ontime, u won't even have another time or strength to come post another topic here. Pls a stich in time saves nine. All d best |

I can understand how you feel,I had an uncle who died a couple of years back cos he refused to go for treatment on time. By the time the virus had ravaged his system it was already late. Your health and life is top priority,please do what is right,a lot of posters have given some very solid suggestions please take heed. I am with you in prayers and please keep us posted. The earlier you get access to drugs the better cos you can still live a normal life. God bless you |

geminien:If you want to come back home with Millions of Dollars in such a predicament you have found yourself then I will say you have made up your mind to die in Asia. Come back home afo anu and get your treatment first. What is wealth without health? Furthermore, people survive not living with their parents and again I know that HIV treatment in NAIJA is still free. |

Nonybb: Ppl always complain that they got HIV infection but they never mention how they got it. Where it is easy gotten? Lessons to be learnt, and stuffs like that. Thats why so many others kept contacting it without learning frm ppl who already have it. Some says its ppl who normal goes to night club, others says its ppl who normal sleep with ashawo. Pls tell us plainly, where did u got ur own pray tell what does it matter how he got it ? if you really want to learn, last time i checked Google is free , honest it is , in fact wait let me check again... yes it is , educate yourself and stop disturbing us with your 'how did u get it' post |

@Poster, It's a tricky situation but not without hope. Good that you are already seeking information, knowledge, they say, is power. There are many things we don't know about your situation there. Are you a student, do you stay there legally or otherwise, can you travel to other countries, are you male, female, have children etc? If you are just a single person, is there anybody (brother/sister/aunt/uncle/good friend) you trust back home who can do some leg work? Like finding out from local government hospital/NGO what help you can get back home. It is best for you to carefully plan your return home. God forbid your health deteriorates unexpectedly, you wanna be with loved ones. Money is not everything. HIV progression is a bit unpredictable. Try to be aware of your CD4 count and be watchful about frequent infections like respiratory infections. YOUR priority now is staying healthy. That means eating and living heathily. A cure may well be found years down the line. The heathier you are for as long as possible the better. Now, here in UK, we make HIV diagnosis sometimes during prenancy booking and just randomly sometmes and the protocol is pretty clear. Not a biggie anymore if protocol is followed. 1 Like |

Why the hell are people asking how the HIV was contacted? How in the world will that help the victim? If you don't want to contact the disease, get tested to make sure you don't already have it and then stop sleeping around if that's what you do (And if you can't control yourself, then always use protection. It's not 100% safe but it will drastically reduce your chances of contacting HIV and other STDs, etc.) Now back to the victim: Regardless of how you contacted the disease, unfortunately your best option is to return to Nigeria. Our country has been labeled as one of the countries with a high case of HIV so a lot of drugs are being circulated (some for free) to help manage the epidemic. You should be able to get your hands on some. Good luck and I can only pray for you! |
Re: I Am HIV Positive And Illegal Immigrant: Advise Please by yuzedo: 9:34pm On Apr 27, 2013 |
I wonder how effective placebo treatment is in the fight against HIV? Cos man, I'd advice you NEVER start medications if you won't consistently take your drugs. Once you relapse on taking your meds, you can be sure shït is gon get fücked up for you bruh! I'm sorry about your condition. But if you won't have access to drugs over the long term, don't ever start. Just work on your immune system or something. I still feel this HIV thingy is man-made and Pharmaceuticals, Corporations, Governments, etc are benefiting and profiting from the scourge. |

Take a deep breath, stay calm. Everything will be okay. I think the best option is for you to come home. If your parents or relatives don't know that you're HIV positive, THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW. It is none of their business. It is YOUR private business. HOWEVER, that means you also have a responsibility to make living with them as safe as possible for everyone involved and that means not engaging in unsafe activities (like sharing personal instruments with them) that could expose them. I know there are some programs to provide anti retroviral drugs to HIV positive people in Nigeria and chances are they are far cheaper here than abroad. Also, the economy in Nigeria is growing so there is a VERY GOOD chance that if you come home now, you will be able to make a little money and this will help you afford the two things you need more than anything else right now: Rent on an apartment to live that is all your own to guarantee your privacy as you deal with your health issues, and Your anti retroviral medication. It is really dangerous for you to continue not taking medication because you are weakening your immune system very fast and severely decreasing your chances for long time survival. Taking your medication CONSISTENTLY is the key to living a healthy happy life with your chronic condition. Also there are advances in HIV treatment happening every day so please have a lot of hope! Recently about three people were "functionally cured" of HIV. What that means (according to the doctors/scientists) is that ALL the HIV virus in their system was eradicated. This was done with EARLY, CONSISTENT combination drug therapy and now these people are living happy fulfilled lives. I am rooting for you and I am sure even if you have family troubles, there are people out there who care about you and are rooting for you not only to survive but thrive, be successful, and most of all be HEALTHY and HAPPY. It might seem scary at the moment, but the truth is Nigeria is better than a lot of places in certain aspects. Even in countries that on the surface might seem more "developed". Also there are a lot of opportunities in Nigeria now that didn't exist before. So, I would say, take the plunge. Come back home, SORT YOUR HEALTH OUT, join a support group - even if it's just on the Internet, and make the best of things, live your life and be happy! Placebos DO NOT work as the whole point of a placebo is to serve as a control to a medication being tested. What you need is consistent, specialised medication designed to fight HIV or help keep it under control. Don't wait too long. The longer you wait the weaker your body will become and the harder it will be for you to recover and live normally. Good luck with everything!! I hope everything works out for you!! Cheers!!

bebe2:. Oh so bebe2 is a healthcare professional, which branch of it? Ideally the govt would want no illegal to get free treatment at all, but from practice you know that's not possible. Though not strictly treatment, we give out PEP packs routinely irrespective of legal status. Afterall illegals can be banging anybody. 1 Like |

I just want to add that the point at which RT begins is important, too early and you risk causing resistance and too early exposure to side effects of the therapy. And too late, the immune system might be too weakened to recover. As for eradicating the virus throgh therapy, the jury is still out. The virus might be sequestered in some organs or blood (even if not replicating), so that's why you cannot donate organs even if "functionally cured".[i][/i] |

bebe2: If you say you did your dissertation on the subject, then il have to agree with you. But it seems kind of weird the NHS would deny an illegal HIV treatment because it does defeat their aim of HIV eradication or containment as they cant guarantee the patient wont spread the disease. Besides I think that's a flagrant violation of human rights and I'm sure if the patients takes the case to the European courts, he/she would win. |
