I just got home from a dentist , my 2k wasted for consultation and I've been from one hospital to another . I am really depressed I've bad breath caused by excessive drinking but I've been thinking I've hiv but scared to do the test . I am not sick but people insolate me even to my own workers . I only have problem of sleeping and it's almost one year now . I want to run a test on my body but not hiv . Hiv will be the last . PleAse what kind of test can I do to ensure I am still alive apart frm hiv test

I was also scared of the test. In fact, I searched for HIV symptoms on the internet and always compared them with symptoms I get whenever I got sick. I was so convinced I had HIV until last week Tuesday when I woke up in the morning and decided to go to LASUTH for test. I went with one mind, ready to take the news even if I was positive but alas, I was negative.


Fear not. Just go for the test with one mind and free your mind.

Go for the test, if you positive, I will help you, hiv has been cured lots of times from people who listened.

I don't want to start saying what will be done. Do the test if it's positive, sit have and relax I will tell you what to do to get rid of it.

my dear, there is nothing to be scared HIV test, infact early detection will do you alot of good, I be done the test twice. just have a positive mind. for the bad breath, there are few things that can actually cause it like break down of food particles arround ur mouth which can increase the growth of bacteria, tobacco products, poor dental hygiene, dry mouth, mouth infections, some medications, cancersand some metabolic disorders etc, try and know which one you fall into by consulting your Dr. Goodluck.

Op the only time you have mind HIV is before going for the test trust me. I did mine today unknowingly, was weak so when for checkup so my Dr wrote it has RVP or so I didn't even know it was HiV test I woulda tear the paper begin they jodge home. grin

Only for the test to be done and they fill in the form with other things as Protein, Glucose, Hiv, all Negative. I just they look the dr like "u be bad belle na wetin u wan do bdis" lol

Trust me OP do the test, all is well.

yes fear from condom burst . and ive been having problem sleeping . i normally sleep 4am and sometimes when i am lucky i sleep 1am .

lol same thing happened to me, Condom burst too, and she wouldn't stop when i mentioned it, after that day any small issue i started feeling the same, infact it reached a point i told my brothers to take care of my mom, I was already talking like i was going to die. Then the funniest thing happened I fell sick and I had no choice than to take a blood test in the hospital, I didn't get the result of the blood test and i was like if i had HIV they would have informed me, I was happy, then until i read about how sometimes windowed mode can be like 5 months plus. I started panicking again.

One day while at work, I just got frustrated of the whole heavy thinking and all, i took break from work, went to an hospital opposite 4 points on the island, can't remember the name. after taking the test, they told me it would be ready in 30minutes , mehn that 30 minutes was like 4 hours, I strolled to Palms center to kill some time, even bought cigarette on the way because i had stopped smoking, felt since i was going might as well light one for the road.

I came back to hospital, i kept asking the nurse if the result was ready, she kept saying it wasn't i swear my mind was playing tricks on me, because the way she would look at me, it would seem like either she knew something but didn't want to show it, mehn i was panicking, was even beginning to start bargaining with God, next thing i heard.

Mr Okeowo your result is ready, I took the paper and smiled after i got outside the gate, i opened it and it was negative, since that day mehn it's like all those cold and body pain disappeared from me, not like they went away but i wasn't paying attention to them anymore.

Until i read online about the transmission of HIV and from what i got it's really low for a guy to get infected from a lady, especially in scenarios where condoms burst, but hey am not one to play Russian roulette with my dic.k

My advice just go for the test, am sure this might be affecting your work performance because make i no lie, it affected mine as i couldn't focus.

Ciao

HIV or no HIV you will eventually die one day,I don't know what the fuss is all about. Abstain from ladies till you normalize cos from what am seeing,you have compounded your issue into a psychological insomnia.
My suggestion: Since your so scared and you don't wana die,become more veegan,stop drinking away to your grave,make use of immune boosters if that would calm you a lil.
With the way you drinking,am sensing kidney or liver ish and these are worse than HIV.
I know someone who has HIV now for over 20years,if you ain't told you won't know. Funniest part is she's a doctor,and doesn't take ARV's maybe in future,but for now,she dey kampe.
I stay in Abuja for now,if you need someone to talk to,I can be that buddy.

There are many cause of bad breath. Two common ones are:
1. Dehydration: Drink more water. Beer is not water. Juice, coke, sprite, ogogoro is not water. Drink more water.
2. Floss your teeth after brushing them. Hard to say because most Nigerians have no idea what flossing is. Oyibo no tech us that one when they bring us toothpaste and toothbrush. Most food particles hide in between your teeth after meals, In 3 hours, that food particle becomes decayed junk and oozes the bad breath that people perceive near you. No amount of brushing or gargling will remove those particles stuck in between your teeth. N2000 would have bought you a tooth brush, toothpaste and hopefully a dental floss.

If you drink too much, stop today. Alcohol is the most common cause of hepatitis in Nigeria. Hepatitis is the most common cause of liver cancer in Nigeria today. HIV does not cause cancer. Alcohol does. Smoking does. Guaranteed. If scared of HIV test, don't bother. But stop sex or do it safely. I would test if I were you. That way you can start treatment. HIV doesn't kill. But untreated HIV leads to AIDS, and with AIDS, even catarrh will kill you.

Funny enough i started manifesting each and every symptom i saw on Google which almost made me run mad, i started experiencing insomnia. After i came negative i began to sleep and enjoy my life.

The effect of dexacotin,feed fine,super appetite and all those drugs that make you add weight.

You will develop round face and add weight but the effect of the drug is not good at all. It also reduce your immune system.
Re: what Test Can I Do To Ensure I Am Still Alive Apart From HIV Test? by GGirll: 11:55pm On Jan 18, 2017
Firstly, u must pray for God to restore ur sleep naturally. you must stop having unprotected sex n must go for HIV test. u must also for for Tuberculosis test n Typhoid as well. u must think less n eat well. u must drink water regularly n also do cholesterol test. sometimes sleeplessness can be a symptom of some mental disorderliness n i will advise u visit a psychiatric hospital with a family member n a lawyer cos sometimes they can seize u n pump sleeping pills that can keep u docile till wen they are thru wt u, but i pray for u that none of the above mentioned is ur portion in Jesus Name Amen. most times i sleep late so its also not a disease.

Trust me, you are not as scared as me, but did mine last week after a 2 year break, and I was super negative, I am not promiscuous but you never know. Have a deep breathe, pray, then be prepared for the worst! With him medication you can live healthily without spreading the disease to your partner. Overcome your fear, just do it. Prepare your mind for the worst. Nowadays I feel confident going for blood test smiley. Besides if you are circumcised, you have a lower chance getting HIV.

Never did mine since forever, na my fiancée result i dey take giv myself hope oo grin. but i was forced to do it yesterday (d med guys just uproot me go lab and b4 u knw it dem pierce my hand and b4 i knew it, na hiv test we dey watch so! shocked ) and it was negative!

U have two options! At the end u still will have to summon up courage n do the test! One: do a complete test. Two: do the test later if more hiv related symptoms start showing....

Ps. Drinking doesn't cause bad breath exactly
