Yeah. I know. My point is that undetectable viral load doesn't mean the person wouldn't be postive again on testing. I assumed that was what someone ( I think it was you) was trying to infer!

You have said it all at the emboldened that you're HIV positive, no wonder you're consoling your likes while dying a slow death in 2 years now you be dead. You're just a walking corpse

Ignoramuses like you don't know the meaning of the following:

Anti-retroviral...
Viral load...
CD4 count...
PReP...

All your dumb brain can process are rubbish like:

Bet9ja...
E choke...
Pepper dem...
Ment undecided

So as you can see, we are not in the same class of life! I am not HIV Positive to he glory of God because I know my status but can't say same for a demented chicken like you who might be carrying the virus and will not stop at discriminating others who are suspected to even if it is a family member.

Explain

Even if you have unprotected sex with someone that has HIV, there are factors that will determine if you get infected. It is not an automatic something

1. The infectivity of HIV for example is low as compared to hepatitis B virus (hbv) for example. It simply means that if you are exposed to both HIV and hbv, you are more than 50 times likely to contract hbv infection than HIV infection

2. The first few weeks after contracting HIV is the most infectious period. That is the period the virus is replicating very fast. So, if you have unprotected sex with someone who just contracted the virus few weeks ago, you are more likely to get the virus

2. If a person with HIV is compliant on his/her medications such that her viral load is very low or undetectable, such person can't transmit the virus to someone else.

3. If you have other STD like gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis, Chlamydia, etc , it increases your chances of getting HIV, the major reason being that these infections may cause sores in the genital area that may allow the virus to enter the body.

4. Men who are not circumcised are more likely to get hiv.

5. For those that engage in anal sex, the lady is more likely to contract hiv from an HIV infected guy than the guy contracting it from an HIV infected lady.

6. Once you have been exposed, you can take a medication (usually taken for a month) called post exposure prophylaxis that will make you not become infected. The earlier you start the medication, the better. Usually, not later than 72 hours after exposure.

PS: This is for enlightenment only. It should not take the place of consulting a Doctor neither doesn't in any way support unprotected sex or encourage living a sexually reckless life.

Share your experiences..... Have you ever been motivated enough to engage in sexual activities with a known HIV positive person? Or you did not know until it was too late?
As long the person is on regular ART's you are good.And they should check their CD counts regularly.Its not a big deal honestly.To me its safer you know than doing it someone who you were not sure of their status

I met this well endowed lady.,... Those that make your eyes turn Tom and Jerry.... We got together long and short I discovered she was positive.... Late into the night.... I froze spiritually and physically.... My mind was doing Usain Bolt... But I maintained civility....till the next morning when she left...... Hmmmm what a close shave!


After a nice rendezvous she calmly informed me of her status. As that was a requirement under the law in the country. My mind did a million somersaults.... Is she bluffing? Do I find out? Do I call her bluff? And the backside was like a mountain.... My oh my....the trauma was real.... I went out of the room... Consulted with my guys.... Some advised double condoms... Me? Mba! I maintained a civil relationship with her.... She slept over. Second day she left. We maintained good friendship afterwards... HIV infection is not a death sentence. Please let your partners know your status ahead of time. If he or she will stay, they will.

My own us that I meet a girl last month and we are in relationship. Last Sunday after pressing her boobs and fingering, I want to insert my condom and knack her, the girl said, "Do you usually use condom to knack girls? I said Yes, she now said that she will like to have flesh to flesh with me that she doesn't like to feel me with any rubber on my dick". I thought that she's joking but she was damn serious. After trying to change her mind but she refused. I jejelyly wear my boxer and go home. The fear of hiv is the beginning of man's wisdom.

In my life, I’ve had exposures with 2 different HIV ladies (no protection). What saved me was strips in my house after the action, and the post-exposure drugs I took almost immediately.

For the first lady, we were just starting to date, and she didn’t even know her status, until after the first intimacy we had, and when we casually tested in my house that same day with the HIV strips, we found out she was positive. The next day, I started HIV post-exposure prophylaxis for 30 days o, no time. Later, we broke up because she opened up to me that she was seeing another guy, actually. And me sef, my mind no carry her again.

For the second lady, she knew she was positive, but didn’t tell me. One day, we started ‘action’ with protection, but for some reason, we ended up without protection, after which my come clear grin (reason why you should know your partner’s status before you start anything o, whether you wan use condom or not). I then told her ‘let’s do test in my house since I have strips’. She initially refused and said she was scared of needle pricks, but when I got angry, she confessed that she was positive and she only found out 5 months ago, but that she was now on HIV drugs. I thought she was joking o, but after we tested in my house, she was really positive. I weak again. shocked Shuo! Na only me waka come for this HIV matter? But I didn’t freak out, since I was now experienced in such issues. grin I just drove her home to be sure she was on drugs. She showed me the drugs, and I immediately knew those were the same drugs I used for my post-exposure prophylaxis after my first exposure with my ex. Omo, I just asked her for one tablet and swallowed one tablet from her drugs to start my post-exposure prophylaxis right there. wink The next day, I went to hospital to get new supply for the 30-days prophylaxis. Anyways, later on, we reduced our friendship and communication. We are still friends, though. After over six months after the exposure, I am still HIV-negative. That is the end of my story.

Condom is good, but please, test any body you want to start having sex regularly with. And please even try to test them regularly, and hope they are faithful, while you must be faithful too, or at least test whomever you want to do away match with. HIV no dey kill jare. It’s just the stress of taking drugs every day for the rest of your life. And by the way, the first HIV lady got married recently to a HIV-negative man, I believe, because she told me that even HIV-negative guys were asking her out a lot even when they knew she was positive, cos she fine.

Your point is wrong. When you’re undetectable (virus suppressed due to ARV medication) you will test negative if you are tested randomly. It does not mean you are no longer HIV positive. The virus still stays hidden in reservoirs within the human body. If the medication is stopped or adherence (to the ARV regimen) is poor then the virus will rebound within the body and a test will show positive.

Bros na lie. Once you test positive with the HIV strips, you will be positive for life with the test strips which test for antibodies (the antibodies in HIV people remain for life). However, if you do PCR test (which only very few advanced labs do) which checks for the virus itself, it will be undetectable if the person is on HIV drugs. (This “UNDETECTABLE”, is not the same as “negative” o). Once you positive, you are positive FOR LIFE, judging by your antibodies!

You are wrong. Those very widely available rapid test kits test exactly for the presence of HIV antibodies to determine your status. It has been shown statistically that an undetectable person will return a negative result with a rapid test kit.

lol....PCR test will not be done if they do not know the history of the virus in your body....undetectable is used to describe a situation whereby the person with history of HIV is showing negative when tested...it is undetectable In the sense that he or she has the virus but the test keeps saying negative even when the history shows that the virus was in that body...so that is why it says the test is not detecting it...it does not mean it is not present but the viral load is very low and the basic test is not seeing it....that guy you are arguing with is right....you too are also right but your analysis of the "undetectable" is what is wrong...if the HIV patient stop their ART ,trust me after some months if the same person go for the test,the same kit that showed negative before will now show positive.......for now HIV has no total cure medically..but it can be treated medically and the person can live the normal life like the negative people...and even grow older than some negative people as long as they are on ART....

You are the one who is wrong actually.

A person who has an undetectable viral load will still test positive for HIV when tested randomly with antibody testing (which is actually the most common method for testing for HIV)
