Mr Skook, quite understand the way u feel but I am afraid I'm going to have to be hard on you, quit whining like an effing byatch and take life headlong!!! The days when being HIV+ sounded the death knell for anybody are long gone. Bro, conduct your research and you'll be shocked to find out that there are still more people dying from malaria than from AIDS. People have HIV and still leave fulfilled and fun filled lives. I personally am friends with a couple who got married after they both discovered they were HIV+. They have two kids now and both kids are negative. Their story was on NEWSLINE so I'm not just cooking this up. There are numerous ways of managing the virus and also preventing mother to child transmission so get this suicidal stuff out of your head and get a life for yourself and for your girl. Never forget that life has never been fair to anyone, u go out and u get it!!!

Besides coleslove,the above is the only other response that fits this guy.
I don't know anyone in this life who receives a sad news from a doctor and his first instinct to come unto a site and seek sympathy from total strangers.
Many people live with HIV and it's no joke my friend.
Your dream may just come true.
I hope then,you'll be able to handle it.

@Forum
 joke or real, fact or fiction - a well reasoned and thought out advice is never wasted.
For all anybody knows somebody somewhere out there could actually be in such a situation (i mean - true life) and by some stroke of luck or divine making this person (victim) could happen upon this site or topic and befor you know it , he's applying these genuine suggestions.

@poster
if you u real, sorry man. Take heart and think straight. Remember u ain't dead until u'er dead. Follow the advice giving and see if u could still dialogue with your girl to accertain the "original contact source". It may even be from where u least expect or suspect and if so, others (around) need to be warned to be weary of that source.

But if u'er fake or simple fronting for someone (a true victim), then listen good these advices.
know why??? , course u may need them someday Grin

Hi what's done is done-What has happened has happened.But please don't be mean like some people and try to spread it to people without their knowledge.Try and adopt a positve attitude before your mind will kill u and start takin Antiretroviral drugs-They are even free in most hospitals.Everthing happens for a reason and it is how we face it that matters.
   You could also try visiting Iris foundation in Ogba -I heard they hav very good Herbal therapies for the virus.
  Oh and please if u do the test and it turns out positive do your girlfriend the favour of telling her and asking her to do the test herself too.
  Sh**t happens!

How are you sure u got it from your girlfriend. You said you are sure you got it from her,- maybe because you knew she sleeps around. If that is the case, why did you continue having sex with her. I guess you thought you could never catch the virus or maybe the girl was just too 'sweet' to do without.

Let us be frank with ourselves, killing yourself will not solve your problems, but will only add to it. Suicide is a sin in the sight of God, so by killing yourself you have two major issues to sought out with God- killing yourself and pre-marital sex.

If you did not know, pre-marital sex is a sin on its own (I am not saying married people cannot also get the virus). You got the virus through pre-marital sex and now you want to kill yourself-------------------- i fear for you oooo.

If you love yourself just go for the necessary treatments and ask God for forgiveness. With the drugs you can have healthy children and you don't need to spread the virus, because that will be bad of you.

Oh boy, welcome to my world as a hiv poz male. I know what you are going through but brace yourself for there is hope, You just have to do your research very well and get ready to move on. HIV positive people have longer term progressors, i.e people that survive for long time without even medication till death paths them. Another group is for people who will be on medication the rest of their life. the final group is for people who at some point after being positive, their body can no longer fight the virus themselves so they will start medication.

You mentioned you can't have kids but there is always hope, you adopt kids, you can do sperm washing, and just so before you blame your girl friend, she may be hiv negative. Sex is not the only way to get hiv and having your own clipper is not the only way to be safe either.

I was a virgin when i tested positive and that was out of HIV awareness. I wasnt having sex at that time so don't blame the poor girl yet. You maybe ashamed of yourself to find out that she has no virus at all and she will be the one to leave you and run and you can't stop her. So keep calm and inform her to get tested.

Finally, if you need emotional support, please visit www.thebody.com a comprehensive resourse for hivers to live and learn. To God be the glory

A forum is where you can post a thread to receive diffrent opinion /knowledge /advise from others. NOT TO BE CONFUSE  with the definition of chartroom.

Real or fiction the reason we are here is to chime in on a thread an contribute our 2 cent to help others.

@ OP (Original poster)

I strongly believe if you take hunger out of poverty, then the problem is  half solved.  Gentleman, acknowledging your problem is the first step showing how mentally strong you are! I comend your coming out on this to a forum where others should be reminded that it's a dog-eat-dog world (in term of unsafe sex) out there. The very next step you should do is get your girlfriend tested and get counselling immediately.

You can still live a great life to contributing to the awareness of HIV+ by reching out to people(like you did here) and live your dream too. For what is what,  You should seek God, from this day on.

I wish you well and good luck.

@ nairaland

Say yes to faithful marriage, NO TO AIDS!!!

BEWARE, BE SMART and BE CAREFUL.

i had the impression that the poster's story was fake when i saw the topic but just decided to read it anyway. now i'm scared,  i knew all along that hiv isnt from sex alone, but really, it's something i never think about. after reading all the posts i'm really thinking about hiv,

it's very possible that the poster just wanted to give us something to talk about. but i think the advice in the replies would help other people.

@poster

I'm not God to know if u are lying or not but all I want to say is this: don't kill yourself. I have alot of friends living with the virus and they are healthy. Its just a virus! if u can control it, there is no problem. Magic Johnson have been living with it for over 12-13yrs and the guy looks like a horse, so strong and fine. And who told u u can't have kids?if u get married to someone positive like u, and she gets pregnant, the doctors will give her some injections and drugs that will protect the child from the virus and when she delivers the child will be negative. so u can get married and live your normal life. and do u know what? the drugs are now absolutely free of charge. without a kobo! just mail me at lets talk better. B4 i forget, don't hate or kill your girl, u don't know how she got it herself.

Phewww!!!
Now i m confused. If i say words of encouragement and its a joke, i'll feel stupid. And if i don't, i'll feel bad
But as for joining nairaland after hearing the sad news, aren't u guys thinking that he must be an old nairaland member that is ashamed of his status so he decided to register all over again to get encouragement from us? He might just be a popular nairalander and just can't face the embarassment. Think about it guys Undecided

sorry bro, it's not easy living with this virus, the emotional trauma been induced is something that no one, except the infected person can understand. i want to say that every critic should shut their trash, because not everyone have the courage to go for hiv test not to talk of make it public. take it or leave it any body that have not conducted the hiv test is a potential carrier, so don't criticise so much, you may be living with it without knowing you have it. guy, take heart i want to assure you that with right information you can get cured. and may i say once again to all you harsh guys, shut up!!!!!!! if don't have a better advise, whether the topic is authentic or not it is educative, and others can learn from it.!!!!!!!!!!

whether he is lying or not, he came here for advice and encouragement the best is to give it to him or stay off Angry. if  he is

lying

then its left for him  because he does not know its a curse he is putting on himself. but why would a person want to

claim to be a hiv patient  Shocked. as for those saying he just got the news

and decide to share it with strangers than close friends or family. i am not surprised by the statement, i don't think you

people ever took any psychology course.

sometimes when an individual receives a news that might be threating or bad, such person most times would be

skeptical

about breaking it to family or friends because he/she is afraid what the reaction of family and friends would be.

sometimes the individual would prefer to share it with strangers who do not know them because they feel its safe, and cannot be

used against them, this often helps them decide whether to tell close ones yet through the reaction of strangers. this

does not make them stupid its just a psychological process certain people undergo. please do us all a favor go learn a

bit of psychology.

@ wham

Why not give the guy a chance to seek for solution to his problem. Whether it is fale or not, you have no business with that. He needs help and i'm sure he'll get it.

You don't know why he has come here to lay down his problems, maybe he can't confront someone on a one on one contact and thats why he wants to see the views of nairalanders. Why not let him be and give him some advice if you have any.

Problems are meant to be solved and i'll be glad if you can join hands with those willing to seek assistance.

Thanks.

@poster
Just follow the advice you have recieved so far from some nairaland members and please don't do anything stupid.
You still have a life to live and i'll be glad if you can just live it to the fullest and don't even think of spreading the disease.

If this is a joke, it's an expensive one. 'Cos u're professing dome into yr life. On the other hand take 3 other tests at 3 different labs for confirmation. If positive, go for counseling, pray & leave the rest to God. He'll definitely heal u, 'because He's awesome.

Meanwhile, get yr babe to go for her test, so that innocent beings don't get infected by both of u. You've been swearing of murdering yr babe, u might extend it to infecting every girl that comes yr way.

Take heart.


Good one there.

To you guys out there please abstain from premarital sex its not good for you.

Truth or false.My 2cents are u have to stop pointing accusing fingers at your chik. Its natural to want to shift the blame on to someone else but truth is if u are old enough to have sex u should be old enough to knw the consequences and protect yourself against them. So my dear look within u dere lies the blamae.

After accepting that fact u could so a lot of research on the internet on how to live with HIV. u aint the first 2 hv it and it doesnt mean u are dyin 2moro. All the best

I don't apportion blame to anyone, neither you nor the girl.It could be anyone wether or not you play safe.

My candid advice to you is to seek counselling,start on antiritrovirals and if u can only just believe,all things are possible, There's healing in the name that is above all names,just act in faith (after truly repenting and forgiving your girlfriend) and dare to trust God, A testimony must follow.
