That doesn't mean God is either being partial or mean bro, take it easy. Really heart touching but all is well. God is God, He never change and He will always be God.

ogb5: I dont know of lagos. But in port harcourt, the military hospital is very good. I have had 2 people treated in the past 1year. The drugs are freely supplied by the govt and they are effective.

The other option we looked at was ubth which we heard was also good.

What i can say is that hiv treatment has greatly improved in nigeria. Federal and state owned hospitals generally provide free hiv drugs but you will spend about 5 hours to attend the monthly clinic and collect the monthly drug regimen


I live and work in Portharcourt, the military hospital is supplied drugs by Global fund, USAID and clinton foundation. The Rivers State Government do not give drugs. The donors give, we are still sensitizing the Amaechi Government to take the initiative as many donors are pulling out. Most of the treatment sites like Help of the sick Mkpogu, Comprehensive Hospital Bori and General Hospital Ahoada do not have working CD4 count machines. Presently the State Coordinator for Network of people Living with Aids NEPWAN in the state is bedridden and there is no bed space for her at the comprehensive or even feeder sites.

Dear OP,
Which ever state you settle in, at the centre you will be receiving services, locate support group and identify yourself with one. By joining them you will share best practices and learn from one another.
Goodluck dearie

Try sites that are PEPFAR or APIN supported. Treatments are free and conform to international standards and protocols. Sites like NIMR, LUTH, Gen. Hospital Onikan, and others are much okay and usa govt approved sites in Lagos...
Being a reactive patient is no more big deal. PLWHIV do live normal life and are adequately supported with free care in APIN sites across the country... Good luck.

Hiv/Aids is not curable but it can be well managed and the viral level can be brought to undectable with and effective herbal medication however it is advisable to bring some of your drugs along with you so that you can continue to take it when you are so that the virus will not be resistant to ur drugs

buster: Let me give υ a clue. Try virgin coconut oil. Its proven to be effective. This is my 4th year of testing positive to HIV and av never taken ARV and my CD4 count is increasing. I did a viral load test, and the result is UNDETECTABLE. U should be able to get coconut oil from the herbal market in ur community or better still υ can travel to badagry to buy it. The dosage is simply 5mls morning and night. Use continiously and check ur CD4 test after 6 months. Am sure υ will be amazed. U can reply for more info. If you are still in doubt υ can google coconut oil as a treatment for HIV

Please tell me, is coconout oil Adin Agbon? or what do you mean by virgin coconut oil. Please help me, you can drop me your email. may God bless you

Re: Reliability and Availability Of HIV Treatment In Nigeria by mainlyblessed: 8:42pm On Apr 28, 2013
I posted this on another thread but thought I should send it out more widely maybe someone could learn from my experience and have an HIV/STD free life. I am at a happy place in my life and going to beat this illness!

Interestingly many people are ignorant about the range of feelings one may go through on being diagnosed so I have decided to share my own experience. I got infected about eleven years back. I can precisely say it was on or around 15 February 2002 as that the date of my first intimate experience. Unfortunately, 2 years and a few months later he passed away. He was ill for a few months before passing on but HIV did not initially cross my mind as he was being treated for typhoid. However, as his condition deteriorated, I thought about this but was too scared to voice it or to go for a test. After his death, his mother confided in me and with her support, I was finally able to go for a test. Was I scared and confused? Thoroughly! The test came back positive and I went through counselling and later started treatment. The funny thing was that I never felt angry with him for infecting me and can to that extent say the question of forgiving him did not arise. I guess this was because I loved him and at the time I gave in to him, I was ready to make love with him and was looking forward to spending the rest of my life with him. The main issue was I could not bring myself to forgive ME. I felt I had let myself and all that I represented down. I gave my life to Christ at an early age and had kept myself throughout university and NYSC, so why did I have to be so careless at that mature age. I also hated myself because I was very aware of the risks of unprotected sex but had failed to exercise caution when it came to me and him. A quick trip to the hospital to screen him for stds could have prevented my life from taking the downward spiral it went into. Also I could have insisted on him using condom. We did try initially but with trying to disvirgin me, it kept slipping and bursting so we just let go. I guess I got careless with all the hormones raging through my system and the fact that we were spending an exciting valentine weekend together. I also failed to ask him much about his previous intimate history/ies as we were both "christians" and were planning to spend our lie together. How foolish! It hasn't been easy living with myself but I am gradually learning not to beat myself too much. My advice to anyone who cares to listen is before you take off your pants/boxers, both you and your partner should be screened. I would actually recommend abstinence till marriage because I believe at least in my case if I had kept my pants on, then possibly, during pre-marital intimate health screening, we could have picked this up and then I would have had a choice of dealing with the question whether or not I would have gone ahead and married him (assuming he was still alive at this point and we were still an item). Be faithful to each other, because if this could happen to me, then it can happen to anyone. Have an HIV and STD free life. It could happen to anyone. I pray it is not you. In my case I have learnt to cope with the disease, it is the stigma that has been debilitating. I have been so scarred that I have too scared of embarking on a relationship as I don't know what/how to tell interested suitors. I fear rejection as this has happened twice and I do not want to have my personal information out there only for the guy to develop cold feet. Aside from this, life has been good.
