South African Man Living With HIV For 19 Years Tells His Story by HeWrites(m): 3:24am On Feb 01, 2018 |
A young South African man and a Twitter user identified as Lihle (@JuniorLihle2), has taken to the social networking platform and bravely revealed that he has been living with HIV for 19 years. Lihle, who made the shocking revelation about his status in a Twitter thread on January 24, titled his thread: “The story of my life. Been HIV (positive) for 19 years. Here is how I found out.” According to the young man, when he was five, he started wondering why he was taking medication every day. His dad couldn’t immediately give him an answer. He later asked Lihle, “Have you ever heard of HIV?” Lihle responded, “Yes, you die when you have it.” He asked his mother the same question when he was a little older. Lihle further explained that his status remained a secret in the family. In fact, only he and his parents knew about it. However, he said he felt safe to let everyone know about his status now that he has finished high school. Narrating further, he wrote; “Luckily my mom she’s the nurse . She then set me down and told me I’m HIV positive and she tried to explain that it’s not the end of the world ,but I was far with away with my thoughts. Did not hear a word that time . “Time went by. It was a secret for the three of us in the family. No one knew even now. Since now that i have finished my high school and that i understand it better, I feel safe to let everyone know about my status. HIV doesn’t define who you are.” https://torimill.com/2018/02/brave-young-guy-who-has-been-happily-living-with-hiv-for-19-years-shares-his-story.html 3 Likes 1 Share

Papanwamaikpe: I honestly think that's a very rude and unfair thing to say. sincerely talk is really cheap but the consequences far outweigh what your strength can carry. 82 Likes 2 Shares |

Warning to all the skin-divers. Over 3 million Nigerians have HIV (UNAIDS 2016) If you count, you would see ALL those you meet in school - Primary, Secondary, and University are not close to that number. It simply means they are many and among us. Reduce the number of partners you have...condomize! If a girl / guy says "I prefer no condom" it implies he/she has already tasted how sweet Skin-to-Skin is. FLEE!!!! 13 Likes |

Papanwamaikpe: Death comes in different ways. Just because he has HIV doesn't mean he will die before you. Check how many of you relatives have died within the 19years and probably they didn't have HIV. Dont wish him that because you might die before him even if you dont have HIV 27 Likes |

Ignorance kills people faster than HIV/AIDS. HIV is completely reversible and totally curable but millions of people don't know this and they end up either dying or living a life of taking cocktails of medication daily. 3 Likes |
