so how did you get the disease then?
OutharryHIV:
I "accidentally" found out I had HIV in 2015... Worst year of my life.. I know you might be thinking that I'm a promiscuous person but I assure you, I'm very far from that... So this is how it all started?

I did my NYSC in my dad's company and finished in late 2014 and I was given a full year to go read a course I didn't even want. So I instead volunteered for Youth In Action Against HIV and poverty in Tanzania. My dad was furious but my mum understood.

It was 6months filled with lessons, tears, experience and a firsthand witness to the sufferings of others... We tended to the poorest of the poor in rural Tanzania.

I later came down to Borno and later North bank area of Benue state, I realized there were a lot of vulnerable people that are hungry and can't afford even cheap medical care thus they die of common malaria.

I didnt stay long in Borno before I started having this feeling of fatigue and blurry vision, I thought it was cuz of the stress that comes with what I do, so I decided to go home. Few days after getting home I started feeling this head splitting headache, I thought it was malaria/typhoid of which a lab test later confirmed.. Out of curiosity, I told the doctor to run a full check up.. Just to be on a safe side.. Which he did..

You should imagine my surprise when he told me I was HIV positive.. Nothing has ever prepared me for that moment.. It was funny how a malaria treatment could turn to an HIV nightmare.. I thought of just ending my life right then.

But i braced myself and took the drugs, I was surprised that it was free in Nigeria sef.

I rushed home and took my girlfriend to run the test and it turned out that she has it too...
We've been taking the drugs for the past 5years now with an high Cd4 count and a low viral load.. The virus is not detectable in our blood stream anymore and we are happily married and our first twin boys are negative.

If you're out there and you've been in my shoes.. Its not the end of your life.. Life just happens and its not entirely your fault.
I don't smoke, drink or live a reckless life or sleep around, like I've been in only one relationship all my life, so its not about your lifestyle.
I don't know if I got it from the idp camps or my girlfriend(she was the only person I was with at that time), we just didn't care, we moved on.

So lovelies, Take your ARV drugs, take fruits, eat well, within 3-6 months you can still have unprotected sex throughout your life with your partner without infecting them or your children.. You can live your life to the fullest and more.

P.s: HIV patients do not look skinny and dried up.. That's just an archaic stereotype...
It is also not a death sentence.

This are the kind of insensitive and thoughtless people who go about saying or typing things faster than their brains could process the difference between night and day when they see it.

What kind of human boldly writes something as idiotic as "Sickle cell And HIV sufferers are living corpses?"

Such a stupid statement.

What's the truth according to you? If in your wrapped mind HIV persons have themselves to blame, what about those suffering from Sickle Cell disease? Did they chose their parents?
What truth do you have to tell these set of people whose only crime was that their parents probably didn't make the best choices and nature gave them unfavorable genes?

Even men and women who are chaste till marriage will eventually have unprotected sex with themselves. And if one partner becomes unfaithful afterwards, the other is just as prone to STIs as every one having unprotected sex for procreation. People still get infected despite knowing only one sexual partner even in marriage. You see how your narrow outlook and statement accuse even those with the best of behaviors?

Think. Think. Think. Before you write or say anything, THINK. You don't have to say anything Everytime. Silence sometimes is a thin line foolish people cross as soon as they speak.

Peace
the guy really foolish. It's virtually impossible to make foolish people wise. So just leave him to bask in his foolishness

For the sickel cell blame the parrents
for HIV blame your mistake

the truth is bitter but those sickness are semi death we just pray for those with it and avoid it very well to avoid stories that touches the hearth
so someone who has hiv or is sickle celled should not live a normal life because he/she is a living corpse right? Didn't you see the rubbish that foolish guy she quoted said? Or you self follow dumb?

Nice op. HIv is not a death sentence. Currently Dating a Hiv positive Lady. I must tell you, she is an angel and that didn't change our sex life because I'm negative. Her viral load is undetected, she can't infect me as long as she remain undetected. Hiv is not a death sentence, as long they take there drugs and eat healthy. So many people are ignorant about this. They need to be educated. A Hiv positive person is more healthier than the partner you are dating at the moment. Because he or she knows his or her status.

The statement "HIV is not the end of your life " is nothing but scam.

It is the end!

Just like Sickle Cell patients.

They are all living corpse. Let's embrace the truth, enlighten people on the dangers of HIV and stop giving them reasons to have unprotected sexual activities.
Just imagine what someone with a brain typed. So all the people that have died in your family are either hiv of ss? My mom died at 37, she was neither SS nor hiv positive. But a woman in my neighborhood died few months ago at the age of 74yrs and she's SS. Malaria even kills more and faster than hiv and SC.

Like every human, she was shocked and couldn't accept the result but like I said earlier, we chose to put it behind us and move on.
And she didn't blame me.. she knows me and the kind of life I live and what I have been doing..
We dated for 8 years before marriage.

Did you have any sexual encounters in Tanzania when you went to help out with their HIV community programs?

What Ignorance!. HIV is never the end of life...For your information there are worse disease conditions that kills faster than aids. E.g Hepatitis..There has been a rapid improvement in Hiv treatment in the modern world now. Its not even considered as one of the top deadly diseases anymore...
