hello guys

i just discovered that im hiv positive, so i am looking for a hospital where i can get free hiv treatment in riverstate (i heard the government made it free in some hospitals)

does anyone have any idea ? please comment below

Lol, I’ve been positive since 2008, that was second year in University, This is 13 years and I’m far better. All you need a a daily dose of your anti-retroviral… Don’t listen to what most uneducated people are telling you here, once you get to the clinic, you will see people who have been positive for over 40 years and they are old and still taking their pill. Pill is even not bitter at all.
How I saved myself:

1. I didn’t tell any family member because I wasn’t sure of how I will be treated. So no one knows till date.
2. I never told anyone I was dating, I’m undetectable therefore I cannot transmit it to you. What’s the point? So they will discriminate? Sorry I didn’t talk shiiiiiiiiiiiit and they are all good too.

3. I don’t joke with my daily pill. Never!!!!!! I only once had one which made me weak during the day, told the doctor and he changed it.

4. I didn’t tell any friend, so as it stands, the only people that know about my status is either people I met in clinic when going to take my pill or the people I picked pills for.

5. Always go for your 6 months test, it to your own advantage because while checking your vital load, they will also check for STI which negative people don’t do. So you have free testing in the bag. From that year till today, I’ve not had fever or anything due to the tests which is free.

6. Remove fear, it’s totally nothing I swear with my life, you will be amazed.., Getting to the clinic will convince you though. No one is dying of HIV when they stick to their drugs.


You may not follow my pattern but if you have people you love and trust that won’t stereotype, why not? You can tell them. But sadly I don’t trust anyone to be happy with me especially when I knew I was just in 2nd year in university and my parents will blab on how I got to UNI and was positive.For once also, I made my research because I thought I was going to die but YouTube and looking things up saved me too. Knowledge is power, don’t listen to all these street tadpoles here on nairaland, they know nothing and will never know…

Again, live your life, make sure you just take your drugs and once undetectable… you are so good. It’s nothing big bro

The annoying things I encountered:
1. During the early stages of registering with FMC Umuahia and picking my drugs, the nurses at the clinics can be very annoying. The doctors are sweet.

2. Even though we all in the hall are there to take pills, don’t just shout my name from a distance like they calling school kids, they should learn to be discreet but then of course we are all there for the same thing so…. But I never liked it(anyways I used a fake name from the start, a man that directed me told me to do so), but I don’t see the reason why though, no one have asked and the name I used haven’t made any difference.

3. I missed my appointment once and the treatment they dished out to me was not nice. They were so rude. So just don’t miss your appointment.

4. Because I tried to be careful not to let people know, I had to his my drugs, it’s usually 6 small rubber sealed containers, each for 1 month, it can be very annoying sometimes though. I hid in ceilings in my house, I hid everywhere I swear and will always have one bottle ready for myself. I usually transfer the pill into a multivitamin capsule bottle but again I made sure I don’t give anyone. Lol, to be discreet no easy.

5. I travelled a lot do I have to share room with people sometimes even during nysc, so I kept on hiding everything , lol… it’s stressful though

6. I wasted my money buying fruits and all these suggested trash, if I know, I would have just been taking my drugs, stop thinking and I’ll be fine. That’s all you need. Forget all those take vitamins bla bla bla, you will get scared for nothing, I did my research and all I need was my pill that’s all. If you want to take multivitamin that’s ok, but don’t make it a must. It’s not necessary

I thing that’s all, I’ve not fallen sick ever, please make sure you use condoms while having sex to protect the other partner, you won’t want to hear some saying they texted positive because of you, it will be a lot of drama, but once you are undetectable, you are good. I still use condoms on random people because I don’t want infection, but with my relationships, we test for infection and there was no need for condoms and I’m good.


You are good…. Be safe and avoid people saying what they don’t know

It is no death sentence okay. Magic Johnson the popular basketball we had been positive for over 30years and has been doing fine. Cause you don’t read makes you say foolish things you know nothing about.

See testing positive is no live sentence, just as you have done now, locating where you can get treatment is a good start. Soon as you start drugs, adhere to it and you would be fine. You don’t have to worry about what the drug does, modern drugs available now are very efficient and it’s just like taking vitamins. Just drink enough water, at least two liters a day and you would be fine. Don’t worry okay, there are so many people who are positive and have been for 10,20,30years and counting, it’s just like managing high blood pressure.

To tell you how easy it is now, we now have injectable drugs that you can take once in three months and won’t have to bother taking pills again. I might not be positive but I know these cause my bestfriend of over 18years is and has been fine. A cure is very near and [/b]stay positive and happy okay.[b]

You and who is 'staying positive and happy'? undecided

Please feel free to go get HIV because according to you guys, the retrovirals have no side effect...

It's basic medical knowledge that the kidney purifies whatever is ingested...and when the kidney keeps being overworked by purifying daily ingested drugs, it's just normal it will run into problems sooner or later and allow the toxins in these drugs into the bloodstream...and na dis the raggae go turn to blues

I personally know some people who are living in Nigeria with HIV and the honest truth is that it's not funny for them...strict dieting and compliance with drug dosage, all sorts of precautions to be taken before having sex or even conceiving, and a slow but sure decline in normal immune function...small sickness wey on a normal, no suppose disturb you go kpai you sad

Forget what Mainstream stream media brainwashes you with. .these HIV guys are sitting on a time bomb...

Life is already hard enough without having to deal with daily drug intakes and immune supplements...HIV is actually a death sentence....sooner or later

Before and after modifying your post, it still makes no sense.

You will most probably die before the op. Foolish people like you die early. I blame cheap data for your stupidity. Instead of you to encourage the op you are trying to make him get more depressed. slowpoke like you.
