Bros are you ok? Someone that is living the life and is experiencing the reality is telling you the facts of his life directly, and you are telling him it's a lie because you watched a YouTube video? Have you researched on NGOs that take care of people with HIV in America too?

When you got infected where you charged for the drugs there in America?
I clearly gave him hospitals to call or even do a simple google research, how do homeless people in America get hiv medication? People really don’t think. Those documentaries are used by people to get sponsorships and funding. A little research will help others. If only the world knows how many people are living on Antiretroviral. Why will I lie though…

you are far from thinking I’m bitter, I’m literally helping people financially and other ways too. I’ll leave you to continue to be ignorant, I know what I went though first hand, I won’t want others to pass through that hence the reason I’m disclosing this and also trying to help people. But keep it up though

Prostitutes will do anything for the dough. The "no condom" mantra ain't a general thing.

Sardonicus

There’s a third variant recently discovered in the Netherlands. It’s the most virulent. People infected with it progress to AIDS in less than 2-3 years. Good news is that it responds well to ARVS like the dominant variants.

my spouse obviously have to know, I’m clearly undetectable and have seen couples where one is positive and the other is not. All the person needs to do is to stay undetectable but telling a partner is important. Not telling a partner is a terrible idea because you still have to hide everything. It’s not a risk dating someone while undetectable. The best thing is to disclose it to the person and they choose to either stay or not. That’s why education is important

Exactly!

Magic Johnson said he drove home and told Cookie, his wife about the result. He said she was pregnant with their son, E.J as at then. He also said telling his wife was the hardest thing that he had to do. Fortunately, his wife chose to stay with him. Both the wife and the foetus were tested negative.

I believe all positive people should give their partner the choice to either say or leave. They owe them them that much.

I don't know why ladies are complacent with STIs, they don't just care, why?
Most are foolish, and the feel clean because nothing is showing up, bt on the long run it leads to infertility, which most will later blame on spiritual believes, most are just ignorant, and stupid

And have u do well to inform those 2 flings of ladies u had sex with to go for text aswell ? U no show love at all. Did you how many more of people they will have transmitted the virus too? U did the worst thing by not curbing the spread at the earliest time or saving those 2 girls u had sex with to also start taking there drugs or go for test ASAP.

They gave the virus to him, why should he care about them?

yes he was undetectable and can’t transmit hence his wife and foetus being negative. I’ll always tell my ortner before she we get married. I’ve sometimes wanted to marry someone that is positive as well. That way I won’t have to worry about stigma at all. I don’t want someone telling me in the future how she agreed to marry me even when I know I pose no risk to her….

Abeg abeg I am sure it can be broken down to the understanding of the layman. HIV/AIDS is a public health issue, no reason why the outcome of your research cannot be shared here.

Im not a heath professional, having sec with condom is very important. It’s better not to have it than to have it. It’s just stressful. A person can have a very high CD4 count and still be positive. The thought of knowing that you are positive is mostly the issue, the fear and anxiety as well. But if a person can handle it, start treatment and think less of it. Then the person is good. The way to live the life is in the mind and that pill. Do a research and find out maybe but no one should really be careless on this

Thanks for the feedback and the awareness you're creating. Respect �

stop talking trash..there are things we need to over looked and learns from someone's experience.. i had sex at tender age, not in secondary nor university but at tender Age without condom.
I may also be ignorant though.. Seven years ago, My ex girlfriend I met during school university died of HIV/Aid diseases.

Shit happen bro..

Devastated, worried and I lost weight in just 4 days because I was thinking. Nearly ended my life because I didn’t understand how that happened. I only had sex three times in my life at that time. Once in SS1 with condom and twice the pervious year(first year in school). I felt so stupid, like how can I be positive, how will my life transcend from there and I came from a poor family, the shame it will bring to my family and stuffs. It was a painful experience. I was planning to travel to onitcha from my school in two weeks before I decided to attend that confession in that Catholic parish because I needed someone to talk to, I knew the priest is the only person that can listen because they sit on the other side and just listen to peoples voice and not see who is speaking so it was a nice idea for me to go speak to him. His initial approach saved me. When I said I was positive, the said and so what? Is that all? Wait after confession. It’s nothing to worry about and that’s it. I think that point changed certain things about the way I was thinking about it


Honestly the priest is the game changer here, i believe the spirit lead you to the priest.


It can be scary.

I met a virgin earlier last year and we started dating.
I wouldn’t have sex with her because I don’t trust myself and I wouldn’t want to infect an innocent girl with anything at all but on the way we had sex, and there after she complained of fever, omo i became so nervous and I subtly advised her to visit the hospital, she said no till Xmas when she travel to the villa she will see her family doctor but for the pure love I have for her I have to go run test to make sure we are both safe.

There is this relief you have when your negative, so immediately after the test come this omicron symptoms of a thing, thank God I have known my status I would have died of thinking but rather I went through it all with confidence.

Since then I have sworn never to have sex with any girl either with condom or not aside my tear leather baby, tho I don’t enjoy sex with her yet but is better for me than put myself I a bad situation.. I will rather watch porn and serve myself than risk my health.

Don't tell your siblings of your infection status to save them from immense pain and anguish. It is better you keep it to your self. Your parents will die with huge pain in their heart. You will become like a living dead in their eyes.
