4 actually. You forgot to mention the men they can control. That's a loose canon.

Divaan:
He should confirm it is not an hiv PEP(prophylaxis) drug before reaching his conclusion. LTD-M is mostly given as a PEP drug

habsydiamond:

vickydevoka:

How

chinemezeq:
tell those who said he has to go for test, as if they don't know that he has HIV too

usedcardealerph:


I really don't know much about it as it's there personal issue. And what I said up there is all I know. She discovered she was hiv positive when she was pregnant for the first child. And according to the husband he was scared it'll affect the child but it didn't after proper care was taken on the child. The boy is 7yrs nw and he's healthy and hiv negative. Don't knw how but God did.


And what do u mean by if the husband didn't get it up till now then he'll never get it again....are u a doctor??

VeryWickedSimp:
Its called true love.
Now they are both positive.

TinubuDeDrugLor:
There is love in sharing

Starcrest1:


I work in the med lab.... Well sometimes we have false negative or false positive. False negative might be dangerous because no further tests are done. But false positives can easily be rectified because further confirmatory tests are done.

What I meant if she's on ART regularly, the chances of her transmitting it to her husband or child is zero because the virus will be reduced to the level where it can't be detected in her blood anymore only in reservoir tissues.

Comments on this post makes me realise that nIgerians don't know much about HIV.
There are many couples -one is positive,the other remains negative
They have unprotected sex and have negative children.
They are called "sero-discordant couples"

People who are compliant with their medications usually have high CD4+ count and undetectable viral load,hence they can't transmit the virus through sex .
They are healthy looking and go about their normal businesses.

Pregnant women,like other positive people,take the medications.
There is a special programme in Nigeria called PMTCT(Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission) and it's very active.
The New Born babies of HIV positive women are given medications for a while, usually syrups.
They turn out negative.

HIV is not a death sentence.
Lack of information and education still causing stigmatization and unnecessary panic in this age and time.

LKO:


Does this information also applies to a man who is positive and on treatment?

Sanmel:
I would have said it's a lie but I've seen it happen where I worked before..
This one was around 7 years in marriage and the woman came to deliver her 3rd child..

I've always seen cases of men hiding it which I think is more common, but for women, it was the first time. Mehn! I was astonished..

spiceadole:


He may likely not be infected
His wife has been on medications.
Her viral load will most likely be undetectable.
Hence,she can't transmit the virus through sex

chinemezeq:
but through what. Guy, u are educated, don't talk as if not educated, once u have HIV, u are a carrier no matter any medication, there's no more other way to have HIV contracted than sex and other blood transfusion, HIV is one of de STDs

Starcrest1:


Oga you are the one writing like the uneducated person here. You don't even want to read and learn. Ignorance is a disease shaa......

segunpraiz:
By the way the man should test HIV positive by now because it is just not possible to have touched her since. If so just manage her like that as the two of you is now positive.

VeryWickedSimp:
Now they are both positive.

flokii:
The wife was taking her drugs so she won't die but isn't bothered that the man she is living with is exposed to the virus.

meobizy:
My nd44. The troll is building up for a month-long ban.

Replying you is being complicit in derailing. Your ban is coming soon.

You are the one who needs education.
You have little information about HIV.
You need to be updated and enlightened.

In my position as a medical doctor who has worked across 3 continents,managing people living with HIV on regular basis,I think I'm educated enough.


Many couples are like that
Husband positive..Wife negative
Wife Positive..Husband Negative..
They are called Sero-discordant couples.
Children born to HIV positive women..Negative ,thanks to the PMTCT (Prevention of Mother To child Transmission) programme which is active all over the world including Nigeria.

Undetectable= Untransmissable
HIV is not a death sentence

chinemezeq:
clapping

spiceadole:

Thank you. Meanwhile,I'm a lady..not a guy. Cheerio!

spiceadole:


From experience as a doctor,women hide it more than men, for obvious reasons.
It's easier to convince a male patient to inform his wife about his status..not so for females
An HIV positive woman will keep her drugs in the kitchen where the man hardly enters.She goes there and takes it at the appropriate time.. usually early mornings.
She will collect medications for her expectant baby and be giving the child right under husband's nose,he will think it's just children's multivitamin

If you don't mind me chipping in, PEP is post-exposure prophylaxis. It is medication that should be given as soon as possible after possible accidental exposure to HIV or indeed any HIV exposure. For example, unprotected sex or needle prick in a healthcare worker, etc. It is still effective if taken up to 72 hours after exposure but the earlier it is taken, the more effective at preventing infection.

TLD is a combination therapy containing three antiretroviral (ARV) drugs to treat HIV. It is the current drug that replaced older TLE. It can be used prophylactically but the quantity in the container the guy found suggests that it is for HIV treatment. Typically taken once a day. Unless she is working secretly as a prostitute and needs to constantly have PEP available.

TLD is just an acronym made from choosing the first letter of each drug. This single tab makes taking the drug daily easier.

For some reason, in sexual health, gay people are the most enlightened about PEP. They meet a random guy in a gay bar and have a romp till Sunday morning. They go to work normally on Monday Morning, leave work early and turn up just before end of working day in sexual healthcare centre. They tell you exactly how many hours ago they had unprotect gay sex and want PEP. They ensure that their exposure was less than 70 hours, certainly under 72 hours earlier. Simple. I wish most heterosexual people were as enlightened. PEP costs hundreds of pounds per person. Health service bears the cost.

The lady should have told the hubby, monitor her viral load together and jointly decide when to use or not use protection during intercourse.

HIV diagnosis is not a death sentence anymore.

Thanks for the insight. Appreciated.
