My Doctor Says I'm HIV Positive by skook: 1:10pm On Sep 23, 2007
The Doctor Said Am Hiv+

I was told by my doctor that am HIV postive on friday, he ran the test 5 times then i knew it wasn't a joke . . .Have not been myself since i received this bad report, am quite sure that i contacted the virus from my girlfriend because i have been faithful to her and she happens to be my first love. Many thoughts have been running through my mind and trust me, am dieing already, the sleepless night and fear of untimely death is killing me gradually . . . . I will make sure that my girlfriend will not go unpurnished. As for me, i will commit suicide and just forget about this life . . .Afterall, the virus can not allow me to have my own kids

Hi, welcome to the forum, and sorry to hear of your news.

Please, don't attack your girlfriend, there are several ways one can contract the virus, both your girlfriend, and yourself, and not always through sexual contact.

Definitely do NOT take your own life, HIV managed effectively does NOT mean an untimely death these days. You can actually remain healthier than myself, or any other HIV- person. What's important right now is you get the proper help and treatment, and keep a check on your CD count.

Has your girlfriend been tested yet? It's important she gets tested if the answer's no, as the above could apply to her as well. Early detection and treatment / control is paramount, you could lead perfectly normal, healthy lives still. It does NOT have to develop into full-blown AIDS. Take care, and stay safe.

Thanks for your encouragement but i think you don't know how it feels since you are not in my condition. As for my gf, am pretty sure i contacted it from her, i have my own clipper, never had blood transfusion so i definately got the virus from her. I developed this strong hatred for her since friday - the day i was told, and i have not even set my eyes on her since then as i have been thinking and dieing gradually. I don't want to see her for now until am done with my plans against her, am sure she will not go scotfree!

i know it might be really hard on you, but its not the end of the world or life. there are a lot of HIV positive patients, but they are still leaving life to the full and doing everything a normal healthy individual does. please try to visit any SACA office in your area. they would be able to give you all the necessary professional advice and help you.

Re: My Doctor Says I'm HIV Positive by Seun(m): 3:31pm On Sep 23, 2007
Why didn't you protect yourself with a simple condom? You have no one to blame but yourself.

As for your girlfriend being the source of the virus, well, she could've been infected before you met. And she does not need any further 'punishment' because being HIV positive is a punishment. Instead of freaking out and making threats, why not ask the doctor about what you can do to prolong your life?

I am sure many of the sympathisers here will die before you - even though u r HIV positive - so dont kill yourself for any reason.

Many of them are infected without even knowing - so u know - so live the dream - dont worry - ok! Pele.
Re: My Doctor Says I'm HIV Positive by youngdigi(m): 3:59pm On Sep 23, 2007
skook, i commend you for your courage of getting tested and being bold enough to mention this in the open, that is a strong thing to do.

however, i don't understand ur reactions towards it, i am so confused, i don' t know how you can take matters to your hands by revenging on ur gf, i mean she might not even know she contracted it , she cud have gotten it in different ways as well, a previous relationship, or even you, as u know HIV is not only contracted via sex, bottom line, taking matters to your hands is the last thing u should do in this situation , and that includes harming ur gf, or COMMITING SUICIDE, goodness how can u even think of that? don't u belive in God? dont u think of what he is trying to use you for in this situation

i will say take some time to sit down and think over these things instead of planning a strategy to attack someone for which u have no right to. God bless.
Re: My Doctor Says I'm HIV Positive by mekoyo(m): 4:00pm On Sep 23, 2007
You don't have to blame yourself or your girlfriend. All you need to do now is to seek for counsel. You have already allowed yourself to be cheated by the devil and i wont adfvice you give all your life by committing suicide, please don't do that. Been HIV positive is not the end of life. There are many ways of contacting this virus as you have already seen from the other posters, why not call your girlfriend and have a heart to heart talk with her. And if truly you have been faithful to her alone then she must have gotten the virus before you started seeing her.
Now the most dreaded thing about this virus is that when one contacts it, it take about two to three months before it can be detected medically. So maybe she had gotten some months before you met her and she didnt know. To the main issue, medically you can still have children even if you are HIV positive, all you need now is to put your head down, be calm, and don't do anything stupid. You are HIV positive yes, but you are not the first so why the thought of committing suicide? You still have a life to live, so many years and i'll love it if you can just live that life for GOD. If you had given your life to him, HE would have been your protector but you allowed the devil take over you.
Accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour and seek counsel. You can also get counsel from this site   www.itbeginswithyou.com

To you guys out there, you think you are faithful to only one person? Then you have to watch it, you have to be careful. Lets just leave this sex of a thing and wait till it is the right time before we all loose our lives and fall into one heartbreak or the other.

Please my dear nairalanders be careful and watch that person you think you are faithful to. The enemy you know is better than the angel you dont know

Happy Sunday to you All.

@skook

damn! so sorry about that news. Listen you are allowed to feel the way u feel right now, if i had that i would plot blue murder too, but i am sure with a few days or week in coming to terms with your predicament, you will have a change of heart, two things you need to remember soon as you are over this shock,
1. let go of the anger
2. live, the mind can kill you before Aids or Hiv can.

what you are doing here is healthy, coming to vent out the anger and pain will help you come to terms with this news, but like someone said when it's your time it's your time, the day u received the news was not your funeral, we will all go one way or another, some even sooner than yourself. DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR SELF TO DEATH WITHOUT A FIGHT.

take care

Re: My Doctor Says I'm HIV Positive by Seun(m): 4:55pm On Sep 23, 2007
I know condoms are not 100% effective, but most people who get infected don't even bother to use it. If his story was, "I used a condom but the condom broke and I got infected" I'd be sympathetic.

Men sorry for the news

but don't take it out on ur chic.she may not even know she has the virus.
Get her tested to confirm then you can start thinkin about getting retroviral drugs. You can still live a great life if you want but please don't kill yourself.

the only snag here is that you must always use a condom and maybe technology can help you get a child in the future.
CHEER UP

Ok, please don't kill yourself. Apparently, we value your life more than you do. So please don't do it!

Congrats for accepting the reports of "Your Doctor"

For the verdict on your girl friend. Just let us know when you're ready or the date. Afterall you or her have already dealt with each other and now you claim you want to MURDER her and commit suicide. As for your suicide i guess i could help with some chemicals if you wish.

Check your story and re-frame please. Make it a lil more pathetic. Stupid post

Re: My Doctor Says I'm HIV Positive by mekaboy(m): 5:32pm On Sep 23, 2007
My Brother,

Life is not measured by duration but by donation. its not how long u lived that maters but what u contributed to life. Secondly your vision could make you live longer. Do you have a vision? is there Something you are living for? Do you believe in the mercy of GOD ? Also Go for counseling.

GOD CARES>>

sucide is NOT THE ANSWER, pls HIV + is not a death sentence, pls stay strong, before u lay blame make sure your girlfriend gets tested, there are lots of drugs/medications used to control this illness, pls consider counselling and i BEG YOU DO NOT TAKE YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!

a monogamous relationship doesnt gurantee safety, always protect yourself.

Re: My Doctor Says I'm HIV Positive by Sweetaura1(f): 7:27pm On Sep 23, 2007
If this is a joke, it's an expensive one. 'Cos u're professing dome into yr life. On the other hand take 3 other tests at 3 different labs for confirmation. If positive, go for counseling, pray & leave the rest to God. He'll definitely heal u, 'cos He's awesome.

Meanwhile, get yr babe to go for her test, so that innocent beings don't get infected by both of u. U've been swearing of murdering yr babe, u might extend it to infecting every girl that comes yr way.

Take heart.
Re: My Doctor Says I'm HIV Positive by tundewoods(m): 8:59pm On Sep 23, 2007
I totally agree with Ralvy and Wham,
This thread topic may be a hoax, fiction by someone messing with our minds.However i've learnt a couple of things from the short brief story that i want to point out.

HIV+ or Not, How many of us here know our status and take sensible precautions to avoid being found in a pair of HIV+ shoes.I can bet on it that it's either 60 or 70 % of folks here know their status.

The fear of uncertainty keeps most of us away from the truths that stare us in the face like mirrors.

Secondly,if this story is indeed true then i blame should not be aportioned to the so called girlfriend,Because i can swear that she ain't even aware of her status so it becomes a vicious cycle that keeps revolving just because we didn't think of precautions before jumping into bed.

Lastly lets not give room to some folks coning us with claims that they got cures for HIV+ by posting gsm no for us to call.If indeed they have HIV cures that work,i bet they would be a lot busier attending to customers,(HIV+ pstients) than posting adverts of their drugs on public forums.
