fsb: Okay so on NL, there are threads for everything including how to secure a visa (not that the idea of eloping is bad altogether)....anyway, I work in that field and I thought it might be a good idea to start an online support group thread dedicated to every nairalander living with HIV.

nissparts: Spacers are only for the rear sensors. None required for the front.
I am currently out of stock for the spacers

nissparts: https://www.nairaland.com/951734/explaining-catalysts-catalyst-codes

nissparts: Most likely your catalysts have been removed and no o2 sensor modification was done.
There's nothing wrong with your sensors

ZIM DRILL:

they need replacing

God'sown:
My brother is hiv positive. He feels tingling on his body. Pls doctor help.

Black002: My dear its never the end of the world, neither is it a Death sentence there are much more worse diseases than the HIV virus, i know how you feel as i myself had been living with it since 2006 and even look healthier than some without the virus ......... dnt forget its jst like every other sickness just take yr drugs and plsssss dnt forget to put it in prayers there's absolutely nothing God cannot do, pls dnt forget to use condoms so you dnt pass it on or get reinfected which could be fatal to your health ....... in all dnt worry u'll be fine.

sylco90: @OP, I knw how feel, I felt worse wen I got my own shocker too. Yea, I'm hiv+ and bliv me, there's rilly smthing spiritual about life. After my diagnosis, I attempted murder severally because I felt so lonely. Yet each attempt alwys prove abortive, in fact the last one I tot wud work made me terribly sick, it was then dat I realized dat suicide is selfishness! My mum was so down dat I regretted my actions;
Since then I started living my life once again,I ve not strted any meds yet because I'd like to remain "meds naïve" for as long as i can because once initiated, there is no going bck and it can limit ur opportunity of tryin newer n beta drugs in devpt.
But mind you, knw who u tell no matter hw persuasive and re-assuring they may sound! They'll alwys run away later on.
Jst live as normal as possible, u may b a long term non progressor and won't b needin treatment in d nxt 10-15yrs. Who knws wot myt hv haPpened by then?
Pls dnt get too depressed cuz so many non hiv-related deaths still occur daily while u stil alive.
I bliv we all have diff time frames and nobody knws his/her tym so jst enjoy each day dat comes to you.
Life is a gift.
U can reach me tru dis email (sylco90@hotmail.co.uk)

applelady:

Hahahahaha, abi oooo? You are not over stepping at all, Ʊ are on †ђξ right track, thanks dear, really touched.

Airforce11: [b]Hello pals, yes, i just came back from the clinic after my cd4 count test. This test result is more detailed compared to the previous one posted here. He showed me the test results and explained all the test results but refused to make a copy for me. He said, he has opened a special file for me and all my test and medications ll be filed there for record purposes.

First of all, my cd4 count is 481. He said its not too bad and that, administering ART starts from when the cd4 count is 350. He also stated that, i can commence treatment immediately but advised he place me on immune drugs for like 2months and thereafter come for another cd4 count test before the next line of action. He have me two packets of IMMUNACE containing 30 drugs per packet to cover for 2months when i ll visit again for another test. He also gave me one packet of ASTYMIN when i complained of not having appetite to eat since i got the HIV+ results.

According to my doctor, the kidney, liver and all other test results are very ok.

All doctors and professionals here, i need your expert advise on the result and medications above. About the drugs, i asked him the best time to take them but he said anytime the day that ll be convenient for me. i'm thinking of taking it in the night before going to bed, hope that ll be fine. WAITING FOR RESPONSES PLSSSS........I attached a photoshot of the drugs he gave me.[/b]

lillaowow: @ OP, you're indeed a life saver.. Went for my HIV test today.....men, it ain't easy....

It came out Negative.
I must commend your courage, God will see you through.
FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN TESTED, PLS GO FOR YOUR TEST.. E no dey show for face

josh4ever: For now, from your test results, you're in top shape apart from the HIV positive result. However, my minor concern is your lymphocyte count which though is within normal range, is on the high side of the normal range. It might infer that your white cells are trying to fight off the infection for now and you might not need any medication. But the condition for starting you on ART is the CD4 count.

Bros, don't go herbal. If they were genuine, do you think people wouldn't on their own recommend them with visible names and addresses? Someone here was saying try herbal that his relation was positive and bla bla bla, the question is this, WHO IS THIS PERSON THAT HAS DONE THIS WONDER? I know many patients who met a very painful end by patronizing the herbal dudes. With ALL due respect to them, I don't believe they have the cure.

Another thing for you bro is to ensure you religiously take your medication.

And LIVE a good healthy life.

lillaowow:

pls, do yu feel any kind of tinglings in your body?

cuteonyii: Bros it is well... you have actually taken the first bold step that leads to survival..knwoledge is power and you have already seek and found one.

I have a close relative who tested Pos+ 2008. His own case was already in the second stage before discovery. then has started taking the drugs and now you wont even know such thing exist in him..very heathy looking..

BUT ADVICE.. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT USE IT AS A WEAPON..

a1solution: as
for me I suspect op is a HiV counsellor just using trick to advice
people or an investigative journalist makin research. may God give you
all good health.

josh4ever: Well, as a staff with one of the federal agencies on HIV, I'd like to ask you a few questions:

Was the test done in a Government health centre? I ask this because we have come to understand that some private hospitals use test kits that are not of the national algorithm and may give false positive results.

Was a confirmatory test carried out or was it just a one time test and declare thingy? I say this because every positive result MUST be confirmed by a different test kit so that we don't give a negative person the trauma of dealing with a false positive result

Having dealt with these issues, assuming its been confirmed that you are truly positive, brother, it's no more the death sentence it used to be. I'd advise you to go to any heart to heart centre for a thorough counseling session which by the way should have been carried out before the test was done by the doctor who requested the test. Also, with regular medication and with a healthy lifestyle, you can outlive many of us here. Many have been living with the virus for more than 15yrs now. Some might pass you on the way and you wouldn't know unless you were told. The key to survival is to eat well, be fussy about your health and most importantly, believe and have the confidence that you can survive this. To avoid stigmatization, you need to keep the information on a need to know basis so as to avoid the stigmatization from uninformed persons. It is your decision to inform your family and if you are married, please take your wife for a counseling and testing session rather than breaking the news directly to her as you may not break the news properly and the results might be dire.
Please if you have other sexual partners, urge them to go for testing and pls do not think of spreading the virus because it might actually become your death since you could re-infect yourself with a harsher strain of the virus and compound your problem.

Remember, ther is no need to blame yourself or anyone for this. It's just a disease and you can LIVE...

Finally, bros, LIVE YOUR LIFE
