I ll continue to appreciate all your comments and contributions as they pour in. I have been a fan on Nairaland but did not know that, they are this loving apart from few who always want to make fun out of every situation not minding how it hurts. I purposely registered as a new member just to hide my identity, i love you all and keep them coming. I'm not based in lagos as some people suggested i visit some places over there. However, the hospital i attend here is capable to handle and manage the illness. Besides, the doctor is a very close friend of mine for years and i confide in him. Your expert advises are also needed to complement that of my doctors especially professionals n also those infected and those who want to learn about the disease.

Lady Winona: I'm sorry that you have to go thru this but like someone said earlier, it's really not the end of the world. I'm a doctor and I've worked in HIV clinic for over a year. All I can tell u now, is that there is still no known cure for HIV so pls don't believe people who will come with their herbal mixtures or pastors claiming they can heal everything, cos we've lost a lot of patients that way. I guess the first thing u shld do is to go to a government hospital and register. There, you would be tested for CD4 count, Full blood count, hepatitis B, kidney function test, liver function test, chest x ray and some might want to rule out tuberculosis. If ur CD4 count is above 350cells/ul, u wld be advised to live a healthy lifestyle with protected sex and all since u won't be needing the drugs yet. If however, it is below that, u will be started on the popular first line drugs which are zidovudine, nevirapine and lamivudine. Now, this is where it gets tricky, if by chance, u fail to take ur drugs regularly or succumb to fraudsters who claim that they can cure HIV hence stopping ur drugs, ur HIV will become resistant to the drUgs u re taking, similar to how malaria is now resistant to chloroquine due to abuse of the drugs, if this happens and I pray that it doesn't, u wld be switched to 2nd line anti HIV drugs which is not only rare and limited to procure but has more side effects. If u fail at that too, then the prognosis is indeed poor as it's safe to say at this point that ur fate is sealed cos the third line drugs are not available in Nigeria and is insanely expensive and not free like the others. Also, apart from the HIV drugs, u need to take septrin daily to ward off some diseases that are linked to AIDS, so it's impt u don't play with that too. Taking my time to tell u this as I'm sure u'll get to know as time goes on. Good luck and God bless.
tanx so much 4d information u just gave me. I'm also pleased with all other contributions. I ll stil see my doctor on thursday to conduct a cd4 count test and ll never allow this to weigh me down completely though its not easy. I ll make sure i keep this thread alive by giving details of any development. More contributions plsss....

Chanchit: This scammers never pity people, someone has something weighing him down, instead of you to give him a better advice, you are looking for a way to reap him off with some poison mixture that will help in killing him faster.

Bros' pls don't mind the silly advert o, na so them dey do.

@Op, I see God helping you, pls jst start the treatment ASAP.

@Chanchit, tanx for your contribution. More response please

jhydebaba: I feel you bro. But why did you say you feel like dying? Ur case is even far better than those who have the virus and haven't gone for testing yet.
What to do? Register with any "heart to heart" centre in any government owned hospital and you'll get the anti-retroviral drugs free.
HIV + is not the end of the world as millions are still living their normal life maintaining it. The only difference is that you have to take your drugs religiously as well as do away with alcohol, smoke and other things as adviced by your doctor.
*i pray scientist get the total cure for the virus in this generation.
Tanx very much for the advise. I'm surprise because i have no sign of sickness but just decided to go for the test. Infact, its now that i'm feeling sick but just spoke with my doctor. He tried to allay my fears and confirmed with your suggestion of taking the drugs when i start treatment. Please, more contribution are welcomed

Pls doctors in the house and those who have similar experiences should please advise me on the next step. i went for a comprehensive medical test yesterday (Monday) and was asked to come today for the medical report. i was called in by the doctor and he showed my medical report to me. All other tests are very ok but the HIV screening test is positive. He counselled me aot about the disease and advised i did a confirmatory test. i went to the lab immediately for the confirmatory test and it stil came out positive.

The doctor advised i commence treatment immediately but i have to carry out another test to ascertain my CD4 count before administering treatment. Since after the breaking of the news, i have not gotten myself as i feel i am dying. please, i need some tips on how to manage this disease. SERIOUS CONTRIBUTIONS PLS....
