[quote author=futbol77 post=26551464]Something stopped working in me 2 yrs ago when I was tested +ve for HIV. Didn't know d news would hit me that hard but it did, ever since I've not been myself, maybe its my disposition as a person, I don't know. Not been in a relation after that as I immediately ended the one I was into at the moment. Hope talking about this will help me. I ought to be married by now but how am I going to tell someone i want to settle down with that I'm +ve, well someday I hope I'll be able to put the pieces together and be the dream I have for myself, hope the someday will be soon The truth is just have to move on with your life.. 3years ago I was where u are, I thought that was the end of life I even attempted suicide once but thank God am still alive.... But today I am a always happy because I can't just stop counting my blessings..... There are more deadly viruses and sickness out there.. . Be grateful for the gift of life

Have been trying to apply for few days now, but when I tried to register it keeps telling me action not completed and its annoying...Can anyone please me on how to go about it.

pozalive: Monday 10th June 2013 I found out that I am HIV positive just a few months after celebrating my 25th Birthday. I'm dealing with it surprisingly well, probably because I've finally decided to put my diagnoses where it belong and moving on with life till I drop.I had always believe catching it was an impossibility especially with the life I was living, I'm not afraid or feeling sorry for myself but I am disappointed in myself that I was dumb and didn't wise up sooner to know my status even as a one time volunteer peer educator with GHAIN. I have since started ATRIPLA and SEPTRIN because the thing has hit me even though I was never sick in years. I told my best friend who is very supportive and I am warming up to break the news to my family soonest. I have read pretty much about about living with HIV, medications and support groups but decided not to join the one at the health care facility I am using for personal reasons. It is obvious this diagnoses has changed my entire life as a young man......I have since set my goals and I am working toward a more stable CD4 COUNT,suppressed VIRAL LOAD,proper management of side effects as they arise and joining in the fight till we get to ZERO. much love to you all for sharing your stories that have encouraged me in no small way.

Good to know U̶̲̥̅̊ are doing fine dear...The Lord is your strength.

Infomizer: This is a no brainer! I can't believe you're asking. Oh, you want to show that you've got faith? I don't pirry you!

guess u woke up from the wrong side of the bed cos what I wrote has nothing to do with faith...I only wanted to know maybe talking my drugs hasn't break the fasting....And hey this is 2014 I don't need people's pity

Happy New year fellow Nairalander.
Am a christain and I really want to engage in this 100 days RCCG fasting but the issue is am on medication and its compulsory I take it everyday @ 7am...Can anyone here please advice me on what to do and how to go about it.

[quote author=$#EGXY]Na you sabi uf you like believe it or not I don't care[/quote]like seriously u re nt a good liar. So my advice to u is to stop it cos every one knows in celestial church both male and female don't sit together so as a man I am wondering ao u got to the female side not to talk of pressing yansh as u ve said o..

Dhurmynick: This morning i didn't want to go to my church but my mum persuaded me into going to church with her. I gave in to her persuasion. I've been going to celestial for a few times over the years, But today was different. We started at 9a.m today due to what they call ikore (festival) they had numerous ikore today. Then it started, and it wasn't funny we pray, kneel and sing, we were indirectly and involuntarily doing frog jump, then the service got hotter, the prayers were superb then a prophet knelt down and was displaying signs of entering into the spirit, most women were dancing around her, in the blink of an eye the women's quarter scattered and i could see the prophet beating a woman mercilessly... JEEEEESUS. I've heard stories but I've never witnessed it before. This prophet was beating the woman in a manner that even Hercules would cry for her out of pity. This woman held her back and gently walked out of the church even though she is a member. The maliaka followed her outside still beating her. I once heard from my mother that the beating is to torture the badoo spirits out of a person.. Me just sit for back dey watch drama. A particular reason I hate going to celestial is bcoz of the lack of privacy. The maliaka can just drag you out and say things that are supposed to be a secret. I have to admit, I was scared when she was coming my way with the broom, then she dropped it and picked up a thick stick. Then she did 180 degrees and went back.. the service was one of the best I've had. Have you had any similar experience.

I guess u re mistaken celestial with another white garment church...Cos if there's a message for u in CCC it will only be deliver to u @ d Mercy land(ile anu) not in the presence of the whole congregation...And about the woman dancing ard some1 in spirit, my dear u didn't write it d way u saw it...

[quote author=soul_glo]This is alarming coming from a doctor. There is technically no cure for cancer because after it strikes once there is a chance of it coming back. To say though that every single one of your cancer patients have died even with early detection in the last three years is really a lack of care for the patients. People live decades after cancer if caught early and properly treated. Some cancers are obviously tougher to find early and some are just more aggressive but I would be skeptical of a Doctor who says that every patient he has treated in the last three years has died even with stage 1 detection. Maybe you meant to write something else because I am seriously concerned . Are you an Oncologist?[/quote]I think
you got him wrong, he never said his cancer patients...he was only talking generally abt cancer patients

[quote. author=NaijaDoWell]Congratz everyone! I am proud to know dat people are begining to come out and understand the issues. We from the Civil Societies (NGO) we hv dis challenge of convincing ppl to go for testing. Even simple test to prevent breast cancer, ppl find it difficult. They wuld rather say 'its not my portion'!
Thank God our effort at enlightening d public is yielding good fruit. I would like to hav volunteers who can publicly speak at forum about their status. Interested persons can reach me on bigboy2real-at -yahoo-dotcom.
Note dat we enlighenghten people on all medical and social conditions! Its a free service to humanity. Its fun!
STAY HEALTHY![/quote]I will love to do that @ least to let people know they can still ve a better life even their status especially the youth

cyty: Wow, i really dnt know What to say buh im really touched. Your story is close to mine.
I ws pursuing a job in lagos just cos my fiance stays in Lag so for me to join him,ds ws early ds year while in ibadan. In d process, i ws asked to bring My medical report. Went to an hospital and told d doctor i wanted a medical report. At dat point- i braved up and told mysef i wanted to know My HIV status. I ws asked to come d next day. D next day, i went back to d hospital and d doc told m i ws positive. I ws shocked. i left d hospital trecking a long distance not knowing wat i wud do next. Immediately, i caalled My fiance and told him. I really did broke down. I ws shocked/confused.i wondered Where i got it from. After speaking with him,he asked me to come meet him in lagos. Iwent to lagos to meet wiv him and we both wen to two diff hospitals to get tested- i tested positive,he tested negative. Dere and den i told him to move on with his life. Crying bitterly and wonderg Where i must have contacted it frm. And he said NO! We were going thru dis togeda. That same nyt, he made Love to m. Telling m i ws gong no Where. I just felt he wud leave m sooner or ltr cos i cudnt blv it. I left lagos for ibadan with d tot dat it ws over btw US buh im tεlling you, we are still togeda.
After reading thru ds trend ystday, i called him and told him i wanted to go for aanoda test since iv havent started any medication. He said No, i i shud wait till we are togeda. Although, im not feeling anythg within m buh i just feel i shud start taking drugs.
What do you think?

Sweet@ am happy U̶̲̥̅̊ have a man beside U̶̲̥̅̊ who is ready to go through dis journey with U̶̲̥̅̊...But plssssss I will advice u start medication soonest, just go back to the hospital and do the necessary test, know ur CD4 count and do the viral load test...its well with U̶̲̥̅̊ dear....

cyty: SEPTRIN. Does it work for Hiv patients?

The septrin I was given @ d clinic is different from the normal septrin, its bigger and of a different shape...So I guess its kind of different from d normal septrin...

jacjac: My wife has been tested positive few yrs after our marriage. She wasn't +ve before the marriage and our child then wasn't +ve and myself till today(infact just last week i tested myself again) is not positive, how and where she got the virus remains a mystery to me. I cried as I've never cried in my life during that period, (i wish i can erase those days from my memory) even till today, remembering her status saddens my heart but she is still my wife and I still love her and can't leave her. She have given birth to 2 kids after then and they are both negative and very healthy(that's my consolation). She takes her medication every single day since then and doesn't miss her appointment in hospital. Am still praying God that one day she will be okay. Since then I've not been enjoying se.x with her because i use protection+trauma/fear. We use a method her doctors advised us for conception.

Wow! She's very lucky to have a very caring and understanding husband like U̶̲̥̅̊....Most men would have abandoned her long time ago but U̶̲̥̅̊ stick to ur 2ru sickness and pain promises, May God bless U̶̲̥̅̊ and give more strength than she ever needed..

KnightsTemplar: Hi read your post on your other tread, you are indeed handling your status well. My question is this, not trying to be invasive though, u said the nature of your ex's job, pre exposes him to probable infection, hence the need for a regular 6 months Tests, now is it possible that the virus is dormant in his body, unable to be detected, but still has the propensity of infecting another person....hope u r doing OK.

Don't get me wrong dear I am nt saying d nature of his job do expose him to the virus, he works with a milling company in the east so they do ve dem do their routine check-up every 6months or sometimes 8months to know if they are physically fit.....

Willdidi: I remember back in camp wen d test was being done 4 free, a lot of ppl took d opportunity to get tested but a much more higher percentage said der prefer not to know dier status, dis r educated n enlighten ppl who knew about dis virus. But decided not to know dier status, u know d funny tin my girlfrnd den who is now my wife called me den to go 4 d test cos we both hav been dating 4 close to 4yrs den, she went 4 d test n came out negetive of course dat gave me d courage to go 4 mine which came out dsame, I felt better after knowing my status, if she had been positive I didn't need a test anymore cause I know my own result too (u know wat I mean). Knowledge is power. The greatest fear of all is d fear of the unknown

If she had tested positive den doesn't mean U̶̲̥̅̊ too will be positive, cos am living witness to that, I and my ex had been dating for over 2yrs before I went for test but he use to do his own test like every 6months due to the nature of his job and its always comes back negative, but @ d orientation camp last year I decided to know my own status and lo and behold it came back +ve he didn't believe it cos he too just got tested a week before dat time nd he was -ve, after the camp we both went to 3 different hospital mine was also +ve and his -ve..He has done d test again after 3 nd 6months they both came out negative....

ak47yong: ,

that really shows how shallow minded U̶̲̥̅̊ re....What if its happens to 1 of ur immediate family? U̶̲̥̅̊ re going to reject the fellow? Woow! Ao will ur feel if u happens to be in dat position and people reject u?

[quote author=Mz~naett]Fenkz 4putn dx topic on fb...pls 'm losn weight nd 'm scared 2go 4test....wat shud i do?[/quote]Sweet@ U̶̲̥̅̊ don't need to be scared, ur loosing weight might nt even have anything to do with HIV, but at the same time its very important for u to know ur status so that U̶̲̥̅̊ will know the next thing to do...Common dear overcome the fear and know ur status...cheers

telim: really sacred didn't know some members of nairaland are hiv carriers. Is time i visit a good hospital for hiv test.

Yes its better U̶̲̥̅̊ go check urself cos those that know of their status are better than U̶̲̥̅̊,@ least they no where they belong and what's next for them to do.

icebeatz: Hop3 u dont mind me asking but how do u get your drugs...... my colleague is hiv positive and im d only one he told. He discocered this year though. But when his cd4 runs down, how will he get drugs??

just tell ur colleague to go to any government owned hospital the drugs are free and the staff are always friendly set of people...

ogugua88: I think with time and mental healing, some will come to that realization. Since some find it hard to open up, people should reach out to them. This thread is a great start.

Yep, wish people can come to just say ao dey feel and share their experience with other especially youths...

ogugua88: It's not that easy. It's like how victims of molestation keep quiet. It's a psychological issue. Their lives are forever changed, and finding a support group is difficult. We can say that if we're in such a situation, we'd boldly come out and make announcements, but the truth is that a lot of people won't.

Yes I understand what u re talking about cos I am in other +ve people shoes and know its nt just easy saying it even to our immediate family...But the truth is we still have life and a long way to go after been diagnosed...Positive people still have the hope for life which most cancer patients don't have.

ogugua88: Stigma and discrimination. They often are shunned by family, friends, and even communities. One would wish more people are open.

Yes I no HIV+ people are always scared of the stigma nd rejection they face from people but den that doesn't stop them from giving HIV a face....And sometimes talking and sharing our experience on a faceless forum like dis is nt a bad idea..Nobody pray to be infected but if it happens den we need to pick up our lives nd accept fate...

@ applelady....Am happy U̶̲̥̅̊ re strong and rocking ur life dear....HIV is just a name so it doesn't ve to stop U̶̲̥̅̊ from having all d fun in life...Though its nt easy taking drugs everyday but am so use to it now and I see it as my day to day activity...

I wonder y must people decided to keep quite about their HIV status...Most people are positive and are dying silently, they have forgotten something Saying their minds and ao they feel can make them get better emotional...Am positive to HIV on septrin already and doing fine....
