Rashes on my hand and a single one on my head. Is that a sign of HIV.

Can a HIV positive man father a child who would be negative?

Rashes aren't a sign of HIV. You can only confirm if you test.

To your second question, definitely yes. Even the HIV positive woman who carries the child for 9 month can give birth to a negative baby as long as she takes all the precautions.

thanks a lot, the person that gave me the drug said all this, but she insist I take it in the morning which I no maintaining that time at morning will be difficult and prefer night that the side effect of the drugs can make me not to sleep at night .I don't know if its general side effect and my CD4 count and viral load I don't know.

It's preferably taken in the morning because it's been known to disturb sleep. Other than that there's no other problem

You can actually try taking at night for a few days and observe. If it doesn't affect you, then continue.

Hi Guys,

Pls I'll like to how one can make transfer to a third party without revealing my details. Pls its urgent.

I tried quickteller, but though it doesn't display the senders name, it does show the email adress which i dont want.

Is there any totally anonymous means of online transfer?

Thanks in advance.

Peeps are confusing things here. Yes, the burden may be high when one considers the total number of those expected to be infected, which is put at about 3 million. '

However, as a percentage of our population, we are just about 3.0% and such are not even among the first top ten.

Regarding the CNN article, they probably used our official HCT testing numbers which is about 8 million as of 2015 according to NACA. When this is considered with our base population of about 170 million that gives just about 5% testing coverage, so they are actually quite conservative in their estimate

Nigeria is second after SouthAfrica, then India.

Wrong. You confuse prevalence with absolute numbers. In terms of prevalence, there are many countries ahead of us.

This Mr Nweke sef.

Development is beyond road and Las Vegas lights, abeg.

HE should also consider the health sector

EntMirror:
Lol.. you guys still believe this myth?

A tight Friend of mine tested positive last ten years. He went to two different hospitals and the result was same.. he was immediately
placed on meds and this my guy was religiously taking this meds for up to a year. in fact, a week after knowing his status was sickness all through.. The aids symptoms where manifesting in a great manner.. Why hasn't it manifest since?

The mad has lots of side effects, not forgetting that he keep smelling drug drug wherever he go lol. He didn't even know.. I have to tell him.

A year after, he stopped the med. He was healthier when he hasn't discovered his status, immediately he was placed on drugs, all his systems were just unstable.

It's over 9 years now, and this dude is the most healthy looking guy you'll ever see. The marvelling part is, he fears drugs lol and he hardly fail sick.

If the virus exist at all, then it's not harmful. The major cause of death has always been fear.. It's fear that kills aids patients, not HIV.. Once they know their status, they start worrying about death, marriage, lots of things which indirectly depress their immune system.

Because of my friend, I did lots of research and I came to enlightenment. There are even renowned scientist who are yet to believe that shiittt .

Aids is not real.. That cocktail given to aids patients is what kills.

I drop my pen.

shocking display of ignorance. . .

And to believe people actually believe this pack of falsehood judging from the number of likes.

@ALL, PLEASE!!

To all reading this, all posted above is totally FALSE. While the ARVs given may have occasional side effects, some of which maybe very seriosu, in the overwhelming number of cases, the medication have proven to be very useful in preventing the development of AIDS and improving the quality of life. Be guided.

With mastarcard (GTB), the card is rejected, but the the diamond bank card, I can enter the card detials but when a purchase is made, it says "transaction could not been completed".

Which other bank would you recommend?

HIV has always been free, at least in government hospitals. So nothing really new here.

What I believe the paper was referring to is the fact that positive patients can now start treatment irrespective of CD4 count and certain high risk negative persons can take ARVs to prevent them getting infected.

Hi Guys,

How do you people buy stuff from ggogleplay? I was using MasterCard before it was disallowed. someone suggested dollar card, and i used that of my diamond bank but did not go through. I have an urgent purchase to make. any feedback be appreciated. thanks

dokiOloye:
Say d truth and shame d devil.
What d dude said is regrettably true.Nothing much has changed in d villages.
At d rate d present governor is going,d situation will even become worse cos d few roads Sam Egwu and Elechi built in d villages are almost all gone wtout upgrade or replacement.
In terms of rural infrastructure,Elechi tried so much,at least,d unity bridges he built opened up hitherto forgotten places.
As much as d beautification projects this present governor is doing is good,Ebonyi state is regrettably a poor state and that should not be our priority.
Udensi and govt house roundabout have been built,destroyed and rebuilt twice,abi I lie?What greater waste is that?The money used to fuel generators for streetlights in federal highways can change d life of several rural communities in d state.
Why so much attention on cosmetics?
And yes,I am from Ebonyi state and visit often.

Thank you sir.

I made the comment in a previous thread on this issue. That UDensi rounabout and Govt, is becoming almost laughable. Floodlights, waterfountain, discolights, etc, etc, all FOR WHAT IS he trying to build LAs Vegas?? For such a poor state with so many competing priorities??

(BTW I heard some crazy story behind the Udensi roundabout. . . but lets not go there!)

Yes, we all know he's doing an fantastic job in repairing roads and building bridges, and, to be fair, even outside the AI (Afikpo road, Ugwulangu-Okposi, Effium road, Oshiri, etc, are all being renovated). And to his credit, salaries are not being owed.

However there are other areas that need desperate attention. Take the health sector for instance. My job takes me to primary and secondary health centers in the state, and they are in VERY poor shape. Almost everything is donor driven, which should not be.

Interestingly, a state on emergency was declared in the health sector in the early days of his administration, and we were hoping for improvement, but toe years down the line, no tangible improvement.

I know his apologists will say its one by one, but seriously, I do think, with all due respect, that he's not prioritizing properly. Ebonyi has one of the lowest allocation from FG and its IGR is equally low. We cant afford such luxuries as street lights when pregnant women can't receive proper natal care in a so-called general hospital.

Come Umahi, I agree you doing a wonderful job, but I think its time you focus on other aspects besides roads, bridges and street lights.

Take Udensi roundabout, what for goodness sake is he trying to do there?? High power floodlights, water fountain,interlocking tiles, etc. Total waste of scarce funds in my opinion.

How about he focus on the HEALTH SECTOR for INSTANCE. It is IN A SORRY STATE!!!

FALSE!! FALSE!!!! FALSE!!!!!!!!!

Pls everyone should disregard OP's post. IT is largely false.

by the way, has tribune suddenly become one those jobless bloggers? how can such a poorly researched, shitty article be found on their platform? surely they should have a health editor who would have gone through??

Well, for the sake of the less informed:

Firstly, THERE's NO SUCH 'list of BANNED ANTIMALARIAL by EU'. This is simple common sense. why should EU be so interested in a disease that affects less than 1% of their population?? Itz like saying AU bans drug used for cystic fibrosis. And just for the records, EU CANNOT impose such a ban.

The only antimalarial I'm aware of a ban in the UK (not EU) is mefloquine, due to its alleged association with anxiety and neuropsychiatric conditions.

Secondly, It IS true that some of those drugs are being discouraged by WHO, but its due to their widespread use as artesunate monotherapies, which contribute to growing resistance. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH KIDNEY FAILURE PLSSSS!!!!!
http://www.who.int/malaria/areas/treatment/withdrawal_of_oral_artemisinin_based_monotherapies/en/

Its instructive to note that aretsunate is a major component of the ACTs currently approved for malaria treatment. eg coartem, lumaterm, etc. If indeed it were linked to kidney failure, I'm sure we'll all be dead by now.

Halfan though effective is discouraged due to its untoward effect on the heart.

Lastly, there's no 'panic in medical forum', yes, I know that.

Just to reiterate, those drugs listed on OP's post are indeed not encouraged, but its due to risks of increasing resistance due to monotherapy, in the case of aretesunate, or due to heart issues (halfan). Pls nothing like kidney failure here.

thanks

Totally false and rubbish article. Close to 60% of positive persons will not experience those symptoms.

SalamRushdie:
I am sure you are one of those selling it infected Nigerians ...

hush!

SalamRushdie:
Nigeria is a special kind of wicked place ..Nigerian Doctors and pharmacist turned free HIV drugs into business where they expected those who the drugs were donated for to pay upto 45,000 monthly to gain access to the drugs ..Many who couldn't afford to pay the extortionist were left to die ...We always shudder when we hear someone beheaded another for money rituals but in reality 70 percent of Nigerian professionals are also money ritualist

white lies. 45k for ARVs?? when the drug is given free of charge in over 2000 facilities across the country??

see ya lying mouth

Henryfour:
Dave umahi of ebonyi is d worst no road even in his local gv ohaozara

This is sooooo NOT true. In terms of roads, Umahi is arguable one of the best performing gov. I travel a lot, so I know. Moreover he hs commenced grading of Ugwulangu Okposi road. Dont forget his allocation is one of the smallest in the country.

WOW! Going from the responses, Benue state clearly takes the unenviable crown

Ebonyi state University teaching hopital

This is not Ebonyi state teaching hospital. Its federal teaching hosp Abakaliki I (FETHA I) formally FMC. The actual EBSUTH is the one located along the expressway, now known as FETHA II.

OP, luvly pics. You should include pic of Udensi and govt house roundabout, especially at night. ITs truly magnificent.

But Umahi should do something about the health sector ooooooo. Its in a very bad shape

MarieSucre:
Who asked him for his sincerity? Where has Chichi said she wanted a dick or she wanted to be a man sef?
What is wrong you guys and inferiority complex.

MarieSucre:
It most not be all sort of stupid comments then. As our mother used to say "if you have nothing good to say, why not keep shut"

Abeg stop making noise.

I did a google on the prof's name and come up with a number of publications. Quite a prolific guy, I must confess.

However, his claims to have found a CURE for HIV is the problem I have. There is no indication whatsoever from his write up that his drug was able to TOTALLY WIPE OUT HIV FROM AN INFECTED PERSON, which is what a cure should do.

What his drug alleges to do is to reduce the viral load in body - possibly to undetectable levels. NEWSFLASH: All other ARVs currently in circulation do exactly the same thing!! DUH!

BUT THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERED CURES!!!

Is there promise in this his new discovery? Quite possibly. He actually admitted the agent has been used as a drug delivery for other medicines for quite sometime but he is perhaps the first person to use it for HIV.

But his method of disemination is quite unbecoming of someone with his experience

FALSE NEWS!!

what kind of shitty reporting is this?

How did they come about that figure? Even if all those men are actually infected, how can they prove she's indeed the source? Even if we can believe she slept with all 500 men, and even if she's positive, it doesn't mean she infected all of them.

A single act of sex, even unprotected, doesn't guarantee the transmission of the virus, especially when its vaginaal insertive (ie woman to man). For the lady to be that prolific in the distribution of the virus would mean she's either in the primary infection phase (ie she got infected just a few weeks before the sexcapades) or is in advance stage (3 or 4 AIDS) - both scenarios are quite unlikely.

If I didnt know better I would assume it was an attempt to victimize the poor lady. The fact they had to mention she's from the southern part of the country is instructive.
