LKO: Undetectable means the person will still test positive,but if you check the amount of virus in the blood, that amount will be so very little that it is impossible for them to transmit HIV to someone else. |

passion007: Thanks, can such a person if a man still get married and have unprotected sex and have children that are healthy? My best male friend tested positive last week and he has confided in him. I really need to get enough information to help talk to him to be calm. When should he commence his drugs? I read online that ARV should only be administered when CD4 count is below 300. But the doctor he met at the government hospital has asked him to begin his drug even when he is yet to see the result of the CD4 count he did the very day he tested positive. He was told the result would be ready by his next clinic day which is in two weeks time. |

LKO: Yes his doctor is absolutely right. What you saw on the internet is a very old guideline from when ARVs were expensive and not easily available. These days, treatment is started as soon as diagnosis is made. Regarding your first question, Google U equals U. Once he's undetectable, it becomes impossible to transmit HIV to anyone else. Note that I didn't say the risk is low, rather the risk is zero. It is 100% safe to have condomless sex in that context. 1 Like |

passion007: My friend would finally begin his drugs by Monday, the drugs are 4 in number. TLD, septrin, one to prevent TB and one small tiny one. He was told how and when to take them. The funny part was that he was never sick, he only decided to go for the test at a government hospital and he tested positive. He has never be sick all his life. How possible is it for him to achieve this undectable stage? What are the effect of this drug? Any hope? Thanks. |

LKO: Majority of people will be undetectable within 6 months of starting treatment, so no worries there |

LKO:I'm just seeing this sorry,passion007 already answered your question,I can only add that he tries as much as possible not to miss his drugs in no time he will be undetectable as ARVs used these days are very,effective. You must really love your friend,thanks for supporting him and feel free to send a DM to me anytime. If it makes you feel any better I'm on TLD too and undetectable. Cheers! 1 Like |

Amazinglyqueer: Thanks for the reply. He is my good friend and would be my best man later this year when I would be getting married. He started his medication on Monday. He was given four drugs, TLD, septrin, one tiny tablet and one other one to prevent TB. His next appointment is next week. He has done his CD4 count test but yet to see his result. He was never sick, only decided to take the test and see wahala. How on earth would person take this TLD forever? Oh my God. 4 Likes |

Even if the virus is undetectable, it can develop over time. What is it worth for an infected person to have protected sex? In my opinion, it is the best option to keep your partner or a loved one safe. In the past, I didn't pay enough attention to my health, didn't exercise, didn't eat right, and didn't go to the doctor. Now that I have a wife and kids, I'm starting to take it more seriously. I need to be healthy because I have a lot of responsibility on my shoulders. My wife and I have chosen a clinic that suits us both. Here is her website [url=melbournefunctionalmedicine.com.au/immune-compromisation/hiv]https://melbournefunctionalmedicine.com.au/immune-compromisation/hiv[/url] . We try to get checked every two months and consult with experienced doctors. I believe that good health is a considerable contribution to a happy future for every family. 1 Like |

MaRgRi: Your advice is misleading U equals U... if you're undetectable, you cannot pass on the virus, period. Science has proved this. Keep your doubts to yourself, and don't spread misinformation 1 Like |

Had a fling with one girl 1st of August along the line condom broke and i noticed 20-30 seconds later and pulled out, I replaced the condom and continued. 4 days after I start noticing symptoms of Gonorrhea (was having a yellowish discharge from my penis). Went to the doctor and treated it for 7 good days and it was gone. I flew to another country 14 days after I start to feel a very mild headache That kept on for like 7 days and more, then on the 27th of August I concluded that it’s best I run a HIV test. I choosed the 4th generation AG-AB Evolis method that can detect HIV Antibodies and P24 as early as two weeks after exposure. Test came out Negative after four days being 30th August (today). I am not having any other symptom apart from mild headache which my doctor told me it is dehydration that I should drink 3.7 liters of water daily. I plan to run another 4th generation test after 2 months just to be sure. Please be sure to protect yourself while having sex, very important. The thought of having it almost sent me overboard. 2 Likes |

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers. |
