If it were to be 20 years ago, Op would be thinking of suicide by now. Thank God for civilization and knowledge.

@op, every teaching hospital in Nigeria gives free drugs, go to university of Portharcourt teaching hospital

i did that same test and was tested negative as well.... the symptoms persisted. weeks later, i went for another test and was confirmed positive
well...I did suggest you do it again
Use determine HIV test kit,if it still shows two red lines
Confirm it with either unigold or statpak.

Determine is a name of the commonly used HIV test kit.
It detects HIV even when your immune system is still fighting it...
Just try confirming it with another HIV test kit before you start taking the anti-retroviral drugs

You mean you Bleep your girlfriend without condom and she isn't infected?
How low is your viral load?

Again I said in my write up, Most people rather pick a news from the gutters and run with it than do their research, the only thing I wear condom for is to protect myself against STI, I am undetectable and that means not transmit-able…. A little research can save you from asking an uneducated question

@ bolded


You and who is 'staying positive and happy'? undecided


Oga I am not the Op, neither am I HIV positive

I only just corrected you. Cause from what you told the bolded, you seem like one whom would stigmatize quiet well. And that’s not a nice thing to do. You have google, make use of it. Check on i-base.com , you would get a clearer picture. I learnt so much about HIV cause my bestfriend is positive. He was never promiscuous, he got it from a hospital where he was been treated. He could have sued, but he decided not to. There are many people out there who were unlucky. I have medical doctors who are friends of mine. There was this case of a guy who got HIV via blood transplant. Mistakenly. My friend told me about a lab technician positive friend of his who got it in the lab mistakenly from unsterilized needles that pricked him. It can happen to anyone, not necessarily through sex.

thanks for your encouragement bro. the only person ive told is my mum and she is quite secretive about it.

i got infected 2 months ago while doing my clearance in school... very sad cry
Be happy you knew early and you are now safe. I only knew when I had constant headache for over 8 months, treated and it never disappeared, until I stylishly went for a test. Infact after that, my CD4 count was a little above 500, if I have waited for so long and it was down to 100, that’s when it will show and I’ll become sick and so open to infections. Then slim down and people will know which is where the main discrimination starts. Your fight is to ensure your CD4 count is not less that 300 because you are at risk, if it’s over 300, just ensure it’s above that. That’s where the drugs step in. So you are soooooooooo safe

Make una de use condom o. If one day these western countries decide to stop HIV aid, how will you survive. Don’t depend on the fact that you can manage it. It’s best not to have it in the first place. E no de show for face. Use condom at all times and avoid MouthAction till tests are carried out at a government hospital.

Wetin concern bj with HIV? So you go wear condom to receive head? Continue.

Go to any general hospital nearest to you but if you have the means you can look for any GH not too far because of stigmatisation. It is not a death sentence, once you start taking your drugs as instructed you are all good. Don't miss a day.

Please feel free to go get HIV because according to you guys, the retrovirals have no side effect...

It's basic medical knowledge that the kidney purifies whatever is ingested...and when the kidney keeps being overworked by purifying daily ingested drugs, it's just normal it will run into problems sooner or later and allow the toxins in these drugs into the bloodstream...and na dia the raggae go turn to blues

I personally know some people who are living in Nigeria with HIV and the honest truth is that it's not funny for them...strict dieting and compliance with drug dosage, all sorts of precautions to be taken before having sex or even conceiving, and a slow but sure decline in normal immune function...small sickness wey on a normal, no suppose disturb you go kpai you sad

Forget what Mainstream media brainwashes you with. .these HIV guys are sitting on a time bomb...

Life is already hard enough without having to deal with daily drug intakes and immune supplements...HIV is actually a death sentence....sooner or later

Re: Where Can I Get Free HIV Treatment In Rivers State? by ModelLook(m): 8:05pm On Dec 06, 2021
This reminds me of when I used to sell and administer Natural Regenerative Medicine to patients. One of my patients in the past took Regenerative Medicine and got cured of HIV. He got cured and became HIV Negative.
E shock me o. No be small.

The Second patient I told decided to try it. He took it and discovered that his Viral load was just decreasing everyday with increase in his CD4 Count. After a year, his viral load hit the Zero mark and he became HIV Negative.

The third patient I told had faith and took the same and saw a significant reduction in his constantly high Viral load from 1500 to 400 and a significant rise in his CD4 Count from 300 to 900 all in 6 months.

Right now, when people say HIV cannot be cured, I don't believe becos I have had patients in the past who were cured.

Las Las...no HIV patient will ever announce or testify that he or she was ever cured of HIV (especially with the whole Stigmatization in the world today) so you will NEVER hear of their success story in the news/media.

Natural Regenerative Medicine is the Future of Medicine.

Just wanted to put it out there.

Please nobody should DM me biko. I don't have the energy to start introducing anything to anyone.

God be with you all.

Lol, I’ve been positive since 2008, that was second year in University, This is 13 years and I’m far better. All you need a a daily dose of your anti-retroviral… Don’t listen to what most uneducated people are telling you here, once you get to the clinic, you will see people who have been positive for over 40 years and they are old and still taking their pill. Pill is even not bitter at all.
How I saved myself:

1. I didn’t tell any family member because I wasn’t sure of how I will be treated. So no one knows till date.
2. I never told anyone I was dating, I’m undetectable therefore I cannot transmit it to you. What’s the point? So they will discriminate? Sorry I didn’t talk shiiiiiiiiiiiit and they are all good too.

3. I don’t joke with my daily pill. Never!!!!!! I only once had one which made me weak during the day, told the doctor and he changed it.

4. I didn’t tell any friend, so as it stands, the only people that know about my status is either people I met in clinic when going to take my pill or the people I picked pills for.

5. Always go for your 6 months test, it to your own advantage because while checking your vital load, they will also check for STI which negative people don’t do. So you have free testing in the bag. From that year till today, I’ve not had fever or anything due to the tests which is free.

6. Remove fear, it’s totally nothing I swear with my life, you will be amazed.., Getting to the clinic will convince you though. No one is dying of HIV when they stick to their drugs.


You may not follow my pattern but if you have people you love and trust that won’t stereotype, why not? You can tell them. But sadly I don’t trust anyone to be happy with me especially when I knew I was just in 2nd year in university and my parents will blab on how I got to UNI and was positive.For once also, I made my research because I thought I was going to die but YouTube and looking things up saved me too. Knowledge is power, don’t listen to all these street tadpoles here on nairaland, they know nothing and will never know…

Again, live your life, make sure you just take your drugs and once undetectable… you are so good. It’s nothing big bro

The annoying things I encountered:
1. During the early stages of registering with FMC Umuahia and picking my drugs, the nurses at the clinics can be very annoying. The doctors are sweet.

2. Even though we all in the hall are there to take pills, don’t just shout my name from a distance like they calling school kids, they should learn to be discreet but then of course we are all there for the same thing so…. But I never liked it(anyways I used a fake name from the start, a man that directed me told me to do so), but I don’t see the reason why though, no one have asked and the name I used haven’t made any difference.

3. I missed my appointment once and the treatment they dished out to me was not nice. They were so rude. So just don’t miss your appointment.

4. Because I tried to be careful not to let people know, I had to his my drugs, it’s usually 6 small rubber sealed containers, each for 1 month, it can be very annoying sometimes though. I hid in ceilings in my house, I hid everywhere I swear and will always have one bottle ready for myself. I usually transfer the pill into a multivitamin capsule bottle but again I made sure I don’t give anyone. Lol, to be discreet no easy.

5. I travelled a lot do I have to share room with people sometimes even during nysc, so I kept on hiding everything , lol… it’s stressful though

6. I wasted my money buying fruits and all these suggested trash, if I know, I would have just been taking my drugs, stop thinking and I’ll be fine. That’s all you need. Forget all those take vitamins bla bla bla, you will get scared for nothing, I did my research and all I need was my pill that’s all. If you want to take multivitamin that’s ok, but don’t make it a must. It’s not necessary

I thing that’s all, I’ve not fallen sick ever, please make sure you use condoms while having sex to protect the other partner, you won’t want to hear some saying they texted positive because of you, it will be a lot of drama, but once you are undetectable, you are good. I still use condoms on random people because I don’t want infection, but with my relationships, we test for infection and there was no need for condoms and I’m good.


You are good…. Be safe and avoid people saying what they don’t know

You be strong man oo... To have kept it secret at that young age and went about accessing treatment options... infact nothing fit ‘kill’ you again cheesy

Nothing brother, it was not easy. I hid it from everyone including all those I thought were close to me, I just don’t want stories that touch. It affected my studies too because I was thinking too much which I shouldn’t have if I knew what I know now. My parents were surprised at my grades too but then I know why… lol, anyways I left Naija finally also but that’s when I’ve already gotten over the whole thing, the beauty about abroad is that my drugs are shipped directly to my house. I still do my doctors appointment too and medical records are sooooooooo confidential (no one wants to get sued)… I’m happy and over it

Can I advise you?

Do not go for the ARV…. Anytime you skip or miss the dosage, the viral load increases.

Start fruit therapy.. immune boasting fruits like Garlic, Brocolli, Spinach, Almond, Orange, PawPaw, Watermelon, Apple, Grape, Lemon, Lime, Mango, Avocado, Banana and Pineapple. They have strong photochemical that build up immune system.

Also make bitter Lola your friend. It has anti-oxidation power to suppress viral loads.

Above all, live normal. Trust me… your next test will appear negative especially at this early discovery.

Do this and leave that AVR….
