When you were diving in raw, you weren't scared. Now you're shiverring like a chicken that they poured water on. Congratulations in advance on your HIV positive status. I have zero compassion for you.

The fear shaa. I just can't stand it. For the past two weeks I've been trying to muster courage for this but no way.
I wanted to do it last week Wednesday but when I got close to the hospital, I lost every courage in me, I had to change direction, entered a cool joint, took some bottles of beer and headed home.
I just wish someone can drag me there but I can't confide in anyone Incase if it turns out positive
Dude, if you love yourself and the woman, go do that test right now.

If you have HIV you are good but if you delay it and let it turn to AIDS, oh buy sorry na your name, HIV test should be routine if you live such a rough sex life. Did you not fear infecting an innocent girl?
Why no condom? You hate yourself and life that much? shocked shocked shocked shocked

Yes, you can be extremely lucky and do rough play with 12 girls and not have BUT not advisable.

You can also be extremely unlucky and catch it from doing with only one girl.

My past is seriously hunting me. In the past 4 years I've had unprotected sex with 12 girls. Now I want to get married and my girlfriend is insisting on HIV test first.

All these while I never did any HIV test, I never felt it's important to do it and I never had any known symptoms of HIV.

Since she requested for the test, I've been postponing it citing busy schedules and all that but deep down I'm just damn frightened.

Can it be possible to have sex with 12 girls and still not get HIV? The thing is seriously giving me sleepless night.

I'm planning on going for a test myself alone, then if it's negative, I will then go with her but if not, I will just japa
You are not positive. It is normal to fidget whenever one is going for HIV test, even if you have been celibate.

Brother, try to calm down and first of all go alone for the test.If it is negative, thank God and know that you have a second chance.
Then gladly follow your gf to the hospital.
And please don't take your second chance for granted.Good luck.

Re: I'm Afraid I Might Have HIV by icankel: 4:33pm On Oct 31, 2023
Nigerian men only get tested when they're about getting married. The test has kept many men single till date when they're due for marriage and money isn't a problem either. Put yourself together and do what you must do.

Eriokanmi:
Where did you get your statistical data from? Kindly post it here.

The last time I checked, hiv was fast becoming a pandemic in the country and no thanks to the federal government careless views on this. I was at the FMOH in Abuja last August where the programme director was lamenting, that if not checked, hiv would soon become a pandemic in the country with the kind of results they were receiving from government hospitals, that the NGOs should intensify efforts in curtailing the spread.

Last year, a girl whom I used to groom told me she had some spotted swellings at some locations in her body. She never had a bf until she met this guy who returned from Philippines. They've been talking but eventually met face to face. They grew up together in same area before he travelled. In short, he promised to marry her, slept with her and went back. When I asked her if she ever did anything with anybody, she denied it. I now asked her to go for hiv yest cos what I saw was like lymph nodes coming out. She tested positive. That guy ignored her immediately after she asked him some questions. It spreads like wildfire now. The onus is on everyone to zip up and lead a responsible life. Go to the government hospitals and see for yourself. That statistical data you came up with would disappoint you. A lot of people who are hiv positive don't show symptoms cos they take their drugs. Their looks can be deceptive.

First, everything I wrote about HIV up there is true. I know cause I'm a part of a HIV prevention program here. As a member of this program, I know exactly how to approach each individual, and my comment up there was geared towards an individual who is afraid of getting tested. I got my statistics from a reputable source (Statista Research development, collated in 2021 and published in Feb. 2023). Considering the fact that we have issues with statistics in Nigeria and also the fact that some HIV positive people are unaware of their status, I used the word "about" when stating the number of carriers and the number of adult women in Nigeria. Of course, the number of carriers could be more, but that doesn't my conclusion which is that the OP's chance of having the virus is less than 1%.

If you go to a HIV clinic, of course, you'd see an overwhelming cluster of people with HIV because it's a convergence center for them, but at a national level it won't be more than 1.5% of adult women. This combined with the fact that the OP's chance of getting infected with the disease if he had sex with a carrier is less than or equal to 0.05% implies that the overall chances of the OP having HIV is less than 1% even if he had sex with a HIV positive person. I'm not saying this to encourage promiscuity or make people let thier guards down. HIV is real, and even though it's very manageable today, it's still a serious health concern all over the world. I'm saying this because it's a scientific fact and one that will encourage the OP to get tested.

Solution wise, zipping up is one of the solutions, but it's not the most practical one. Arguably, human beings are not created to zip up. Regardless of what religion says or how much we preach, people will keep having sex. And until we start pushing other solutions, HIV, HPV and other STD's will keep spreading. I, therefore, encourage people to know thier safety options and pick the one that works for them and thier pocket:

1) Abstinence (aka zip-up)
2) Monogamy (where both parties get tested every 6 months)
3) Condom
4) PREP (regular or on-demand)
5) PEP (preferably PEP-IN-POCKET aka PIP)
6) Undetectable viral load (if one of the parties is known to be HIV positive)

etrange:
Yes, it could happen in one thrust, but statistically speaking, the possibility of you having HIV is extremely low. Nigeria has about 1 million women with HIV and about 100 million women in total. So the chance of you meeting one is like 1%. Again, some of the 1 million HIV positive women are on medication and have undetectable viral loads. This further reduces the number of women in the country that can readily give you HIV (since undetectable viral load implies that it impossible to transmit the disease to others). OK, let's now assume all odds were against you and you had sex with that one-in-a-hundred HIV positive person with a viral load that is not undetectable (i.e., they can transmit the disease), the odds of you contracting the disease from them is still very low. HIV is a difficult virus to catch. When a man has an unprotected sex with a HIV positive woman, the chance of him getting the disease from her in a session is about 0.05%.

So sir, you'll have to be one unlucky fellow to beat these odds. So I suggest you just go and get tested, and stop being a scardy cat, lol. Remember, whatever the result is, it is not the end of the world. It's better to be safe than sorry. Don't let anyone tell you HIV is hoax. That level of ignorance/naivety shouldn't be in existence in 2023. HIV is very much real. And even though it's no longer as dangerous as it once was, it is still out there, and you don't want to have it. So moving forward, it's good to know your safety options and pick the one that works for your and your pocket:

1) Abstinence (aka zip-up)
2) Monogamy (where both parties get tested every 6 months)
3) Condom
4) PREP (regular or on-demand)
5) PEP (preferably PEP-IN-POCKET aka PIP)
6) Undetectable viral load (if one of the parties is known to be HIV positive)



So if someone has a girl who is HIV positive but she told me that she has been taking medication and now the doctor told her she is free but she would still be taking the medication, what is the probability of the Man to get infected

This is so me right now🤦🏾‍♂️

I did hiv test last around 2018 or so which was negative then..... But since then i have sincerely lost count of how many girls i have slept with, though some was with condom!!!!

Right now that I'm matured enough and has decided to come clean with life and be sexually responsible.

Getting a HIV test right now seems like a death warrant to me, though i don't and have never noticed any symptoms of HIV before.

But getting myself to go run the test seems like a thousand ways to die for me😪
