I Once Took Rat Poison and Bleach. My HIV Story by RetroviralS(op):
I remember the first time I saw a child struggling to walk because they had stopped taking their ARVs.
It broke something in me. Not because they were weak but because I knew exactly how that felt. The fear. The pain. The silence.

I had once been there myself. Took rat poison once. Bleach another time. And yet, somehow, I survived. My mother used to remind me every single day: “Take your drugs.” At the time, I didn’t understand that consistent access to those medications was life itself.

But not every child has someone like my mother. Some skip their doses because there’s no one to remind them —or no drugs available in their area.

That’s how lives slip away quietly. Every package we deliver is more than medication; it’s a lifeline.

👉 This week, let’s remember the children who still struggle in silence.

👉Share their stories.
👉Advocate for access.
👉Because one small act of care could save a child’s entire future.

HIV isn't a death sentence. ARVs is hope

It is well o. I hope they get a cure soon
Re: I Once Took Rat Poison and Bleach. My HIV Story by DissTroy(m):
We need more stories like this to scare men and women. The fear of AIDS has waned.

You'll see men sleep with a girl who is known to be loose. You know your girl is unfaithful but you're still sleeping with her to "teach her a lesson and waste her time" while risking your health.

In the last year, sale of condoms in Nigeria dropped by 55% which means more people are having unprotected sex, including those with multiple partners.

HIV is not a death sentence. More people die from diabetes and malaria.

Malaria and typhoid kill faster and more people than HIV.

HIV is scary because we have made it so. But there are more deadly disease out there.

However, it comes with a burden: the constant need to take drugs everyday for life.

If you don't take your drugs as a hiv positive person, your immune system will crash, and all sorts of viruses, bacteria, and fungi that in the past could not enter your body, because the immune system dey strong gigiba...will enter, and will make you so weak, you won't be able to do anything at all.

Market which drugs? Read the post, the guy says hiv patients should take the recomended drugs, which are free of charge in most hospitals participating in the anti-HIV drug dispensing programme of the government and sundry NGO's

Well, all in all, mockery is not a good game to play.

He's the one mocking those with HIV—not me. He keeps claiming to be living with HIV, which is not true.
Re: I Once Took Rat Poison and Bleach. My HIV Story by Sensiblerealist(m): 3:00pm On Dec 01, 2025
Do you know him to dispute whether he has HIV or not?

There are many ways HIV can be contacted not just through sex.

Clippers, cuts, etc.

You can come in contact with an infected person's blood in many ways and not just through sex.

So, know your HIV Status
Re: I Once Took Rat Poison and Bleach. My HIV Story by Nwaikpe: 5:17pm On Dec 01, 2025
Please let's have the donation links to charities that fund these drugs.

Very important.

HIV is scary because it has no cure.
Managing a disease is not the same as curing it.
Smallpox,Polio and Syphilis had more aura,until they were curable or preventable by vaccines.

HIV is still out there. Be safe

Someone is doing advocacy for people living with HIV. He may be working with an NGO that helps people with HIV and you are here misunderstanding him. Suggesting he's selling HIV medications which is well known to be free.

Are you new to NL or just have difficulties understanding?

Really touching to the heart.

I pray God heals the world wrecked by evil men soon and grant us a total win over this disease through a breakthrough research by we scientists/meticulous researcher.
