.

So, you haven't had sex in 2 years but still got tested monthly? And mysteriously you somehow contracted HIV, found out last week and yet are unconcerned as to how that happened? Ok oooo...

Rajahbite:
This is my first time of posting on this forum and I pray this get to as many people as possible.
Most folks dread the thought of testing positive to HIV but it shouldn't be so. That is why it is very necessary to get tested at least once in a month.
I developed the habit of getting tested monthly (though I can beat my chest and say with pride that I am not a promiscuous fellow). But recently I skipped a couple of months in my routine for no apparent reason. The last time I got a test was mid-march so I went for a test last week and the test result came out positive. To be certain it wasn't a mistake, I went to two other places and the results were adamantly positive.
Now some people may ask who who got me infected, but that is a none-issue as far as I'm concerned . I have even stopped asking myself how I got infected because it's been more than two years since the last time I had sexual intercourse . So it can't possibly have been sexually transmitted to me, most especially as the experts say the viral load is low which means I must have been recently infected, at most not more than five or six months.
I intend to utilize my status as an HIV+ person to reach out and help as many as I can. I am already posting on Facebook what I learn from counseling programs I attend on living with the virus.
The Doctors said they have to monitor my viral load and CD4 count for some time in order to determine the best treatment program for me. I know that if I stick to the treatment program and follow the Doctors advice diligently that I'll still live a healthy life.
I use this medium to beg of everyone reading this to go for an HIV test. Knowing your status is key to helping yourself. If you are negative, please maintain all necessary prevention techniques.... avoid unprotected sex/multiple partners , don't share needles/blades (if you can afford it, get your own hair clipper) but above all, get tested regularly.
If you find out that you are positive (like me) , please don't despair. There are several HIV/AIDS centres in most hospitals across the nation where you can access help in the form of counseling and medications and these are mostly free of charge.
HIV is not a death sentence, you can still live a meaningful and healthy life despite your status.
Spread the message and not the virus.

Quinn22:
Yes for reals

Franzinni:
damn girl.. That is just savage right there... But I know you don't mean it sha...because women are not that heartless...

alezzy13:
Not just hospitals, but even some primary health centres. Regarding clippers, I'm sure you know its improper to use those clipers at the barbers shop. Aside the HIV scare, its also basic hygiene. Get your own clippers which will be used by only you.

Quinn22:
Ikr

Maybe I'm very heartless, very wicked and a soulless creature

Feels good to be wicked

I totally understand you bro. I studied applied microbiology and had the opportunity of doing my 4 months Industrial Training attachement at a Federal Medical Centre. Was rotated around the various units in the Med Lab Dept. Serology unit handled RVS tests and we had them in droves everyday. One day one man came in for tests. Extremely thin, pale and sickly. You'd think he had acute Hepatitis B infection and wasn't gonna last the next week. I was to draw his blood for Retroviral screening.

Long story short, I pricked myself when I attempted to cap the needle after drawing his blood. I can still feel the hot flush, the shock, the sting, the rush of blood from my head anytime I recall that moment. Four other staff were in the room with me, but I didn't let them know what had happened. I squeezed out as much blood as I could from the finger and swabbed with Jik bleach. Couldn't continue working that day. Made up an excuse and left later on. Got home and couldn't think of anything else. I was devastated to say the least. Did I also add that the patient's result came out positive? Everyone already knew that was going to be the outcome.

I lost appetite and withdrew completely. Stopped talking to my siblings and parents. My mom noticed this and had to sit me down two days later to query my sudden change of attitude. I just laid it out bare to her. She expressed shock, asked why I had kept quiet all the while and said we were going to another FMC that specialised in HIV management immediately. We went there the next day where they did my screening (came out negative) and put me on Post-exposure prophylaxis regimen for 30 days. To this day, nobody, not even my late dad, siblings, nobody except my mom is aware of this incident.

Now the reason I'm spilling all these here, is to let you know that miracles happen. This incident occurred Sept 10, 2004. Yup. 13 years ago. I'm currently married with a pretty wife and daughter, and another baby about to land very soon. I have been negative ever since. My family members are all negative and the babies were all conceived naturally without any special arrangement. Just God's Divine Grace. I must confess that i was MEGA apprehensive when we went for screening prior to our wedding. Was sweating bullets when the nurses called us in to hand us our results. Of course it was negative. My life has been a miracle bro. I once in a while go on Facebook to just type those words "My being alive today is still a miracle" and people do not understand what I mean.

I was a virgin when that needlestick occurred, so I believe you when you say you did not get infected sexually.

I don't have much words to give you bro. You know better. All I can say is take your medications religiously, stay positive!

You definitely have a testimony to share.

Franzinni:
JESUS!!! I am now afraid!!! What A woman to have this kind of mind? It even feels good?.. Let me check if I am dreaming please give me a minute... Chai.

Rajahbite:
Nope, I'm not claiming to be a saint but the truth is that I don't know how I got it and it's not relevant to me.

Quinn22:
No you are not dreaming, this is reality

Newbiee:
But prevention is better than cure or knowing how to live with it na. Had it been you made an effort to know how you contacted it, it would have been more useful to the readers than advising them on how to live with it.
Anyway, kudos for your bravery!

Franzinni:
I just checked it is true sha... Quinn22. But why? Did someone positive vex you? Let me understand because this one weak me o...

Quinn22:
No one vexed me....I'm just bored

Rajahbite:
Hahahahaaa..... what matters to me is to educate people on how to avoid getting infected and/if already infected, how to live a healthy life despite your status

If you must have unprotected sex, do not run out of test kits at home. Fast and accurate

geekybabe:
Lol.. is HIV a death sentence?

Some countries have a high HIV rate and they still live their lives. In South africa alone, statistics says about 6 or 7 pple out of 10 have d virus. And yet these pple get pregnant and have healthy babies dat do not have the virus. Their govt even gives them free ARVs.

Just dat in Nigeria, even the simplest malaria can look like a death sentence attimes. Govt does not seem to be bothered in anyway..

You can live your life bro. Start living and stop worrying.

AHCB:
All in all. Wanking_ still is the safest and best way of having sex.

Yea, where are those religious people. Let them come and debunk this fact!

Mckayla:
The best way to educate about hiv prevention is to first educate yourself, having the disease does not make you an expert. The barbering clippers you mentioned has been debunked numerous times as not being a medium for transmission of the disease. And your attitude of not caring how you got it doesn't really help educate anyone about ways to prevent. If you don't know how you got HIV, how can you educate others on how to prevent infection or spread.

NwaAmaikpe:

OP having HIV is not the end of the world, please have a very positive outlook to life.

Then please drink two bottles of Hypo...I hear it kills the virus.

That's why my barber uses it to sterilize clippers.
