I have never believed in that shi...t. But it does not stop one from protecting himself since they have created that fear.

Immoral people wish it not real.
HIV is the best thing to happen to our generation hence sexual immorality will be more abundant than air and water.

Some 'unbelievers' have even gone as far as acronymising it as 'American Invention to Discourage Sex'. grin


Me, I don't know, and I don't care, really, at least not that much.

I use contraceptives mainly to avoid unwanted pregnancies and badder STDs like good old gonorrhea and staph.

You see, this mindset is the reason Africa has more HIV cases and is not because of conspiracy theories

God save me as I prefer flesh to flesh. I am not faithful to one partner too. I confess Lord please save me. I try to abstain but very difficult as I use to break my vow, please save me God. I am weak please strengthen me in this area. Please save me God. If real or not, I hold strongly unto you Lord that I will not contact it. Amen.

Are my country people all these medically ingnorant? They are still asking if AIDs is real. Well, I don't have much to say. 1 out of every 10 Nigerians has the virus. Abstainance, protective sex is the way to avoid it.

So I was having a discussion with friends at work today about HIV and shockingly not all of us agreed on whether the virus is real or not. Some said it a development from the American government to wipe out the African population. They further backed it up with the following theories

1. Why is test results not always constant. They said whatever result you take, its all lies. Why is it that you get tested in a hospital and it reads positive. To clear your doubts, you move to another hospital the following day to get a test and it reads negative

2. Many people who have multiple sex partners never get the virus. (forget about theories that some people are immune to the virus) But a first time who decides to have unprotected sex contacts the virus. Isn't that unfair grin Aunty yetunde who is a prostitute is negative while sister chiamaka the choir mistress is positive.

3. Some said HIV might be real but doesn't leads to aids. Its the ARV drugs you take (supposedly developed but the western world to decrease population) that leads to AIDS.

4. The virus was an initial experiment but somehow escaped from the lab

5. Some said its real and have a cure but the pharmaceutical industries are after financial gain. They'll make more profits with patients managing the virus rather than an instant cure/#.
Ever heard of HIV DENIALISM ? Some denialists reject the existence of HIV, while others accept that the virus exists but say that it is a harmless passenger virus and not the cause of AIDS. cheesy

My own candid view is that the virus is real. But I don't believe it leads to AIDS. All the same, protection is key, abstinence is the best. If you test positive today, its not the end of the world. Life goes on.

well whats your take?

If some people are still thinking like this, then we are in real trouble. HIV is real!!

I thought I was the only one thinking about the mystery of this Hiv stuff.
Although I believe in the existence of the virus because of the nature of my job. As an auditor, I also audit private hospitals and amongst their vouchers and financial records, some have HIV/ARV sales book where they record the number of ARVs bought and sold to patients and their different prices.
But the reality is this, the number of folks who have unprotected sex on a daily basis in Naija is so alarming that if this virus was real, almost everyone would be infected.
I have a friend who hates the use of condom and yet he is a chronic womanizer who has been sleeping with every thing in skirt including runs girls & Oloshos for many years but guess what, he tested negative to Hiv before his recently concluded wedding as he was tested by his church.
How about a girl who constantly sleeps with her boyfriend while her boyfriend is sleeping with another girl who is also sleeping with another guy and the list goes on and on and on? everybody no for don get the virus??

That's why at times I'm tempted to believe that this HiV stuff is a well articulated scam by the foreigners to either checkmate the world's population or to scam millions of people.

But Hey, what do I know?
Always use a condom Guys.
There are few ppl who do not have receptors to d virus,and so cannot be infected, just chickenpox hits a whole family but spares one person.
HIV is real sir,visit d infectious disease department of any hospital and u will believe.

I guess its because of the long window period of 6 months to 6 years that make some folks here think the virus is not real.

These same folks don't doubt Ebola with a short window period of 3 weeks.

All those who think its not real should volunteer for a free transfusion of 1 pint of HIV positive blood and prove with their lives to those they are trying to fool...

Hmmm....in 2017 people have doubts whether HIV is real.... when almost everyone knows of someone who died of AIDS. IN 2017 too many believe that HIV can be be contracted through sex only. False test results have nothing to do with whether or not HIV is real. HIV is real. .no doubt. .. some will find out the hard way.

If you could believe HIv is real, then you can as well believe Aids is. HIV if not managed properly can lead to AIDS. And aids is not a disease on its own or an infection or something.
it is a state whereby the immune system is too weak to fight off infection that even common cold can be life threatening. So no one dies from AIDS, they can only die as a result of AIDS

bros forget that nonsense. HIV ko HIV ni. That thing na scam and point one the op noted is proof. Results are always inconsistent. a friend of mine once tested positive in one hospital like that . he coundn't sleep nor eat for day. he was even contemplating suicide then I persuaded him to re do the test again. This time in a different hospital. They said he was negative. We went t to another hospital, result read negative. To be very sure, he did the test again after some months and still negative. The first hospital that tested positive, naso dem for don go do am for innocent person, the mumu go just accept him fate like that dey use drug ontop disease wey e nor get. How e nor go die?

By the way why do you people attribute STD's and vaginal maggots to Alhajis? We need to stop that mentality abeg. Grow up dude.


I agree absolutely with your last line. Per real or not real. Prof. Dr. Olikoye Ransome Kuti said emphatically that his brother Fela died of aids. I don't think the guy will lie like that, also, he is a teacher, Dr and even a Health Minister. My broda, i think aids is real. You cannot use that your example to judge. Just last week here, a naija hospital told a pregnant lady she will be having a son. The lady got to London and discovered she is having TWINS. Now lets discuss the koko of the matter... Now, for the first hospital that said your friend tested positive, what did you guys do? i guess nothing right? That is the nigerian corruption, laziness and mentality. That hospital might have a bad, defective system or might not even be carrying out comprehensive tests even and someone might commit suicide by that news. So what you and your friend is supposed to do is follow-up, or sue the hospital so that NO ONE EVER experiences what your friend experienced due to negligence, corruption or a defective system. Its not too late, in the meantime, what is the name of the hospital and where is it located?

but I have witnessed more than 10 people died of malaria, is hiv is real it should have been killing like malaria considering the level of immorality in the society


malaria is much more of a killer dan hiv.. To my best of knowledge HIV lowers d human immune system. hiv kills d wbc in the body thereby leaving d body defenseless to anyother type of disease..
Dats BTW sha. Oral herpes and chronic hepatitis b have be proven to be more dangerous stds dan hiv

I believe its real but it is a very difficult virus to contract but more easier to be contracted by a woman than a man. but there are some situation that might make u think this HIV thing is a scam. I have this friend whose gf tested positive and she later confessed of having another guy but the both guys tested Negative and the relationship has lasted for 11 months with unprotected sex. that really got me thinking same thing d op said.

According to Thabo Mbeki, former president of south Africa, HIV/AIDS is not real.

He stated that HIV/AIDS does not kill people. That what actually kills people is malnutrition and hunger.

Windows period of HIV is 3 months and in a rare case is 6 months. nothing like 6 years. my friends case made me read extensively about this virus. and from what I understand hiv is a very difficult virus to transmit and also its harder for men and much harder for men that are circumcise to contract it. and another thing from what I read is that is not every time u have sex with an infected person that u become infection there are things involved like the viral load and luck. I have heard of many couples in which one tested positive and the other negative and I have search for d reason why we have things like that but science don't have a clear explanation why one couple will test positive and the other negative. they just say it is genetic and luck. pls let's protect ourselves. at least now I know my status and I will try my best to keep it going. protect ursef, and also get tested its d only way to know if u have it or not
