Please Nairaland doctors I need your advice please, Collected my test result and it was positive, I don't have any plans of telling my parent because they can't handle it, I want to battle it till I become undetectable. Contracted the virus June after a rough outing (my first time) after that encounter all connection and lines we communicate with was not reachable ,felt sick and decided to do the test and was positive after 2month now I always feel weak ,shaky , I have done the test prior to that time and was negative. So I was directed to a government health care where I can start treatment immediately because going by the hospital I was confirmed to be positive I might not start treating even after two weeks because of the time to see doctor proceses etc, so I was given the drug they said it a new one Acriptega contain dolutegravir/lamivudine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate . And it should be taken in the morning my concern, I seriously need quide please. I would prefer taking it at night but the person that attended to me said i should take it in the morning because of side effect,

I will like to also give you a confidential advice, send me an email, note I don’t sell drugs neither will I charge you a kobo for the information. You can take your drugs at your convenience preferably at night because of the side effects. So am surprised they told you not to take it at night. Please don’t pay a kobo to anyone claiming to have a cure. It’s not the end of the world. You can live with it positively. And fulfill your dreams on earth. For now keep it confidential, don’t tell your parents yet.

More and more people coming out to disclose their status. Stay strong bro. I should get my antigen/antibody test results tomorrow. I have made up my mind anything it is good or bad I will just smile and go home.

Sometimes it is difficult to comprehend some persons behavior.

According to the Op, he claimed to have fallen sick after his rough outing and immediately he decided to go for Std test.

No without doubts I would love to know what prompted the op in going for the test, and what if he an error was made by the lab scientist..

Op please clarify what symptoms u had that promoted ur decision

I am a social worker who works in a facility where HIV clients are attended to.
This drug you mentioned is a new drug which is usually given to men whose viral load are suppressed and women who have passed childbearing age. It should be taken at nights, when you are through with the work for each day and ready to retire for the night.
Significant improvement is usually noticed among people who adhere to this drug as they usually put on weight.
If you can adhere to your treatment, you can attain viral load suppression of below 1,000 copies or even leas than 20.
Cheers.

Rashes on my hand and a single one on my head. Is that a sign of HIV.

Can a HIV positive man father a child who would be negative?

It's preferably taken in the morning because it's been known to disturb sleep. Other than that there's no other problem

You can actually try taking at night for a few days and observe. If it doesn't affect you, then continue.

Rashes aren't a sign of HIV. You can only confirm if you test.

To your second question, definitely yes. Even the HIV positive woman who carries the child for 9 month can give birth to a negative baby as long as she takes all the precautions.
