Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 11:32am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Military87:Na wa o. Only if these doctors can just give us stats on the % of those who tested negative at 3 months and tested positive later, and how common it is. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 11:44am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:they no know. they will tell you its conclucive. OP wasnt far from the truth. i saw a page on med help about 3 persons who were symptomatic and were negative on month 3 and longer. but later positive and most had my symptoms even dehydration. lol. i cant wait to travel back to SA. if those ones talk rubbish there or dont give an accurate explaination i will just give up. |

Military87:I've given up already. Forget that symptoms don't mean anything talk. Glands don't just get swollen without an infection. My annoyance is the fact that it's taking too long. If i had tested positive at the 3 months mark, at least i would be getting used to it. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 1:02pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:will just keep on waiting till 6months if its negative. at this point if i turn out positive i wont even cry. i had to visit a lab few hours ago. The lab attendant doesn't even know HIV test kits well she's a student though. i give up already till 6 months. if the sickness like it should progress i can do with the symptoms i am still having |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 1:22pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Military87:True bro. Same happened few weeks back when i tested. I asked the lab attendant if it was an Elisa or rapid test, she was looking at me like a lost sheep. I had to ask her if it's the strip type of test before she understood what i was saying. At that point, i lost hope on the credibility of the result. 1 Like |

Skripture:stop wasting your time asking them that. even one blood bank guy had no idea what i was talking. You know HIV through blood transfusion is more here in west Africa. meaning they don't even know the proper test kit to use. one was telling me to bring 20k to confirm. told him no wahala. oya whats the name of the test kit he's using. he wouldnt say. 1 Like |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 1:50pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Military87:Lol.. the girl in the lab i tested said it's 15k for confirmation. Men i just need closure so as to move on with what's left of my life. Only if the lady i slept with would agree to test again. She says i'm becoming a nuisance...chaii 1 Like |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 2:07pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:why will she test again. i didn't bother them for a test. whats the name of the confirmatory test. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 2:14pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Military87:She didn't say. she just gave me the list and i saw the price tag. She said it's her boss that does that one. She only knows how to do the rapid test |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 3:22pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:funny enough if you do it. you still wont be convinced. Am i right? |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 5:33pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Military87:I think it's more of psychological now bro. Even if i test negative up till 1 year, my mind is bleeped up already. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 5:44pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:feels like i am talking to a reflection of myself. with all this symptoms i still don't get why the kits still negative. And in most of the sites online if you see how they were bashing all those who turned + after 3months. that they were lying and all. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 5:51pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Military87:Lol... especially people like teak and maybe Vance and Lizzie Lou. They don't even wanna you hear talk about anything beyond 3 months. Teak especially, they so much believe in the 12 weeks conclusive result. A quick one though, is a 6 month test conclusive after 24 weeks or 26?? If you calculate by weeks it's 24 but by days it's 26. Do you think a 24 week test equates that of 26? |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 6:04pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:counting with weeks is dicey.12 weeks is same as 84 days. but one might not be able to track it easily. hence the 3months mark as thats easier to track. so just try keeping it at 180 days(90*2) it makes the whole thing more accurate. i also did a rapid test again today. still negative. saw PLWHA they looked healthy. its not a death sentence after all |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 6:17pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Military87:2 weeks from now makes it 180+ days for me, so I'll just test then than testing now (24 weeks). You tested in a government hospital today?? |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 6:19pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:yeah. seems they meant to take drugs today. i saw the the line on the strip. are you still experiencing anything |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 6:38pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Military87:The nodes are still there, the mouth ulcers have reduced but they still come and go. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 6:39pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:why are you bothered about the nodes. they not visible. i only feel them when i touch them |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by cocococo: 9:59pm On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:PCR is recommended when you have symptoms that look like your viral load is high but antibodies haven’t started being formed. In this case, if the PCR tests negative, then your symptoms are not due to HIV. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 5:16am On Sep 05, 2019 |
cocococo:yeah. but mind you. the viral load drops after sometime when newly infected |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 4:27pm On Sep 05, 2019 |
Military87:It still bothers me that they're swollen. Did you ask what generation of rapid test they use in the hospital when you tested? |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 5:23pm On Sep 05, 2019 |
Skripture:lol bro please. i didn't |

Ronaldo24682:I have a drug that will reduce ur viral load. Its STC30 a stem cell product. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 7:50pm On Sep 05, 2019 |
Military87:Oh. okay |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 7:59pm On Sep 05, 2019 |
Skripture:they tend to use 3rd generation test. so no need asking. sorry i laughed. they dont even know the generation so need asking. i just got two more injuries in my mouth. fingers crossed. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 8:41pm On Sep 05, 2019 |
Military87:Mhen we're fvcked in all sector as a nation. If it's 3rd generation, it should have detected this stuff na. I thought they said symptoms are not meant to last this long?? |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 9:26pm On Sep 05, 2019 |
Skripture:main symptoms stops. These one are just minor. opportunistic i think. i came across a few pages where some persons were negative to antibod test after 3months but positive in the western blot, despite anti bodies being negative. The truth is HIV as an infection is complicated. These doctors make inference from what they have seen and is common. what if you turn out negative what happens |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 10:19pm On Sep 05, 2019 |
Military87:It's a known fact that the virus mutates. I wouldn't believe the result even if it still comes out negative after six months. Either i'm unable to produce detectable antibodies or the test couldn't just pick up the strain i got infected with. I've read about cases where 2 people didn't test positive to antibodies even up to AIDS stage, it was only confirmed through Western blot. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 10:29pm On Sep 05, 2019 |
Skripture:on medhelp right ? and seems the HIV 2 which is mainly found in sub Sahara Africa is somtimes undetectable. i still didnt get why. some authors mentioned something about this happening when the test kits being used is meant for just HIV1. another quick question does our kits here check for just HIv1 or both ? if i turn out negative. i will see my doctor again. if he says trash and give me normal drugs. i won't take. i already am used to this poor immune system of mine. |
