Didn't you see where he wrote this:

I don't smoke, drink or live a reckless life or sleep around, like I've been in only one relationship all my life, so its not about your lifestyle.
I don't know if I got it from the idp camps or my girlfriend(she was the only person I was with at that time), we just didn't care, we moved on.


Be objective.
And I was being objective by saying he could have contracted it from the Idp camp, not rulling out the possibility of getting it from his girlfriend. Most comments here are one way : his girlfriend only. That's my take

Okay... but objectivity says that being around people who have the virus is not a transmission route. In fact, there is no reason to contract the virus unless you are living recklessly or are otherwise exposed due to an extraordinary incident. Now OP has not told us of any such incident, such a needle prick.

Compare that to unprotected sex which is the major means of transmission. Objectivity tells that there is the 95% chance this is how he got it. I understand you were also being objective but this is more objective. Don't put it down to misogyny.

You better not conclude its HIV without any confirmation.
Remember sore throat is also one of the symptoms of COVID-19 grin

You didn't tell us the side effect of all those antiretroviral drugs that you have been popping since five years. My brother HIV is a dead sentence.
How many hiv patients do you know that died this year? But as we speak malaria is taking people's life even as we speak

There are more dead sentence sickness we don't care about while crying on the ones that does nothing

hiv cant survive in blood that is exposed and besides ur barbing clipper is not that sharp enough to spill blood on its blades.dont know why ppl keep spreading false news about the spread of hiv cheesy.u can get it from shared syringes,manicure,blood transfusion and sex.but u cant get it from kissing,sharing the same spoon with the person or barbing clipper cheesy.

What u said is right, but don't generalise, there are many kinds of viruses. While HIV virus is spread thru fluid contact, the SARA COVID 19 virus is different, while it can also be spread thru blood contact, it is also spread through surface touches when u touch ur mucus entry points. And don't use the word survive for none living things, u rather say it gets destroyed when not in human blood. But the Coronavirus still remains intact in surfaces

I "accidentally" found out I had HIV in 2015... Worst year of my life.. I know you might be thinking that I'm a promiscuous person but I assure you, I'm very far from that... So this is how it all started?

I did my NYSC in my dad's company and finished in late 2014 and I was given a full year to go read a course I didn't even want. So I instead volunteered for Youth In Action Against HIV and poverty in Tanzania. My dad was furious but my mum understood.

It was 6months filled with lessons, tears, experience and a firsthand witness to the sufferings of others... We tended to the poorest of the poor in rural Tanzania.

I later came down to Borno and later North bank area of Benue state, I realized there were a lot of vulnerable people that are hungry and can't afford even cheap medical care thus they die of common malaria.

I didnt stay long in Borno before I started having this feeling of fatigue and blurry vision, I thought it was cuz of the stress that comes with what I do, so I decided to go home. Few days after getting home I started feeling this head splitting headache, I thought it was malaria/typhoid of which a lab test later confirmed.. Out of curiosity, I told the doctor to run a full check up.. Just to be on a safe side.. Which he did..

You should imagine my surprise when he told me I was HIV positive.. Nothing has ever prepared me for that moment.. It was funny how a malaria treatment could turn to an HIV nightmare.. I thought of just ending my life right then.

But i braced myself and took the drugs, I was surprised that it was free in Nigeria sef.

I rushed home and took my girlfriend to run the test and it turned out that she has it too...
We've been taking the drugs for the past 5years now with an high Cd4 count and a low viral load.. The virus is not detectable in our blood stream anymore and we are happily married and our first twin boys are negative.

If you're out there and you've been in my shoes.. Its not the end of your life.. Life just happens and its not entirely your fault.

I don't smoke, drink or live a reckless life or sleep around, like I've been in only one relationship all my life, so its not about your lifestyle.
I don't know if I got it from the idp camps or my girlfriend(she was the only person I was with at that time), we just didn't care, we moved on.

So lovelies, Take your ARV drugs, take fruits, eat well, within 3-6 months you can still have unprotected sex throughout your life with your partner without infecting them or your children.. You can live your life to the fullest and more.

P.s: HIV patients do not look skinny and dried up.. That's just an archaic stereotype...
It is also not a death sentence.

Two questions...why didn't you use PEP the hiv drug?.

how much did you spend in all

Am I supposed to be surprised?

A LovePeddler will always attack whoever that tries to say the truth about her type. Girls like you are the reason we don't have any good woman in this country again.

You can never keep your legs closed and stay faithful for once. You just jump from one dick to another. Idiot.

Why should I care about his nonsense travels. And the modes of HIV transmission. He is a simp..and even makes excuses for her.....and those are the type of unfortunate mugus that you whores likes to tie down for marriage after being used and washed up by street urchins. The truth must be told and it hurts tramps like you.

Was he sharing sharp objects with them?


It's not your parent's fault that you turned out like this. You certainly needs medical evaluation. My prayers are with you.

You are a big FOOL. When was the last time you prayed? LovePeddler.s like you will acquire one worthless gadget and claim its God when a place is already reserved for you at the deepest part of hell.

I don't need prayers from those God doesn't listen to.

@Evercurious

Why are you ladies just supporting OutharryHIV's wife up and down

If OutharryHIV is very happy and doing well, he won't bring his story here at all.

That he is sharing this shows he may be desperately trying to heal. Forget all the "I'm trying to encourage somebody" story. There are enough counsellors out there for PLWH. Every time, they go get their drugs, they are counselled.

How can someone who has never been promiscuous suddenly come down with HIV having known only his then girlfriend cum wife

So unfair!!!

And what makes you feel that HIV is only contacted via unprotected sex?
