HealthMy HIV Test Dilemma by uncleck(op): 10:00pm On Aug 30, 2022
I noticed some ungodly invaders on my private sanctuary so I headed to a laboratory on Saturday to ascertain who the invaders were. The young lab technician took my urine, blood and swap for the test and asked me to come on Tuesday for result because the Monday sit at home is still active.

To cut the long story short, he told me I had "serious staphylococcus aureus". In his words, "but there is a problem-- you have HIV". Consequently he told me that someone who was going to bring drugs to me will call me shortly and he won't recommend any treatment for the staph unless I start treating the HIV otherwise the staph treatment won't work. Meanwhile as of that Tuesday, those invaders on my sanctuary had even disappeared to thin air; they were nowhere to be found again.

All the while I was just looking at him and shaking my head. My problem with him wasn't about the test result but the audacity with which he said I have HIV and even was determined to place me on treatment immediately. But I wasn't perturbed.

The next day I got a call from a lady who asked that we see at a certain health center. I told her I won't be available till Sunday. She was willing to meet me even in my location on that Sunday. I agreed anyway. I deliberately delayed seeing her till Sunday so that I would have time to do proper testing.

On Saturday I took my mate to another lab and we did the test again while she did culture as well (I didn't bother to do another culture since I was perfectly ok). The HIV test came out negative (as expected). I wasn't interested in meeting that lady again. Throughout Sunday I didn't call her and she didn't call me either. On Monday she called. I asked her whether she only gives drugs or she run test before treatment. She said she run test first, so I gave her another appointment on Tuesday.

I got to the health center this morning and discovered that the lady is truly a health worker. They wanted to start those their preaching I just told them to go straight to the point and run the test, whatever the outcome is I will accept it. They wanted to refuse but I assured them... The test was conducted and the result was still negative and few minutes later I was out.


Now the issue:
1. On the initial result, the lab technician wrote that HIV is reactive. A medical practitioner should know that at that instance, what he should do is to recommend a further testing. It was very wrong of him to conclude, based on that result alone, that I was positive. Let's even assume that I misunderstood him, he communicated it in the worst possible manner.

2. I look healthy. There was no emergency. So he shouldn't have held back from writing out drug prescription for the supposed infection for me because I paid 8k for the test. Not treating HIV shouldn't stop treating infection.

3. Staphylococcus aureus is not an STI, but you can hardly be intimate with a patient without being infected. There's nothing like staph in the test result of my mate. So I don't even trust that his result.

4. When I mentioned the name of the lab at the health center, the attested to the genuineness of the lab. But I'm concerned: could they have given me another person's result?

The immediate sign of that is the return of police checkpoint at every pole.

The reduction in attack might also not be unconnected with the rise of Peter Obi's popularity. The presence of Obi in the race has raised the hope of many who hitherto had lost hope in the Nigerian project.

Peace is all we pray for!!!

start learning a programing language...like python...u don't need maths..and start reading up on networking...you can run both at the same time..after that...web development...you don't need to know how to build a website just understand how it works...and also change your OS to Kali Linux...and read up on how to navigate around the OS..after that you should be able to find your own way...it's not going to be easy bro
Thanks a bunch. Could you please recommend a budget laptop?

What you need is Logical thinking rather than math.
As long you good with logic, The you are good to go with programming.

and if you really want to explore cyber security, I recommend using Kali Linux as your Operating System and subscribing to NetworkChuck on YouTube.
Thanks a lot. Please which budget laptop would you recommend to me?

You should be able to read and understand codes to be a hacker..even if you can't build with it...if you plan on writing malwares though..you need to know how to code...for reverse engineering...u need c and assembly language...but for malware creation .. python will do...for me I started with web and mobile development...then transitioned into networking..then cyber security
Which learning progression would you recommend for me?

a hacker or cyber-security expert who does not know how to programme is called a script kiddie (you can do more research on Google) these are the ones that used automated or already made tools to hack..they just download a bunch of hacking software, master it and start hacking. The government find it easier to trace and catch these one's (if your intent is malicious) and moreover, it's difficult to make legit money as a script kiddie because I don't think any company will be willing to hire you because they don't consider these ones to be skilled.

But like I said earlier, if your desire is to be a skilled ethical hacker who is good at what he does or a hacker who hopes to work for a company and earn legit money, you need to learn programming..simple
That's it. See me see python

Hmmm cyber security,one of the most underrated fields in tech..that's nice.. You don't even need programming to become a cyber-security consultant but if you want to become a wizard who's really good in cyber security, you need to know how to programme.. You don't need maths to become a successful programmer, as long as you know how to do basic 1+1 and CO, you'll be fine. But that doesn't mean it's going to be easy at all, at all.. Since your field of choice is cyber security, I'll advice you to start learning python because that's what Godly hackers and cyber-security experts use the most. After learning python, you can figure yourself out from there. I'm not saying it's a must to learn it ohh, you don't even need it, but if you want to be really, really good at what you do, like make your own hacking tools, reverse engineering, and more take your time to learn phyton first.
That's very informative. You said I don't even need programming to debut in cyber security, please how? Explain more

I've had interest in programming for more than 15 years, but I think now is the right time to start. But the problem is that I don't like mathematics and I don't do well in it either.

Can I still become a successful programmer?

Where do I start, which language will you recommend to me? (my major interest is cyber security)

What is the minimum spec of laptop that I should buy?

Please gurus help me

You guys are really funny in this forum. Apple makes premium phones. Samsung makes premium phones and others. It is preposterous to say that Samsung or apple makes a scrap phone. How can you use crap while discussing iphone pro max, galaxy S ultra, galaxy Z fold? I can say unequivocally that majority of phone users never utilize half the potentials of their premium phones. So the extra features in premium phones are just for prestige.

You can't actually say that 13 pro max is better than S22ultra and vice versa. Both phones have their strengths and weaknesses. In the end, individual choice rein supreme.

Personally I'm in love with S 21 ultra. But that doesn't mean that I won't jump up if given any of S22 ultra or 13 pro max

Don't worry. I'm a die-hard samsung fan also. I struggled to purchase note9 in 2020 from nurex09. I was so joyous and was planning to buy note 10 in future.

Alas! This year February, I was one of the 100 people that pre-ordered samsung s22ultra cheesy Never give up, I have a s22ultra + samsung watch4. Same with my wife, and now I don't feel so obsessed as I do feel before I got it. grin grin
I've been using different Samsung A series but they don't tickle my fancy at all. But it's well.

You no longer feel obsessed as before because you have satisfied your curiosity. Imagine the feeling before and after se.x?
