The statement "HIV is not the end of your life " is nothing but scam.

It is the end!

Just like Sickle Cell patients.

They are all living corpse. Let's embrace the truth, enlighten people on the dangers of HIV and stop giving them reasons to have unprotected sexual activities.

You're a complete dunce.
Typical ignorant man living in the past.
For your information, HIV positive persons diagnosed in their 20's have a similar life expectancy to negative people.

First time I had unprotected sex was just 5 years ago. I have been you-know since 1998. Truth is, once a lion tastes a man, nothing else will do. Condoms now feel like scuba diving.

OutharryHIV:
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.

Most likely she gave it to you but thank God you guys managed it well.

Gone are the days when HIV was a death sentence... Now people have it and still live the full course of their lives.

speechless

simplepee:
Ehen, they don come, they want to hear the WHOLE story. Oga they are married with kids, leave the rest.

OP, HIV patients look pale and dried up if not well managed, I know a victim who later died of it.

But I'm really glad hearing your story, it is a motivation to other patients out there.

The only issue is the drugs

Like taking the drugs frequently

Assuming the drugs is a once in a week thing
That's okay

But if na every day

Or multiple times per day

It may be a bit inconvenient

But one has to do what he has to do

illicit:
you can't force it down my throat that u don't drink, smoke, womanise etc.
people who do the above are not necessarily potential HIV patients oga Ade

u r just a trash talker

Where are u

lefulefu:
commonest way u contact it is unprotected sex but it is still wise using ur own clipper cos there are other skin irritation u might contact from sharing a clipper not necessarily HIV.

No

Unprotected anal sex

It's not the death sentence it used to be when you have access to the necessary treatments, and it's great to hear how people are managing to live happy, 'regular' lives with it

There's just something unusually casual/cavalier about your tone/attitude towards how you got it in the first place and handled it that makes your writeup a bit...idealistic though. I know your intention is to uplift and spread hope but some of your rhetoric could also be taken as a bit misleading

Do people really have access to antiretrovirals and PEP in Nigeria? I rarely see information about this at hospitals, even in university hospitals.

simplepee:
Are you Hiv positive?.

have u bn crushing on him?

simplepee:
Are you Hiv positive?.

How is that your business? Are you the person the OP wants to meet? Are you Coronavirus positive

Imagine somebody living on tablet for life? Lord of mercy, have mercy

@ op

This is very brave of you to come out and share your story. I saw this tread and Instantly knew that I had to speak to you, so I joined this forum.

I would like to know you and if possible we could start a support group so people can know that they are not alone in this, and its not the end of the world.

OutharryHIV:

You actually have a point but I didn't give anyone a reason to keep having unprotected sex.. I've actually preached abstinence all my life... The reason I shared a personal story was to encourage those that already have it that there is still life.. You can live as long as you want.

And someone with HIV is not a living corpse sir, choose your words wisely.. Their chances of growing old is high.. higher than sickle cell patients.. I thought you should know this actually judging from most of your comments I read here.

you are wise and mature for replying this person like this we need this kind of wisdom in our society keep it up Sir.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
My brother hiv still better pass cancer, corona virus and even hunger.
At it stands now, I they say I should chose I will go for hiv. But you see hunger, and corona virus them bad pass any type of hiv

My sister you don't know what you are saying. I once took PEP for HIV, I wished I was death. I meant everything I told you.

NextD18,
You are a very insensitive prick for tagging people with sickle cell and HIV "walking dead."

Don't you know there are people with that condition on this forum?!

Who are these retards that keep popping up with baseless conclusions? When are we ever going to learn that your 'thoughts' and 'feelings' are not necessarily FACTS regardless of how convincing they appear?? There are several possibilities in every situation and you morons just opted for the one that suits you and started posting it as FACT. May you never become victims labeled for what you know nothing about, maybe some of you will learn some bitter lessons one day.

AK481:
