Did you have any sexual encounters in Tanzania when you went to help out with their HIV community programs?

Good question ,but maybe that’s not our business

As I was reading the story and saw where he went to Tanzania ,my mind was that he contacted it there

Tanzania Na another ground of hiv

This is the reason why I pity many Nigerian women that always make excuses for their randy husbands. Ladies, if your husband is promiscuous, he's going to bring diseases home for you. God help you, if his own immune system is strong, you may die of the disease and he will still be alive. I knew a promiscuous man in the area where I grew up. He always visits brothels. At a point, his gentle nice wife started getting sick, and she was taken to hospital. They ran several tests and HIV test came positive. Her husband confessed that he slept with some prostitutes and maybe he contracted it from them. The woman became skeleton before she died, the randy man is still alive after 15yrs, he is in the undetectable zone, he has remarried, has more children and enjoying life.
It's sad because his wife was very calm, collected and brilliant.
I keep saying cheating should never be accepted

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.
Finding out about my status was the hardest thing I have ever had to come to terms with in my life. I was broken and torn to pieces that I felt I would never be okay. I contemplated suicide but out of nowhere I found the will and strength to live.

And what even made it even more painful was the fact I couldn't take a job I found in Qatar because of my status. I hated myself for burning my bridges because it wasn't just Qatar there are so many countries I can't immigrate to because of my status even if I wanted to.

I started taking my meds last year and I have already gotten used to them. It's become a part of my life. I don't have to try so hard

Lesson for all of us experience is the worst teacher because it gives you the lessons before teaching you. It is better to learn from people experience and not yours. Stay away from premarital sex; if u no fit hol body Go and marry.

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.

Heck! A man should be able to afford a 5k clipper, instead of sharing a barbing saloon clipper.

I kinda feel for you, I'm sure your girlfriend was unfaithful to you, despite being faithful to her, that's the reason she accepted her fate with you, if was the other way round, i trust we, the ladies, we won't take it likely with the guy that infected us, it'll be world warIII loading, anyway, it's all in the past now, I thank God for your life and i pray he stretch forth his healing hands towards you, AMEN.

Thank you 4 this OP. I discovered my status few months ago 2, I felt my life was over, it was a terrible period coupled with the fact that I had no knowledge about the medical evolution & breakthrough being done on the virus.. I thought it led to death like it was years ago.. My C.O noticed my always lost and confused state and just gave me leave to get my shit together and one Nurse (A Lieutenant) counselled me ehh, told me whatsup and cleared my doubt ehh. I realized there was hope.

Am stronger now, back to leading my men.

why won't you type this crap when it a woman involved. You must find a way to support yourself in your immoral acts. He clearly got the HIV from his girlfriend. Was he sharing sharp objects with HIV patients over there?

No wonder the girl was just pretentiously surprised and accepted the result immediately, because the guy is a simp who dated just one woman for 8years.

Imagine if it was a woman that posted this story...and tell us if you won't conclude she got it from the man.



Go and kill yourself.

The man didn't post the post for goats like you to trade blames on who got the virus. Read the post again then try to get the purpose of the story while you are at it school on modes of HIV transmission.

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?

1st week ke. Seroconversion takes 3 months. Even at that symptoms begin mostly when your immune system has been overwhelmed by the virus.
