Just add the incurable std status to the driver’s license. Mandate everyone to go get tested every 6months or at the time of testing. Old driver’s license gets destroyed, if stolen or lost you can still check online the most updated std status showing the testing date. Go get tested, doctors report to the state, the state puts in on the driver’s license. Can request to see drivers license with the most updated std status and testing date. Solution for minimizing and preventing spread of STDs. If someone refuses to show you their drivers/ state license you know they have an std.
I am heartbroken because my friend has HIV and it has completely changed his mood and behavior, he is still a nice person with a sweet heart but I can tell that he is more closed in and non chalant about things. I told him that I'm here for him but it has really affected him emotionally even though he say nothing wrong with him. He tries to make jokes about his HIV, he say he not taking his medications because of the side effects I told him their were other options of medications, he in denial he say he doesn't have HIV. I don't know what to do? Any suggestions,? Please help?
Hey Ellie, I just saw your interview in the BBC documentary. I think you spoke extremely well, very well said. You were awesome and amazing. Sending you very best wishes and happiness. daniel X
Omg she keeps talking about undetectable, like I bet she don’t even tell the dudes she sleeping with AND her attitude about it is unsettling, you have HIV and are laughing and shit
I do make the effort to tell partners, however I am of no obligation to. I am undetectable and cannot pass on the virus. I’m going to keep laughing too, because my life is great and I’m incredibly happy and proud to be able to spread such a wonderful message
I'm so sorry that people in the comments are so mean, i know you posted this 2 years ago but it suddenly pops up. But thank you for telling your experience, you're so brave.💪💓
I am - and I never want to be + ;so with this said it is very difficult for us as a - to not be shit crazy about the fact that it's centimeters away from becoming a +. The middle finger makes me think she is Positive with HIV - not stay positive, but that she is POSITIVE with HIV and it's the middle F u finger also [sex]. Stay positive Ellie in this world because that is the only way to THRIVE. it's tough to be positive with these diseases around.
We live in the world of bacteria and viruses. Its normal for any living organism to contract anything. Its nothing . Just the game of mind. For me I don’t care 🤷♂️. Live your life to the fullest you are doing a fantastic job.
Wow you are a beautiful brave bright strong and intelligent young lady with a positive outlook/attitude i commend you. I'm a 36 yr old straight male myself & have been going through absolute hell since August 2022 with symptoms of Hiv & whole heartedly believe i was exposed to it deliberately back in August 2022 when a female sex worker forced herself up on me when i just wanted a massage & to receive oral. I firmly believe she damaged the condom deliberately with her teeth mounted me didn't really move much then got off. Her blood was all over the tip of the condom & it looked to me to be swishing around inside but I didn't see a major split so i was shocked & confused then as i was momentarily distracted she swiftly removed it & i didn't see it again. 6 days after i got a rash on my palms and soles aswell as joint pain stomach issues & just feeling like i was gonna die i noticed this woman was watching me on WhatsApp going offline to the second I'd come online this happened over a period of days around that time at least in excess of 20 times i have tested numorous times since then ( a total of 15 or more times) & each time I've been negative however when i seen the rash on my palms and soles come up i immediately reached for a drug i have lying in the cupboard called ivermectin ( i bought it as different countries used it round the world to deal with covid 19) i could not understand why i had the symptoms but negative then i goggled 'ivermectin Hiv' & the first thing comes up is that ivermectin is a specific inhibitor of the Hiv-1 virus. As i scrolled down i found a page where these doctors in Africa where treating people with parasite infections in there stomach with a yearly dose of ivermectin but one thing they noticed was it lowered there over all mean viral load & went on to say newly infected people wouldn't need anti-retro viral drugs for up to 12 months & they would remain in the symptom free phase for that time. Well with me i certainly have not been in the symptom free phase. So i took 5 pills of ivermectin in August 2022 ( 1 pill a day for 5 days as soon as i noticed my hands & feet get a rash) then silly of me last march i took one pill of ivermectin as i thought i was getting a cold & one in June of last yr to.. So basically i haven't had a full 12 months off ivermectin.. Next month will be 12 months so im waiting but the symptoms have been killing me, they are as follows exhaustion, bad stomach cramps & frequent diarrhea, nausea, joint pain ( particularly in ankles, feet, knees & neck, lower back) tingling in my feet particularly my right foot, i did get mouth ulcers like 3 or 4 at a time. I'm lying here on the sofa atm with tingling in my foot which drives me crazy & affects my sleep. As I say im waiting to next month & that will be 12 months from the last time i had an ivermectin. The last test i did was the 8th of this month ( may) yet again nothing was picked up (Negative) I've been to the Doctors numorous times & done tests I've been in hospital & again they couldn't find anything apart from at the start when this all happened they seen raised crp & said the infection markers were up & that it looked like i had a recent infection at that time. I actually a couple of months ago went round to this womans house to ask her if she had hiv & she said no although i do remember her in the past claiming ahe was tired & didn't know why, also she had neck pain also she had lost a considerable amount of weight. Another time she told me she had a very low red blood cell count & that she maintained she had iron deficiency anaemia... I know this woman dosen't tell the truth as i remember catching her out on lies before.. Anyway a couple of months ago I went round to her place she's working out of & out of my pocket i produced a self hiv test kit i had just bought from boots ( a finger prick one) anyway I asked her to do the test & she looked visibly shaken sweating turning pale the she started shouting & arguing & refusing to do the test which really freaked me out eventually i managed to persuade her to do it & it came up negative but one thing i noticed she had alot of medication/tablets & this test said on the back of tge box ' not suitable for people taking antiretro viral treatment' so she may well have got on treatment from she did this to me back in 2022... Its just an awful situation I'm in.. I've heard experts in the field of hiv saying that if you have symptoms you're test will be positive but then i think of them dr's working in Africa that seen ivermectin affected hiv for 12 months.. It's a dreadful awful situation I'm in at one point i took near 100 codeine tablets & a bottle of JD because of these symptoms & this situation. It's awfully i was always healthy never had any allergies went to the gym & now I'm just completely suicidal thinking about hanging myself it's terrible.. i had alot going for me good looking 6ft tall gym fit man & now all i do everyday is Google methods of suicide it's a sad sad existence this sorry for the long message.
The marketing in the 80s was too successful. They created this stigma. Now they have to do the same to kill it. No one has this stigma with hepatitis b or other STDs that aren't curable
I’m so glad you’re able to stay positive with this diagnosis and get the treatment you need and that it works for you.. However, the magic pill does not work for everyone so I really wish people would stop telling people that HIV is manageable. It makes a lot of young people think they can still live a wild life. Some can’t handle the treatment and some are resistant. 🙏🏼
Hi, this isn’t entirely true, resistance typically is against specific medications, and only occurs through incorrect use of medication. The strain of HIV passed to me was already resistant to one medication and I just use a different one. Everyone can handle the medication, side effects are very minimal and if any occur there are 7-8 different types of medication available to try. People living with HIV can have entirely normal sex lives
It’s impossible for transmission to happen from a father to a baby, vertical transmission (mother to baby) is virtually eradicated in the UK for positive mothers as the medication is so advanced.
Thank you. I was just diagnosed today. Though my test was reactive last week, I’ve gone through a lot in the past few days. I know I’ll live and be okay, but the shame is hard to get around. Like you I hope to be positive :)
