I can't believe this. A great testimony l must share. A few months back l was diagnosed with herpes virus. I really thought my life was over. I had used different kinds of medication which didn't help. Then l browsed the internet and found a great doctor by the name @dr_jacob who listened to my problems and sent me herbal medication via courier. I took the medication as instructed and within 2 weeks, the virus was gone.

I can relate in a lot of ways. For me it was my first bf I had ever had. I was 19 then. Stigma is worse than having to take a pill every day.

@@peterbob9850 and the earth is flat...
This was a good presentation. I do want to correct one mistake made: He said that if he took a rapid HIV test it would be negative because he is undetectable. That isn't correct. Rapid tests test for the antibodies, which are always present. Therefore, it would show reactive. And let me be very clear - Undetectable Equals Untransmittable - therefore he cannot transmit the virus to his partner.
Totally!
This speech was so poignant to the fact that so much ignorance exists out there. As someone who's negative, I'm constantly having to address my own biases that I may have against people w/ HIV. Regardless how they were infected or when, we need to understand that all people are worthy of love & respect and we shouldn't let a disease blind us. Thanks for speaking up!
Thanks for this talk really help

We are with you
That test he took looked like the 3rd Generation HIV Test. The HIV1 RNA Test( apart of 4th Generation Test) is the best test as of 2020.
Thank for good information
Thanks for good information
I’ve read that a month supply of meds is 2-3k. That’s ridiculous…just to live.
I’m scared to death. Can’t imagine myself telling anyone I’m positive
its been 2 week since i was diagnosed .... im scared also ur not alone
Me too, diagnosed 2 months ago and pregnant.
@@andreeafocsa59 I’m so sorry you’re going thru this
We ll make it through all this because we are strong and we deserve to live a decent life. We didn't choose to get infected, it happened and we must accept it. It s not easy at all but that s life and we must live it at its fullest even with this virus inside us .
Don't let the virus stop you from doing anything, you deserve to accomplish all your dreams ❤
@@andreeafocsa59 how are you now?
Thanks
Thts true n reality talk
I feel his true experience of life. I think the closer I investigate the real life, the much more correct my expectation is. We don't know. But we pretend to know. We should be honest. At least we should try to be so.
nice
You know what’s worse is I was born with it
Scott Odell you are worthy no matter what! This is already a normal decease I just have to say cancer it's worse and lot of others diseases! Just hang in there! There's a future ahead because you deserve to be who you'd like to be.❤❤❤
the cure will coming soon bro , in the next 10 years things will change rapidly .
Here my fb pots stigma. You can dm me. Dude your not alone at this battle. All we need to do is to be strong... In all billions of people who have this. Cant imagine. Yup we know that we have it. But we can live as long as we can. Im from philippines. A father of a two wonderful gift great from up above and a brother to my 6 beautiful sisters and not afraid. Just to be me. Who cares im inlove. But im strong even if its hard. Sometimes im shaking to think. But its normal. Were a people. And bless.
Wow
Scott, this is no different than hsv in a way. First off treatable. Keep away the bad people who thinks you are bad for having this virus.
The HIV = AIDS thinking is all wrong. I was fine, got sick with a microscopic parasite (from the salad at work), got treatment for that. A month later I tested positive even though I was perfectly fine. That was 1986.
1991 retested (Elisa) positive. Started on AZT and the kept adding meds. I got sicker and sicker. The meds made me so sick, weak and vulnerable. I continued to work for my husband, a MD who wouldn’t talk about it.
Eventually I had a massive GI bleed and came close to death. Even though I was seeing all kinds of doctors, nobody seemed to know that I was in liver failure. Liver cancer twice then waiting and finally got a transplant in 2013.
I did my own research. I had no idea how bad these medicines are. They are DNA terminators, the same as chemotherapy. No wonder I have lipodystrophy, bone density issues, GI problems, chemo brain, muscle wasting etc etc.
I was extremely healthy when starting these meds. I was 31. I had figure skated for 10 years, worked in the ER lifting and hauling patients and equipment and also lifted weights and worked out. No drugs. No alcohol. The medications have been killing me. Chemo for life. Not good.
I stopped the ARVs in late 2018. The first 6 months were hard cuz I had no support, much the opposite. I kept reading and looking everything up. Mainstream does not support me. 27 years I was a perfect patient.
8 months ago I tested again.
NEGATIVE. I tested negative.
The testing is NOT specific to HIV.
PLEASE check out “House of Numbers” and any information you can find. Peter H. Duesburg (UcalBerkley) Rethinking AIDS.
I’m not telling you what to do, but just look. Had I known all this info in the 1980s I never would have tested. At 25 I was told I wouldn’t see my 30th birthday.
I agree with you. The test is similarly inaccurate for Covid-19 for the same reasons I guess. I have studied Duesberg, Mullis, watched all the videos, and read a lot of comments. I would guess that 95% of people are still grossly uninformed, and some people fabricate conspiracy theories that are laughable. It appears there was a lie that passed as the truth back in 1981. AIDS does not appear to be caused by a virus at all. If this is true it is mind boggling that have a new generation of people who are believing a lie about HIV. HEAL was an organization to counter the rhetoric that HIV causes AIDS. I wonder if that organization is still in existence. Take Care...
Can I take to you
I need your help please
it's estimated at about 50% false positives for many reasons.
Hey how are you now? Whatsup with you i got tested positive this month
Don't get me wrong I agree with everything he's saying
Please am confused .can u have baby when u have HIV.I don't no want to do
blood test should show undectable before becoming pregnant
You can you need to take meds to prevent transmission to the baby
9:25 you’re off your rocker dude 😳
Too scared to test for it
please do it i can tell for experience its not gonna be Easy to wait the results but think this :epuld yo prefer to wait for something that is gonna happend or not in a couples of years and dont knowing if it turns out you had IT and it become aids ? or know Now if you have it or not.? if you dont have IT you can live in peace and be More aware and carefull, and of you have IT you can take Care of yourself before you die and live and had good memories a long the way. i hope for the best. now os this moments on life to be brave no matter what
Don’t test. The testing for HIV is non specific. The tests, all of them, are faulty.
See Rethinking AIDS
See House of Numbers (CZcams).
All kinds of things can make for a false positive (exposure to TB, malnutrition, having the flu or a flu shot, pregnancy, microscopic parasite (that was mine) and even stress).
Anne Lorigan thx I’ve decided not to test for it. My partners all tested negative. But regardless I don’t see any reason to do a test if there’s nothing wrong. Thanks for your input
@@drsuessl i have tuberculosis and they tested me positive 😢
@@drsuessl one can get false positive result?
Positive should stick to positive community. Social media like Facebook is the problem and it will continue to grow because of social media. DELETE SOCIAL MEDIA. READ YOUR BIBLE AND PRAY DAILY. IF PEOPLE WILL WALK IN obedience to God's COMMANDMENTS THIS WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM. GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS AND PRAY DAILY.
DON'T BE DECEIVED. GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS!
He is blaming the law instead of blaming the immoral behavior of people engaging in risky behavior and not wanting to get tested. What nonsense
Did you not hear that he was in a monogamous relationship when infected? Not everyone who contracts HIV is promiscuous.
Thanks for good information
