I Just Tested Poz / Re: Found i am poz 10 hours ago« Last post by Mightysure on Yesterday at 04:52:27 pm »I am very sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Before I go further, just know that you can live and fulfilling life with this virus, while I understand the circumstances you're in.
It sounds like you caught it early, which is great. It should take some time for medication because they should run tests to see what medications are not right for you. In the meantime, learn as much as you can and what resources are available, in and outside of your country. 700 is a good CD4. I understand that you just received devastating news, but I promise that we have seen people in your circumstances come out ok. 3

AIDS Activism / Re: Spitting, Discarded syringes & myths on transmission in the media« Last post by Jim Allen on Yesterday at 06:38:04 am »Just when I thought things could not get more stupid this week, now this.
https://nypost.com/2023/09/22/disturbing-warning-over-tiny-marks-on-toilet-paper-in-public-restrooms Quote Per the cautionary clip, which has scared up over 7 million views, the social media know-it-all shared an image of a toilet paper roll covered with small crimson flecks alongside long, thin and colorless streak marks. Video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxTdDLkvatt/ To be clear: You can not get HIV from wiping your ass or being stuck by a discarded needle. There has never been a case of HIV being acquired from a discarded needle in the community, and it's a very old myth. This guy is just rehashing old myths: https://www.beintheknow.org/news-and-blogs/5-weirdest-hiv-transmission-myths-ever 6
Do I Have HIV? / Re: Small Question« Last post by Jim Allen on Yesterday at 04:42:12 am »You're welcome.
Quote My finger with the cut from the nail salon is a bit swollen. Should I be worried? This is an HIV forum, and your swollen finger has nothing to do with HIV from the nail salon. Cuts can easily be infected by bacteria entering the tissues beneath the skin. Good pharmacists can look and assist you with minor cuts; if not, see your healthcare provider and have them check and treat it. 7

Also, I didn’t realize I posted twice. Sorry. 8
Forums Gatherings / Re: Biweekly Peer Support Call« Last post by kentfrat1783 on September 27, 2023, 08:36:35 pm »Quote no. it's the end of the world as we I know it. ROFLMAO and apologies to REM Oh, that takes me back to the summers I worked for Upward Bound and the Director loved REM. Never a day went by without something related to REM. Quote Is it the end of the week yet Well technically not the end of the week yet, as that isn't until two more days but I'm bad as I got busy and didn't get on the computer last week after I hit PTown then Salem, MA. Time just got away from me. But as @Leatherman stated, "life's not all about HIV; but sometimes it is". Nor does HIV define who we are. We hope to see you Friday at 7 PM EST. 9

AIDS Activism / Re: Spitting, Discarded syringes & myths on transmission in the media« Last post by Jim Allen on September 27, 2023, 03:11:47 pm »"draft article"? Wasn't it Walker's press release? LOL Not to mention, that is a piss poor "apology". When you apologize to whoever felt they were offended/affected, you're not really sorry for your actions. 100% the apology is weak and its still misleading regarding HIV transmission, so are some of the media coverage as they are still mixing up their facts with needle stick injuries in healthcare settings. I am not excusing this, but be it Doctors, Companies or the Media, it seems rare for them to apologize and when they do its never a good one. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66925287 The apology in full: https://twitter.com/icelandrichard/status/1706369751486795793 Quote My comment piece on shoplifting published by the Mail Online on 15 September was a draft article that I believed had been superseded by a video interview. |
