Hello everyone!

I live in Turkey. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with acute retroviral syndrome and started treatment with 22 million RNA (Biktarvy). After a month, I had 120 copies and then negative results. I am stable and have not had any problems.

I recently discovered this forum and wanted to become a member.

People with HIV who are treated well are no different from those without HIV.

Hugs! 🫂🥰

Hiya.

Sorry to hear about the HIV diagnosis but glad you have access to treatment and that it's working well for you as the viral load is supressed.

How are you otherwise feeling/doing?

Thank you Jim.

Like most people, I was psychologically bad in the first months, but it didn't last long. I feel energetic and happy and hope this will continue. I have never experienced any form of discrimination in my professional career.

Why are you and your "doctor" coworker from Turkey posting here?

I know you are both admins on another site and last time in 2016 your members were banned from here for harrassing people and posting misinformation.

I'll be direct, if I don't believe the answer you are both going to be banned and the VPN you are using will not help you

Just a “hello”. Why are you so prejudiced? I don't know about that year, so I can't comment.  I don't use VPN.
What are you wondering about and not believing?

Asked and answered.

Your coworker admin is using a VPN.

Your site members were on here harrassing people and spreading misinformation.
I am extremely protective of our members here, abuse will not be tolerated, spreading mis or outdated information will not be tolerated.

So after last time I suddenly I have a few of you joining again...

I'm sorry to hear that. I have also been an activist since my diagnosis. Of course we don't want anything. What can I want other than solidarity and sharing?
I understand very well that you are protective of the members. Considering our similar duties, I would expect you to be friendlier.

It's not prejudice. It's based on facts and experience with your members that organized and planned harrassment of people here

Yeah I've seen your site both before and after the relaunch a few years back...  :-X

This is friendly and polite but considering the history I am being direct, firm and clear with you to avoid misunderstandings. What we do both here and offline is nothing remotely the same as you.

You are both permanently banned and when I get back to my laptop I'll be setting that up.

So you're saying you're racist?
It is obvious that you have no contribution to the site. :)
Whether it is information or research...
I think you should leave the site as soon as possible.

That card...lol.

You are making yourselves look very silly. You are not being banned because of your race, I don't even know what race you are and, to be frank I don't care. I'm not interested in your race.

I am interested in keeping this a safe place for our genuine members living with HIV and facilitating their peer support activities. I am sorry you don't appreciate that and we're having this conversation based on documented facts relating to your site and site member's misconduct here and you are the admin.

It's not some baseless prejudice or racism as you falsy claim.
Anyhow, banned permanently.

It's not a defence, I have no reason or anything to defend, I just explained something to you. You don't have to like it, that's life.

No need to get personal but your responses have confirmed to me that it's in the best interest of our member's safety here to ban you.

We had enough of your (your members and sites) abuse last time, not going to happen again.
 
Permanently banned.

Racism, well truth is I'm too busy & lazy to commit to that, so instead I hate everyone equally regardless of their race or ethnicity.

Racism
am I a stupid American? how is anything about someone in Turkey racist? Maybe you were sexist too? Classist? :D

Clearly they were primed to go off with or without your intervention.

You were leaning in to speak to me
Acting like a mover shaker
Dancing to Madonna then you kissed me
And I think about it all the time

You missed nothing. There is the Turkish ethnicity, but nobody mentioned that and I don't know their specific ethnicity. I just know where they are currently located and who they are working for/with.

I suspect that they had an agenda and unlike last time I wasn't going to wait to find out. The racist & prejudice comments is just a reaction because they got caught and confronted.

I'm locking this thread.

I'm aware locking a thread is extremely rare (unpopular) on these forums, but this has a deeper history than shared here of abuse/threats and ongoing suspicions that have now been confirmed in the background that forum members thankfully will be unaware of and leaving this thread open isn't helping us or productive.

Ultimately the decision to ban and confront certain individuals wasn't and never is taken lightly but our priority is to keep this a safe and supportive space for our genuine forum members.
