    2. Weight Loss
    3. Muscle Loss
    4. Vertigo
    5. Body Aches

    I was diagnosed with HIV in November of 2021, was only 19. It’s crazy because I never not once felt sick, had no kind of symptoms. It’s important to get tested. Hell even after being diagnosed, I still wasn’t educated, I learn more and more about it each day. I be grateful for still being here, and though it’s no longer a death sentence. It’s still a LIFE sentence. Stay protected and get tested at all cost

    Mine started in 2010 or around there. Bed sweats. Every single night I’d wake up with my bed soaking wet - even if I used just a sheet. Then I popped up an egg sized lump in my neck. My doctor sent me to a surgeon that cut it out and biopsied it. I had DLBCL - stage 3 lymphoma.
    Since my cancer was stage 3 (meaning above and below my diaphragm) they estimated I had cancer for at least 5 years and had no clue. On my first visit with my oncologist, he told me that with that type of cancer, they always do an HIV test.
    I went back the following week to start chemo - and he told me that I was positive. Beyond that, if you have HIV with that cancer, you were considered to have AIDS. I had grown up in the age that an AIDS diagnosis meant certain death.
    I HAD THE BEST oncologist in the world, he rolled his chair over to me and said, “15 or 20 years ago, we’d have sent you home and told you to get your affairs in order, but now, you will end up just fine.” Then he grabbed my hands and looked at me straight in the eyes again,and said, “you are going to die someday. We all are, but you won’t be dying as long as I’m your doctor and NOT any time soon. Just do what your doctors tell you to do, and you’ll probably outlive me (I was 50 at the time).”

      Thanks for the video and you are so brave to speak about it publicly like this. It is so so very interesting to me to see how they ( the powers that be in America) are treating individuals of the general masses in relation to HIV/AIDS these days. These so called treatments which are being produced for pharmaceutical companies are actually bits and pieces of the actual cure though........ Just think about it guys..when was the last time you have seen or heard of HIV/ AIDS babies in America?
      The babies and kids ( as well as participants of certain research level program )always secretly got the cure here once the cure was created by a University in the early 1990s. Wake up guys don't allow big pharma and bureaucracy in America control your lives and destinies for corporate profits like this! contact your representation Washington and demand the laws be changed and or take big pharma down by changing the laws of this land and way things are done by yourselves.. They want you to live with the disease while they make money off of you. If you don't believe me then there is information out online now on this matter and you can also ask John Hopkins University Medical system about it as well as watching the PBS networks program called " The end of Aids".....The cure has been around for decades now guys and luckily some brave individuals came forward in 2016 ( time the Prince the singer died and those rumors AIDS on him went public even though he didn't actually have the disease or virus...) and this past year to try to tell the truth to the masses verses having to release their cures in small communist countries ( who have no political issues with it or big pharma corporations around to hide it) instead of America due to our politics, lack of of leadership within politics on the issue and lack of activity on the US citizens in mass of trying go to the truth and all hidden cures for particular diseases out there. The issue of certain demographics and communities being too reckless when it come to sexual activities is also an issue when it comes to anyone trying g to release cures in America so you guys have to be more responsible and have more respect and uphold integrity when it comes to human lives period if you truly want these cured out in mass more..In other words, you as a society have to responsible every day and you can't be reckless in life for the cures for a lot of things to be released to you.Otherwise I kind of agree with them by hiding so much of this stuff from you guys in certain demographics for you are too reckless with human beings lives on this planet and in life to be cured..And that society must earn it and how them they deserve it.

Seeing a doctor the minute something seems off about your body is a privilege that many good people don't have. When you are poor you get good at rationalizing things that keep you from spending money. Yes dear Raif should have seen a doctor earlier but for poor guys it is not easy to do. Please understand!

You seem very comfortable with your diagnosis and happy in general, and I am happy for you because it seems like you have been able to overcome this. The disease has come a long way since the 1980s, but It still needs more attention in order to remove the negative stigma behind it. I wish you the best of luck!

      Each person has a different journey. There are some that have additional barriers to figure out. I believe back in the 80"s and 90"s drugs and alcohol was a big part in the lifestyle. It is possible that then individuals coping and escape skills included un resolved hurt and pain from their past. Today society and communities has more to offer resulting in healthier lifestyles. If you are one of these individuals seek support. Build support.

I am not into drugs or alcohol and don’t do either. Sex was my Achilles heel. I am now HIV+ after letting my guard down about 15 months ago with someone I always liked and got the opportunity to date him when he broke up with his former bf. Anyways it’s a big price to pay and I do have some regrets but I’m on HIV medication and it seems to be working. I don’t judge anyone anymore.

Help and treatment are available everywhere. Get tested ;get help ;get treated.

I am still undiagnosed and they did also test for aids. Just talking about such a serious illness in general much less one that's stigmatized and the way you speak is so amazing. You are so brave and straight forward and such a fighter. Completely exhausted, and with these multitude of symptoms you just never gave up. It seems you spent your last ounce of energy trying again and again and I can't believe how strong you are and how much hope you inspire in someone like me who has unrelated conditions but multiple conditions not always diagnosed. I would have tremors, difficulty at times speaking, my head vigorously shaking back and forth.. people can be so cruel and oddly those closest toyou can be unsympathetic or scared of you, or tired of you being sick etc. Your public message touches me so much.

I’ve been slowly clawing my way back and I go for blood work and see the doctor tomorrow afternoon. I’m a little nervous but my CD4 count was 223 the first time and we hope it’s over 500 this time which is still the minimum they like to see but I’m crossing fingers and toes. I have a big lump that has appeared on my right pec above the nipple and it’s making me think about cancer related to HIV. Life is a trip.

He lost a lot of weight, had severe alopecia, developed vitiligo and was very ill in and out of the hospital as well. I'm grateful to be 46 and still HIV negative and get tested every year. I encourage everyone to continue to get tested and be safe as well.

    I haven't had THAT many symptoms before I found out about my diagnosis but I distinctively remember having really bad vertigo and fainting a couple of times at work. While that happened I also had really high fever along with the "lost zest for life" that you mentioned. The last symptom(s) I had that rang alarm bells was PRETTY intense. My fever had gotten REALLY high and my joints were creaking in pain. No matter what I did I would always wake up in a giant pool of sweat and it hurt to walk to the rest room. Out of all of the lymph nodes I would say the ones behind you legs are the worst.
