    Hi, Back in 2020 I was tested for HIV and I was HIV negative. I only got tested for the nasty migraines I was getting. Dr said Have you ever been tested for HIV? I said no why? Well she said your a married woman and have severe migraines, and migraines usually are a sign of HIV. I was scared as f•••! Took my blood sent it too the lab and in 2 weeks I got my results and thank god I was HIV negative🥰❤️ My husband told me babe if u ever had HIV I wouldn’t love you any less😭 we would always be together! 16 years of marriage and 2 boys later! Now that’s true love❤️ Thanks for sharing your story and I hope that your doing ok? God Bless and stay safe from Covid-19!

    For you to get it the very 1st time having unprotected sex with that one guy, he must've been VERY sick and had a super high viral load because it doesn't spread that easy

    • @marshalmallow7192
      @marshalmallow7192 3 месяца назад +2

      It depends on the sexual act. Receptive anal sex hiv transmission occurs approx. 1 out of 72 times. That could be the first, the 18th, or the 72nd. Or his partner could have been recently exposed. He told him he was “clean” and he may have believed he was. During stage one of the virus, HIV is rapidly replicating and thus, leading to more HIV in the body. The person may not even experience symptoms during this phase of transmission and if they do it may be a light headache or a cough. At this point, the person is highly contagious and more likely to spread the virus. Just because a person doesn’t appear sick does not mean they do not have HIV.

As an old timer now these days I lived negative existence from the disease for fear at first and after educating myself and with the help of an honest loving partners it hasn't stopped me from dating positive men who take care themselves. Honestly, if I'd feel I had met my soul mate it wouldn't have been a problem making our relationship long term. Peace.🥰
