BLOOD BROTHERS (BOYXBOY)

MIGUEL

Just want to share my experience . Im from Negros Occidental, living hiv positive, 21 years old.

Last December 2015 i was diagnosed of Tuberculosis and i went to city health office para magpagamot then one step para mabigyan ka ng gamot is hiv testing kasi there could be a possibility na ang cause ng pagbaba ng immununity is because you have HIV. Then after 30 minutes nalaman ko ang result and it was reactive. Hindi ako makapaniwala and they told me to wait for two another weeks for the confirmatory. Ayun after two weeks all my dreams were shattered when i found out i am positive, but life must goes on and i face the reality even it was so difficult for me. Buti na lng i have my family whose so supportive and accept me even i am hiv positive. Last May 2016 nagpa cd4 test ako and the result is below 50, so after im done with the baseline laboratories, I've started Arv (LTE) june 1, 2016. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na my hiv ako pero kahit masakit tinanggap ko at ako na mismo ang nagpalayo sa mga bagay na di dapat gawin ng gaya ko like engaging into relationship and sexual activities.. i hope my maka unawa sa akin at makapag bigay pa ng napakaraming advice of encouragement to continue living. I was at the state of depression kasi ngayon. Hehe. Thank you po..

Ngayon, I just live like a normal human being yet i never stepped above my limitations and carefully monitoring my health status.. I just surrender everything to God because I know siya lang talaga ang makakapag dugtong ng ating buhay. And I'm still thankful na buhay pa ako ngayon. God Bless Us All !
