No one wakes up and chooses to be HIV positive.

I was born with HIV and life happened. And instead of hiding, I chose to speak out. Not because I’m proud of being HIV positive, but because I found peace with myself and wanted to bring back a smile and a sense of love to others going through the same.

Being HIV positive is not a badge of shame it’s a part of my journey. Holding on to pain only blocks your breakthrough, your happiness, your growth. So I made peace. I chose to live, to love, to chase my dreams.

To anyone out there bragging about being HIV negative or mocking those living with HIV just remember: you don’t hold your future or anyone else’s future in your hands. Life can humble anyone.

Let’s lead with kindness. Let’s choose understanding. HIV doesn’t define us our courage, resilience, and dreams do.

Topic 7: I'm Afraid to take HIV test what can I do ??
It's quick and easy: Getting an HIV test is a quick easy and almost always free it is also the only way to know for sure whether or not you have been infected.It is better to know:it's normal to feel worried about HIV.But why let yourself fear the unknown?Testing early for HIV can help out your mind at ease and reduce the anxiety of not knowing.Whether your results is negative or positive,it's always better to know so that you can move on with your life or start treatment if necessary.And remember,your result may not be what you expect

Topic 4:How can I tell if someone else has HIV?!!
There is no way to know for sure if someone else has HIV unless they have an HIV test.
Many people with HIV look perfectly healthy.other people who have HIV look perfectly healthy.Other people who have HIV may have symptoms that are identical to other common illnesses .you cannot tell by looking whether someone is HIV positive or not.

Topic 3:How Can I TELL IF I HAVE HIV?? Many people who have HIV don't even know it because they don't show any symptoms for years. Even though you don't show any symptoms, you can still pass on the virus to someone else. Testing for HIV is the only way to know,whether you have been infected.

There is a window period, where it takes 3 months for HIV antibodies to show up on a HIV test.The HIV antibody testing may be negative even though a person is infected.healthcare workers will recommend retesting after three months window period to ensure the test is accurate.
