Testimony from someone I encouraged on U=U 👇

"Hey sis
Sixth year in Marriage, not on prep or pep just IUD lol definitely u=u works"

I have 10 years experience with U=U. Never used PrEP and he remains negative. U=U is scientifically proven to prevent the transmission of HIV through s*xual transmission by 100%.

HIV Transmission

I have just read a post from someone who is being discriminated against for being HIV positive and I am shocked that in this day and age people are still that ignorant. Let me share something for those who are still ignorant. (Post in the comments).

AI Overview

HIV is not transmitted through casual contact, air, water, or insects. Specifically, it is not spread by: shaking hands, hugging, kissing (unless there are open sores and blood exchange), sharing utensils, toilet seats, swimming pools, or through the air or water by insects like mosquitoes. HIV is transmitted through specific bodily fluids: blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Casual Contact: HIV is not transmitted through activities like shaking hands, hugging, or sharing food and drinks.

Air and Water: HIV is not spread through the air or water, nor by insects like mosquitoes.

Saliva: While HIV can be found in saliva, it is not transmitted through saliva.

Bodily Fluids: HIV is transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk.
Other Fluids: Tears, sweat, and urine do not transmit HIV.

Sexual Contact: Unprotected s*x, without the use of condoms or other preventative measures, carries a risk of transmission.

Mother to Child: HIV can be transmitted from a mother to her child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.

Shared Needles: Sharing needles or syringes during drug use can transmit HIV.

Open-Mouth Kissing: While rare, HIV can be transmitted through deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the HIV-positive partner gets into the bloodstream of the HIV-negative partner.

HIV Disclosure:

I know disclosure is not easy because you risk getting rejected if the person you disclose to does not have enough knowledge about discordant couples. BUT!!!!! It must be done regardless. Your partner deserves to know so they can make an informed decision. Whether they decide to stay or leave is entirely up to them. They don't owe you anything. Even people who are negative are rejected for different reasons. It's not stigma but one's personal preference.

The question is when should you disclose? I always advise that one discloses early in the relationship. Preferably in the talking stage. But if you are already in a relationship, do it before you get s*xually involved. It doesn't matter whether your viral load is Undetectable, you still need to tell your partner your status. Not everyone understands U=U (Undetectable Untransmittable). If you are already s*xually involved and haven't disclosed yet, at least insist on using condoms. It's selfish of you to be s*xually involved with someone without protecting them.

What do you advise?👇

After a breakup with the father to my kids, I got into a relationship in 2024.
I dated that guy I’ll call him A till December 2024 when I learnt he had cheating traits and decided to leave.

Fast forward to this year.
I decided to get into a relationship with a guy who’s been merely my friend since Uni days(2015-2019) let’s call him B.

We started dating in February 2025 and I went to visit his country end of March and we were intimate.
He then visited Zambia end of May and we were intimate again.

Mid June I went for Cervical Cancer screening where I had to do VCT since it’s mandatory and I tested Positive.
I told A after I tested positive and he never seemed shocked and refused that we take another test together which leads to me concluding he has always known his status and is the one that infected me.
I haven’t yet told B of my status and we broke up few days ago.
Do you think it is advisable that I tell him to get himself tested?

There is a debate in some group about Viral suppression and Undetectable viral load. Someone asked for advice on PrEP. Her husband is positive and on ART. So someone commented that she doesn't need PrEP if the husband's viral load is suppressed because he can't infect her. Ndipo women have ganged up against her calling her a liar. Well I understand what she was trying to say. She obviously meant Undetectable but used the wrong term. Let me explain.

Suppressed viral load vs Undetectable viral load

Viral suppression and undetectable viral load, while related, are distinct concepts in the context of HIV treatment. Viral suppression refers to the reduction of HIV in the blood to a low level (typically less than 1000 copies ), while an undetectable viral load means the virus is so low it cannot be detected by standard laboratory tests, usually less than 20 copies. This is what is commonly called U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable). A person with an Undetectable viral cannot transmit the virus to their partner through s*xual transmission. But a suppressed viral load is still detectable and can be transmitted. Being undetectable is a more specific term within the broader concept of viral suppression. I hope you understand the difference. Stay safe.

QUESTION: What causes cervical cancer?
ANSWER: In the previous post, I mentioned that cervical cancer is caused by particular strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV)
QUESTION: Where does HPV come from?
ANSWER: It is usually transmitted via s*xual contact with an infected person
QUESTION: Who are these infected persons?
ANSWER: MEN! It is usually found in the fo****in but even circumcised men can still transmit it too.
QUESTION: Where do men find HPV?
ANSWER: MOYENDA YENDA (They get it while having s*x with infected females or men)
WHAT AM I TRYING TO SAY?
LADIES, PICK YOUR PARTNERS CAREFULLY BECAUSE PICKING A PROMISCOUS MAN (PAPA WANSALA!!) EXPONENTIALLY INCREASES YOUR CHANCES OF HAVING NOT ONLY HIV BUT ALSO CERVICAL CANCER.
SOME WOMEN TAKE MORE TIME PICKING TOMATOES AT THE MARKET THAN SELECTING THEIR PARTNER (IMAGINE THE LEVEL OF CARELESSNESS)
MEN!: FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, FEEL SORRY FOR YOUR WIVES! WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SATANISTS, WE ALL THINK OF SOMEONE GOING TO THE OCEAN LOL, WHEN THE REAL SATANISTS ARE THE MEN WHO WILL MARRY A LADY WHO HAS KEPT HERSELF (THEY STILL EXIST BTW) ONLY TO BRING HPV FROM THE STREETS TO HER AND INCREASE HER CHANCES OF GETTING CERVICAL CANCER.
QUESTION: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FROM EXPOSURE TO DEVELOPMENT OF CERVICAL CANCER
ANSWER: IT CAN TAKE AS LONG AS 15 TO 30 YEARS (WITH A STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM). THIS IS WHY EVERY FEMALE 25 AND ABOVE MUST BE SCREENED FOR CERVICAL CANCER. WE CAN DETECT IT EARLY AND CAN TREATED IT COMPLETELY.
WE CAN'T KEEP LOSING WOMEN FROM A DISEASE THAT IS NOT ONLY PREVENTABLE BUT ALSO CURABLE. ALL THIS SOUNDS LIKE THEORIES UNTIL IT'S YOUR SISTER OR WORSE STILL YOURSELF
SOLUTION:
1. MEN :
a. VACCINATION OF BOYS 9 TO 14 YEARS OF AGE (SIWENZOZIBA KA!)
b. CIRCUMCISION
c. SEXUAL FAITHFULNESS (YES! WE EXIST)
2. WOMEN:
a. VACCINATION OF GIRLS 9 TO 14 YEARS ( MOTHERS STOP BEING CARELESS AND LAZY GET YOUR BABIES VACCINATED, ASK ME WHERE IF U DON’T KNOW)
b. RUN FROM BENE “PAPA WANSALA”
c. SCREENING! SCREENING! SCREENING!
d. HIV TESTING

PrEP
08/07/2025

PrEP

LET'S BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT PrEP💊

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily pill (or in some cases, an injection) that helps prevent HIV before you are exposed. Think of it like birth control, but for HIV prevention. PrEP needs to be in your system before a potential exposure to HIV, whether that’s through s*x or sharing needles... If you are already on PrEP and a condom breaks or you have an unplanned hookup, you're already protected.

The key to PrEP is timing and preparation. It works best when you start it before you need it, so you can stay protected. To get started, you'll need to be HIV(-) negative, which means getting tested and making sure you’re past the window period (the time after a possible exposure when HIV might not show up on a test yet).

If you start PrEP while you're already HIV positive, it won’t work the way it’s supposed to, and could even lead to drug resistance. That's why it's important to:
✅ Get tested
✅ Talk to a healthcare professional
✅ Be honest about your last possible exposure

PrEP is about being prepared, not reacting after the fact. By starting PrEP the right way, you can stay protected and focus on what matters most to you.
