I am also hiv positive living here in the Philippines. Everyday is a battle for me 😢. I was diagnosed October of 2017 now thank God I'm still alive. During my first year I don't expect people to understand what it feels like to be me; to live my life and face my daily struggles. I don't even wish they understood, because understanding what I go through every day would take experiencing it first hand and I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone...all I know is I made a mistake, I always pray to God for complete healing and guidance.. 🦋💙
Be strong and pray to God for healing. 🙏 I wish to give you power hug.
That’s what you get for letting a man unload into your exhaust pipe
@@fleurfortes1943to be fair God won’t heal HIV
Thank you for educating people like me.... that I will learn to be kind with my words and questions. and accepting them and support them. That Is what they needed the more.
So what with HIV ?
Life still goes on..
I salute u to have the courage to speak up here Adrian.
This is a very encouraging msg for other positive ppl out there.
Stay Positive and live on Happily .
Life is a challenge. To anyone thinking of ending it, please know your life is valuable and precious.
A great tip never ask how they got it. It doesn't matter how they got it but how we can help them continue to live comfortably after being diagnosed.
not really..you have to..cos its data...
@@trainingwithlatiflivefit15 asking how they got it for data keeping is not our job scope but the professionals. So as friends and family members we should avoid making them feel too uncomfortable. If they want to tell you, they will do it.
Do u have hiv? He is sharing tips base on his personal experience. For people who doesnt have hiv we may not fully understand how they feel and the stress they suffer.
@@celestialstar124 Totally agree on that but on the wider picture of humanity and to safe guard the future generations.. we have to ask how they got it...think big picture and not only to emphatise on a single individual..We have lives to protect
@@trainingwithlatiflivefit15 we already know how hiv can be transmitted via medical journals and education.
So if we doesn't have any hiv positive friends who tell us how they got hiv then we cannot teach our kids how to avoid hiv?
We are not professional medical staff to follow up so when we ask it's only to fulfill our own curiosity but to the victim it could cause them more trauma.
What if the person you asked is raped and your question cause him to enter ptsd episode?
@@trainingwithlatiflivefit15 i can understand your claim about medical aids on how we can better prevention such illness from spreading. But those are professionals job scope so it's better to let them ask and follow up.
I think as friends and family members, it's more about being supportive.
min 4, is when all mums n human watching these 😭😭😭. thank you for sharing not to ask. im always stressing out bcoz i want them to know im here but i dont want to ask the wrong questions and make others down instead of uplifting them. hope more sharing on do n donts. thank you.
Thks for the great education. Having hiv is an illness just like every other illness and the patientt needs ALL the support he can get. It’s already very challenging for them.
It must have took a lot of courage to talk about his condition. While this is suppose to educate others or make other people who carries HIV feel that they are not alone, I can still see many insensitive comments. 1, dont rub one's sins or mistakes in their face. It's already done, whatever's next is between them and God. 2, dont be rude and ask how it happened. The fact he said he had unprotective sex is more than enough. Just because he was willing to appear in the video, he still isn't obliged to tell extra details. Lastly, dont judge people. Whatever your opinion is, it doesn't hurt to keep it to yourself. You might never know you'll be the next one to get it or your loved ones. Stay open minded. People like those insensitive people below makes me lose hope on humanity.
There are HIV patients who been taking meds for 15 -16 years, they look healthy living normal life.
HIV virus can not be killed by drug. Drug just prevent it turning to Aids.
@@juvezhang1715 The function of the meds is to suppress or weaken the virus (decrease the viral load). In some countries it's free, the patients just needs to submit... I think like a proof from their Doctor.
@@queenjadesempire1534 yes ,true, this drug must be consumed the rest of patient life. Best is don't get infected from any virus😀
@@juvezhang1715 That's they still need to take care of there immune system, because they still have the virus.
I think with Hiv the pain is not the virus is how you got it. And taking the pill become a daily reminder of that pain. Etc betrayal, rape etc.
You touched my heart , Adrain, by sharing your story in order to help others. I will be praying for you. Hugs
Stay strong, fighting
Sending lots of ❤️❤️❤️. Keep moving forward and continue what you are doing now, Adrian.
I don't think a mum will sincerely kick her child out of house. I am glad you came out of it now n your family is loving and caring for you.
There are dysfunctional families and toxic parents. We need to acknowledge this
You are getting better and stronger.
Your mom is supportive, you are lucky.
Keep smiling.. keep shining 💪
SG still a judgements country hard to change people perception about HIV especially the older generation is like death sentence to them.
Its hard to not judgement on people with HiV. Uneducated people tend to look bad and negative on this disease. We cant change people's believe and opinion on certain things easily. This is not happening in SG , in MY and other countries too. Let us pray, hope, learn and support people with HiV.
To be fair, people have died because of it. Freddie Mercury & Eazy-E are prime examples.
You are a blessing to many people. Thank you for your work.
Stay strong
Be strong and we care.
Thank you afa
I hope you'll stay strong, pray when you need help. You're a strong person, you're who you are.
Young man. Stay strong and don't get pissed by those young punks. Time will come and everyone has to answer for whatever they did or said. You saw the right path to go and chose to be righteous. Life can be a long or short journey, and it doesn't mean that living a long life is always fruitful and meaningful. Of course, taking one's own life is never an option. The friend who called you was an angel for saving you and gave you a different meaning in Life.
the feeling must have been horrible when the results is out for him.
Thanks for sharing.
JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU GUYS... I wish to I could meet with you in person even the ones in the comments, am your sister Dodo in Botswana 🇧🇼..... Pls take it like any other disease..... I love you so much.... The owner of your life Jesus Christ loves you more... Call to him in prayer he will hear and give you peace that surpasses all understanding, hv hope never giv up you will find love again, its never to late, evn mi I dnt mind marrying some with HIV, love is love guys, nothing can overcome love...
Such a sad story! 😔
Hope for the best for you, bruh!
It's better that you said nothing..
@@bantuck wow. Same to you.
@@jenjen12345 Yup. Just to let you know. He's not asking for any sympathy. Understand what he is trying to say please.
@@bantuck I am not giving sympathy, I am empathetic. Understand what I am trying to say please. Geez, that wasn’t even a rude comment. Don’t even know why you have to comment on mine.
@@jenjen12345 Maybe it's the way you put "Such a sad story". Neither encouraging or meaningful. Think about what he wanted to do in his newfound life with his limited time and bring bright sunshine to those who will remembered him one day.
Keep it up! ❤️
Learn from your mistakes
You’re v brave to do this
This kid has a good heart !
I feel, the one piece of information that is absent, what to do if there is unprotected sex. Everyone just says get tested, what can people do?
You are great and have a lovely family💕💕💕 take care 💟💟
Is ok,stay positive n just keep going.💪
Shine like you have never shone before. I'm here for you. Stay strong 💪🏻and keep that smile😊❤️.
You stay strong 💪 😊
no matter what we do at the very end we all gonna die, we are not immortal, if we committed sins, repent and surrender everything to God, just remember the Bible verse in the Psalm 23,,,,,,, Heaven and Earth will pass, but God's Words is eternal.
Who you get it from? 😁
So sad! how old was he anyway?
He was 25 when he was diagnosed
How you got it is obvious
Respect
keep fighting 💪
So how's your health now?

I don't know what cause that disease...but this fellow ...I can read him....like when u wanna cry but u will smile... Just holding regret in heart...he is too sad inside... Coz people who laugh easily ....they are fighting and struggling inside.....I'm studying about human behaviour... Somewhat I can understand people by words and actions.....I hope u have wonderful life....and ur smile is better...but if u ever feel low just share it with love once....they are best team u could ever get....😃😃😃😃 we will die when our time comes....or else nothing can harm us....everything is god will....when ur alive....don't die from inside... it's OK to feel sad,grumpy....after all we are human beings...just don't give up....keep fighting until ur last breath...😃😃😃😃 I wish u good luck...
You study only the negative side of people 😛. But i think you are wrong completely.
He will not share his story to public when he wanna cry but he still smile and holding regret inside and he is too sad lah etc etc.... according to your observations and study....
What happened if you see another person who is the opposite of this young man ?
Then you will see him as a weak person etc etc. .....
But I am different with your analysis. I see him as a brave man . Not everyone can do this.
My respect to this young man .
@@Freeman-xm7ug .... Only inner strength person can laugh on hard times... Well I know... If I wrote all... I'll be philosopher...
This is extremely sad story', virus Already in his blood forever. He has wound deep in heart. No second chance to take virus out.
in another word when u COMMIT a crime don't blame others
The Don't...
Is the top qus i would want to know. 😅
❤️❤️❤️
❤
Promiscuous Boy dis one eh...🤗
Your nenek promiscuous la
This is why you should stay away from zina.
bro, a lot of things we should stay away from but we also should be supportive and not judgemental. some do get hiv from being rape. n its not their fault. 😭
🤔
@@TrentAirlinersWorld What's wrong with you? Stop taking it as a joke and don't think that you know everything. Would be better to keep quiet. Thanks.
wanna play a game?
it's called.... "You asked for it !!!!"
❤️
Gay?
Congrats !!! U strike lottery.
he is a gay ?
Are you sure just a gay? He could be two gays you know...
Caught you
u must be the gay headman
May something get into you and cleanse your mind.
The earring on his right ear kinda give it away. That's how gays tell people they're gay.
fake news
Aww think this guy working at a gay sauna Cruise Club/Hook... 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
pls pls pls write a will and give us some money.
what's the point? all that money can't buy you intelligence, common sense and class!
So sad to see that there are some people who would take time out of their lives to write such a nasty comment. I wish for all the empathy in the world for you, and for you to realise how strong a person needs to be to stand out here to share.
GoFundMe!
U do know they can live normal lives if under medication right?
@@Alex-nw6uc except they can't do bareback anymore to others!
Stay strong
