Just found out ~3 months ago. Doc said I have been infected for 2-5 years but my last test was around 4 years ago so most likely 2-3 years. Never really had any symptoms. Never experienced what they call a seroconversion (acute flu-like symptoms a few weeks after infection). Went to get a hormone test and thought I should check just to make sure. Well I'm sure now, sure that I have da hiv.

Not sure where I picked it up, most likely in Vietnam or Philippines (where I live now).

The virus had progressed so far that clinically I actually have AIDS. (A CD4% under 13% is deemed an AIDS defining condition. Mine tested at 10.5%.)

Started taking meds as soon as a found out. Took me around 2 months for the virus to become undetectable in my blood. This means its impossible for me transmit to anyone else.

I am hopeful there will be a cure in the next 10-15 years. The research looks quite promising.

Just thought I should post this as a warning for anyone raw-dogging in these parts of the world.

I probably banged around 100-150 girls during this time, the majority with a condom (probably 70-80% of the time), but sometimes it broke, we ran out or I just didn't bother because I thought it wouldn't happen to me.

I thought only gays were at risk but I guess not….

Happy to answer any questions.

No troll.

If True research about hard dry fasting it's said to cure cancer and HIV.

Fuck, sorry to hear man! Did you raw dog pros or were they all random girls you picked up?

Not into pros at all. Possibly semi-pros that I met at the clubs though.

Did you do anal?

Maybe 5% of all encounters.

You have AIDS and never had any symptoms? That is literally impossible, Sir!

Very sorry to hear that man. While AIDS may no longer be a death sentence, living with that is still a hard burden to bear.

Other than a brief episode of flu upon contracting HIV, it takes anywhere from 3 to 20 years (8 on average) for AIDS symptoms to show up. That's why the disease is so stealthy - you're infectious for many years without ever knowing you have it, and by that time it's too late.

I had symptoms like minor skin infections, sore throat etc. but nothing serious that wouldn't go away in a few days.

Sorry to hear that.

Just a reminder of the probability of transmission (without condom):

From passive anal sex: 1.4%
From active anal sex: 0.6% (0.1% if circumsized)
From giving BJ: 0.04%
From receiving BJ: zero
From receiving vaginal sex: 0.08%
From giving vaginal sex: 0.04%
From giving cunnilingus: negligible
From receiving cunnilingus: zero

How long did you live in SE asia for?

Kind of ironic how HIV/AIDS, which was the main STD everyone worried about from roughly 1980-2000, is now manageable with one pill per day, yet syphillis, gonnorrhea and herpes all seem to be mutating and outsmarting modern medicine. I guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease (buttsex pun intended).

Those statistics might technically be correct but they are largely irrelevant.

The primary thing that really matter when it comes to transmission is the viral load which wasnt controlled in the study that produced those %s.

When someone first contracts the virus their viral load will shoot up to ~2million copies per ml of blood. During this stage (before the body produces antibodies) they are highly contagious and any form of penetrative sex carries a high risk of transmission( 20%+).

After the body identifies the virus then it will start to produce antibodies and the transmission rate falls rapidly. Then for 3-10 years the transmission rate will be quite low (assuming not on HAART) and will increase gradually each year until progression to AIDS.

So those numbers are very misleading. If you are involved in a promiscuous scene like the nightlife scene and you have unprotected sex with someone who just seroconverted then the risk of transmission is very very high.

Those statistics are actually dangeorus and were partly the reason why I was so blase about protection.

It appears I was infected in the first year. Cant be sure though.

Probabilities of contracting most STDs are actually fairly low. However, probability hacking is not an intelligent way to evade a disease. Also, these are one time encounter figures. As number of encounters goes up, so does the risk.

At the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, the CDC found that the average infected homosexual man had several hundred, possibly even a thousand, partners.

Those stats are meaningless because they dont control for viral load which is the primary driver of transmission risk.

Great comment. Had to bold that portion because a lot of guys (willfully) forget that. Chances of transmission are very low during any individual encounters, but the probabilities are additive as the number of encounters/partners mounts.

Also note that several species of mycoplasma are presumed to be cofactors in HIV infection.

And the vast majority of people neither know about mycoplasmas as infectious agents, nor actively test for them (testing for mycoplasma species requires expensive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, and is responsible for a large number of non-gonococcal UTIs.

In other words, wrap your shit up. And especially in southeast Asia.

OP Thanks for sharing and hope you can keep it under control and not let it affect your life too much.

Post: #21

Im sorry. But this is bollocks. Youve smashed 30ish non pro girls without a condom and have supposedly got HIV. Scaremongering to the highest degree. Too many guys get super worried about barebacking and posts like thia exacerbate the paranoid effects that thus causes. Ive been in Asia 5 years and sure a few girls i know have died from HIV. But the figures you a purporting mean you are either the unluckiest guy in the world. Have been banging ladyboys or are a woman. Its difficult to catch.

Post: #22

Sucks man, but thanks for the info on viral load and transmission.

I hope you have the mental strength to thoroughly go through that list of past partners since your last negative test, or better all partners since a few months before your last negative test and inform them of the urgent need to get tested. You could potentially be saving many lives preventing further transmissions.

and any one with such a active sex life definitely needs to be tested more often. Personally I do blood tests twice a year and pee tests 4x a year.

Can you post a screenshot of your positive test results that blocks out your name and any other identifiable details? You said you found out 3 months ago, so you can show the date as well.

Once your HIV status is confirmed, I'll remove the image.
