Email 106: "I'm Only 17"


Hi Pozzie

Di ko na kase alam gagawin ko eh. Nag sesearch ako sa net kung anong possibleng symptoms ng HIV hanggang sa nakita ko blog mo. May mga symptoms ako na nakikita sa katawan ko like ang bilis ko mapagod at may mga mouth sores ako saka may mga night sweats ako . 
Natatakot ako kase im only 17 years old. Madami nakong sexual encounters both girls and gays. May anak nako at this young age and she's just 9 months old. Natatakot ako na baka ilayo sken ng asawa ko yan pag nalaman na positive ako sa HIV. Andami ko na kaseng sexual encounters sa babae. 

 Please tell me what should i do :(

Hi Pozzie,

I don't know what to do. I was searching the net on the possible symptoms of HIV until I found your blog. I have symtoms that I observe like I easily get tired, have mouth sores and I have night sweats. I am scared because I am only 17 years ols. I have a lot of sexual encounters with girls and gay guys. I have a baby at a young age and she' just 9 months old. I am scared that my wife will take her away from me when she finds out that I am HIV positive. I have a lot sexual encounters with girls. Please tell me what should I do.

POZZIEPINOY'S RESPONSE

Hi XXX.

Thanks for the email and for finding my blog.

Regarding your question, the only way for you to find our if you have HIV is by getting an HIV test. You can go to RITM Satellite Clinic if you want. It is a discreet clinic and the staff are professional. You can look for Med Tech Lean and just tell him that Pozziepinoy referred you.

Regarding the symptoms that you are experiencing, not to scare you but to be honest with you, I felt those before too. But it could be anything. So the best advice that I can give is for you to consult a doctor and get an HIV test immediately.

You need to be proactive this time. Listen to your body. Do this for you and your baby. You are young but that doesn't mean that you don't have a future anymore. It's ok to be scared, but better be scared now than get sick and that will really bring you down not only physically, but emotionally and socially.

I hope I was able to answer you question. Please feel free to email me again if you have other concerns.


Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
