Hi Migs!

It is my privilege and honor to communicate with you. I must admit I am one of your avid fan, hindi matatapos ang buong araw na hindi ko binibisita ang site mo to check if you have new entries. Let me introduce myself first I’m Carlo (that’s my alias) I’m 30 years old, 5’11 tall, mestizo and I can say I’m still in the closet. I’m a businessman here in my province. I knew I was gay since I was in high school but I tried to ignore it by courting and having relationships with girls but it was not easy. I realized that during college days although I still act straight. After college graduation, I worked first in a call center in Manila and from there I had countless sexual encounters di ko na talaga mabilang, I lost track. After a few years I decided to go back to our province and put up my own business. Anyway fast forward…

Migs, I am HIV Positive.


It was January 12, 2007 when my ex-bf (a medtech) told me to undergo test for std just to make sure that we’re both safe. Sabi ko hindi ko na kelangan kasi I’m healthy and di naman ako nagkakasakit or wala naman ako nararamdaman. But still he said mas magaling na sigurado. So I went to the hospital, sya naka duty that time ipinakilala nya ko sa mga kasama nya as barkada then he extracted blood and told me to pay sa cashier. Sabi nya balik daw ako after lunch so that I can get the result. After lunch I texted him to ask the result sabi nya ok naman daw wala naman daw problema. Magkita daw kami after his work, sabi ko ok no problem sunduin ko na lang sya.

I fetched him sa hospital after his duty then he said let’s go to church. Sabi ko, why? Hindi sya umiimik. I decided na pagbigyan sya then when we arrived sa church he said na mag-park muna ko. Then when I already parked my car he started to cry, I asked him, why? Ano problema? Sabi nya ako… I asked him what about me? Sabi ko you should be happy I’m STD-FREE. Sabi nya yun nga daw problema, he tried to test my blood sa HIV and nag-positive daw sya TWICE. At that time parang nabingi ako and nawala sa sarili I was totally in shocked. I was asking myself paano mangyayari yon eh pang prostitute lang ang HIV, pang Africa lang, or yet pang mahirap — hindi ako puwede mahawa nito. He explained that walang nakakaalam sa hospital kundi sya lang kasi sya lang ang nagtest at labag daw yon sa protocol nila kaya in-assure nya ko that NO ONE KNOWS about my test.

I was disoriented I asked him what shall I do. Luckily when he was still studying na assign pala sya sa San Lazaro and dun nya nalaman na yun pala ang central office ng HIV sa Pinas and the protocol pag nalaman na isang tao ay HIV POSITIVE. That night hindi ko makayanan ang problema in the middle of the night I went to my parents’ room and knocked at their door. When they opened they told me kung ano problema. My voice was cracking I told them that I think I’m sick. Sabi nila bakit ko daw nasabi yon? Then I told them that I got tested kasi niyaya ako ng barkada ko di ko sinabi na bf ko yung nagsama sa kin. I told them the result and they two cannot believed it. Sabi nila paano ko daw nakuha yon. Sabi ko hindi ko alam. Sabi ko baka sa mga babae na naka-sex ko sa Manila. They cried I know they were hurting that time. I saw my dad and my mom crying hindi ko makayanan and habang buhay kong dadalhin yung oras na yon. Halos magpaalam na ko sa kanila because I thought I was going to die in a matter of days, weeks or months. They assured me na hindi nila ako pababayaan at gagawin nila ang lahat. I asked them na wag sasabihin kahit kanino kahit na sa mga kapatid ko. They kept their promise. There are times na yayakapin na lang nila ako, assuring me that everything will be alright.

We decided to seek help sa San Lazaro it was the longest 3 weeks of my life. Until dineliver sa kin ng doctor na I am positive. It’s been 3 years already ang dami na nag daan ang dami ko na na experience alam na ng iba kong kapatid about my situation and they are quiet about it. I am already taking ARV meds bumaba kasi before yung CD4 ko but now I’m healthy. I’m living a healthy lifestyle. I hope I can help other people. I hope I can help Mr. Ex-Blogger. By the way, friend ko din pala si Chronicles of E. Ako din pala nagsama sa kanya sa SAN LAZARO at RITM to test at ayun, positive din pala sya. At least siguro ito na yung calling ko. Eto siguro ang gusto ni God kaya nya ko binigyan ng gift of carrying HIV so that I can help other people to understand. Migs, if it’s not too much kindly give my email address to Mcvie and Mr. Ex-Blogger or kung kahit kanino who is seeking help and awareness about HIV. I want to be of help.

Thank you very much!

Carlo

PS: I also attached my confirmatory letter [posted as image above]. Eto yung result ng test ko sa San Lazaro confirming that I have HIV. I’m positive for both HIV1 and HIV2 ganyan ako ka swerte wala talaga akong ligtas sa HIV at parehong strand nasa akin. Most of the people diagnosed with HIV it’s either HIV1 or HIV2 lang, seldom yung both.

Hi Carlo,

You are a shining beacon of strength and resilience. Your story inspires. I feel that after reading your letter, my heart has grown tenfold, able to embrace, not just accept, enjoy, not just endure, more people and more life possibilities. I honor you and your renewed purpose.

My CD4 among other things!

It’s official I am transferring to RITM. After a couple of cancelled appointments I went to RITM last Tuesday (September 2, 2008) to undergo my 3rd CD4 test since I was diagnosed positive of HIV, my 1st viral load, Urinalysis, CBC and PPD. When I arrive there I saw Ate Ana and she gave me the requests for all the test that the hospital need to make. After that I went to the lab so that they can extract blood from me I was kinda afraid of needles and there was a time when the medtech is having a hard time extracting blood from me. The med tech said to me to relax so I closed my eyes and think of a HAPPY PLACE (I’m still trying to overcome that fear) after it was finished I went back to Ate Ana and she guided me to another nurse for the PPD test. Meaning another injection for me. PPD test is to determine if you have been expose to a TB environment (I hope there’s cable or satellite included) luckily the result turned negative. After that Ate Ana instructed me to go to the X-ray room. When I was there the attendant an old lady told me to comeback around 10:30 AM because they are still fixing the X-ray machine. When I looked at my watch its around 9:30 AM I still have 1 hour to wait. I went to Ate Ana’s office and waited there until around 10:45 AM the attendant called and told Ate Ana that the X-ray machine is already fixed. So I went to the X-ray room again followed the instructions of the old lady to put my chin on top of the plate and breathe deeply. After that, the old lady told me to stay outside and wait for the result. After around 5 minutes the old lady told me that I need to repeat my X-ray. I said to myself Why? Am not a lab rat! The old lady said that there a certain portion that the X-ray machine didn’t get. Now I am imagining a scene from a movie wherein the guy was left on the X-ray room and was over exposed from the radiation of the X-ray machine and he was starting to decay. I don’t want to die like that. I still followed the old lady and told me to put my chin on top of the plate and inhale, hold your breathe and we’re done. She told me to wait again outside so that she can be sure that the X-ray is ok. After 5 minutes she said the X-ray is clear she will just give the result to Ate Ana. So I went back there and told Ate Ana that I will just comeback next Thursday for the results of the exams.

The next day I was excited to know the results of my CD4 test and to check if my ARV is working I texted Ate Ana. “Ate Ana ask ko lng po kung nandyan nap o yung result ng CD4 test ko.” Then Ate Ana replied “ Oo, very good your CD4 is 574. Keep up your healthy lifestyle.” Wow I was so happy when I received that message imagine from 504 that was the first result of my CD4 then after 9 months I got my 2nd test and it turned out that my CD4 went down to 360. So my doctor advised me to undergo ARV meds. As a good patient I followed my doctor and drink my ARV meds for almost 9 months now. Now here’s the result my 3rd CD4 test an all time high of 574. I hope that I can maintain this level.
Tuloy ang ligaya, but of course be RESPONSIBLE!

By the way I’ve been sexless for 2 weeks now I don’t know why? Actually I think this is the longest time. May be that’s why I got sick because of the mounting pressure inside of me, don’t you think? Kidding!!!

Here are some info about CD4 and HIV:

T helper cells (also known as effector T cells or Th cells) are a sub-group of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell or leukocyte) that plays an important role in establishing and maximizing the capabilities of the immune system. These cells are unusual in that they have no cytotoxic or phagocytic activity; they cannot kill infected host (also known as somatic) cells or pathogens, and without other immune cells they would usually be considered useless against an infection. Th cells are involved in activating and directing other immune cells, and are particularly important in the immune system. They are essential in determining B cell antibody class switching, in the activation and growth of cytotoxic T cells, and in maximizing bactericidal activity of phagocytes such as macrophages. It is this diversity in function and their role in influencing other cells that gives T helper cells their name.

Mature Th cells are believed to always express the surface protein CD4. T cells expressing CD4 are also known as CD4+ T cells. CD4+ T cells are generally treated as having a pre-defined role as helper T cells within the immune system, although there are known rare exceptions. For example, there are sub-groups of suppressor T cells, natural killer T cells, and cytotoxic T cells that are known to express CD4 (although cytotoxic examples have been observed in extremely low numbers in specific disease states, they are usually considered non-existent). All of the latter CD4+ T cell groups are not considered T helper cells, and are beyond the scope of this article.

The importance of helper T cells can be seen from HIV, a virus that infects cells that are CD4+ (including helper T cells). Towards the end of an HIV infection the number of functional CD4+ T cells falls, which leads to the symptomatic stage of infection known as the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). There are also some rare disorders that result in the absence or dysfunction of CD4+ T cells. These disorders produce similar symptoms, and many of these are fatal.

HIV infection

Perhaps the best example of the importance of CD4+ T cells is demonstrated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. HIV targets cells that express CD4, and can infect macrophages, dendritic cells (both groups express CD4 at low levels) and CD4+ T cells.
It has been proposed that during the non-symptomatic phase of HIV infection, the virus has a relatively low affinity towards T cells (and has a higher affinity for macrophages), resulting in a slow kill rate of CD4+ T cells by the immune system. This is initially compensated for via the production of new helper T cells from the thymus (originally from the bone marrow). Once the virus becomes lymphotropic (or T-tropic) however, it begins to infect CD4+ T cells far more efficiently (likely due to a change in the co-receptors it binds to during infection), and the immune system is overwhelmed.

At this point, functional CD4+ T cell levels begin to decrease, eventually to a point where the CD4+ T cell population is too small to recognize the full range of antigens that could potentially be detected. The lack of full antigen cover results in the core symptoms of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). CD4 T cell depletion during AIDS allows various pathogens to escape T cell recognition, thus allowing opportunistic infections that would normally elicit a helper T cell response to bypass the immune system. While these complete bypass situations only occur when the helper T cell response is absolutely necessary for infection clearance, most infections increase in severity and/or duration because the immune system's helper T cells provide a weaker contribution to a less efficient immune response.
Two components of the immune system are particularly affected in AIDS, due to its CD4+ T cell dependency:

1. CD8+ T cells are not stimulated as effectively during the AIDS period of HIV infection, making AIDS patients very susceptible to most viruses, including HIV itself. This decline in killing of
CD4+ T cells results in the virus being produced for a longer period (the infected CD4+ T cells are not killed as quickly), increasing the proliferation of the virus, and accelerating the development of the disease.

2. Antibody class switching declines significantly once helper T cell function fails. The immune system loses its ability to improve the affinity of their antibodies, and are unable to generate B cells that can produce antibody groups such as IgG and IgA. These effects are primarily due to the loss of any helper T cell that can interact with the B lymphocyte correctly. Another symptom of AIDS is the reduction in antibody levels due to a decrease in Th2 cytokines (and less interactions by helper T cells). All of these complications result in an increased susceptibility to aggressive bacterial infections, especially in areas of the body not accessible by IgM antibodies.

If the patient does not respond to (or does not receive) HIV treatment they will succumb usually to either cancers or infections; the immune system finally reaches a point where it is no longer coordinated or stimulated enough to deal with the disease.

My Dreams and Goals in Life!

It's 12:30 in the evening (Philippine time), I became suddenly emotional about what's happening in my life. I thought of my goals and dreams in life way back when I was still undectable from the sonar of HIV/ AIDS radar.

My goals and dreams are:

To have a son or a daughter of my own.

Yes, that's correct! I want to have a kid of my own. Actually I was asking my friends if they know any girls who want to carry my child and in return I'll give her money and a 9 months all expenses paid, worry free caring. Provided that after giving birth she will sign a document that she will not run after the child. You're asking why not marry? Why don't you? Have you seen the statistics of marriages that's being annuled or divorced lately? Especially in my situation I experienced both worlds people it's like a switch sometimes you can turn it off and be straight again but most of the time it's on, you know what I mean? Another reason is, no offense to all the wives there but everytime I see couples fighting with one another mastering the art of throwing anything that they can grab. Oh man you won't believe me I experienced it first hand courtesy of my straight friends and their loving housewives. That's why I told myself "Bakit ako mag aasawa eh di parang kumuha ako ng bato na ipinukpok ko sa ulo ko!"

I believe that you cannot say that you are successfull unless you have a successor! I want to raise my on kid, nourish him/her with my love and affection, giving him/her what he/she needs. I am imagining myself going to Glorietta 4, there will be a minimum of 3 cars that will park along the driveway of Glorietta 4. The first car is a white Chevrolet Suburban, the second car is a white 7 series BMW and the third car is a white Toyota Landcruiser. All the drivers of these 3 cars are wearing all black uniform with headsets on their ears. The doors of the Chevrolet Suburban will open and 4 men also wearing their black uniforms with their headsets on their ears will go down and one of them will open the back door of the 7 series BMW. Wearing my cream Cuban shirt made by Bergamo paired with black khaki pants and black leather sandals I will go down together with my kid. At the same time additional 2 black uniformed men and 2 nanny's wearing their white uniform will go down from the Toyota Landcruiser and will follow us while we are roaming around the mall. You will ask "Why do you have alot of bodyguards?" Yes, I dreamed to be a politician at least to be a representative of our district in congress. But as soon as I came to my senses that I am bisexual, gay or homosexual whatever you may call it, I dropped the idea of being a politician. You will ask again "Why?" Simply because if you want your trash, secrets or your bad deeds to come out without making any effort the easiest way is to join politics and your enemies will do the job for you at their own expense, even if it's not true.

But all of these is now just a dream that will never come true. My doctor said that if ever I will get someone pregnant the chances of the mother and the child of getting infected with HIV is high. That's why I don't want to take the risk of getting them infected because I just want to have a kid. Now my goal is to make the life of other people better in my own sim ple way and not to ruin them.

It's so ironic many people will say to you especially in H4 Pavillion "Be Positive!" I always tell them "Aren't we POSITIVE already? and all of us we laugh. That's how we take things nowadays. But despite of this trial in my life I still continue to dream, I try to achieve my goals in life for without them there will be no reason for me to stay in this beautiful world.

That's why to all of you, continue to dream
even if it is......
The UNREACHABLE STAR!!!

I have HIV!!!

Hi guys! I just wanna share my experience about what happened to me last year January 2007! Kapa pasok pa lang ng 2007 when one of my fuck buddy who was a med tech asked me if I already got tested for HIV? Sabi ko bakit eh imposible ako magka meron nun since mga addict at feeling ko mga parloristang gay ang mga magka ameron nun and not me. Sabi nya basta magpa test ka. He convinced me to get tested sabagay active talaga sex life ko. Never pa kasi ako nagpa test ng blood ko di pa naman kasi ako nagka kasakit so why bother?! So I went to the hospital kung saan sya nagwo work and asked him to extract my blood sabi ko pa nga sa kanya itest mo na gusto mo i-test para isang kuhanan na lang di kasi ako sanay sa turok. He told he's co-workers that I was his cousin (syempre baka mahalata kami were both very discreet pa naman). So on that afternoon my med tech friend caled me up and said he wanted to talk to me about something. Sabi ko sige, kung ano ano na pumasok sa utak ko that time medyo natakot ako. Sabi ko baka nakita nila yung STD ko before o baka bumalik na naman yun. Nag se-self medication lang kasi ako pag nagka ka std ako. So that afternoon I fetch him and while I was driving I asked him.

Hivpos27: Kamusta yung test ko?

Med Tech Guy: Ok naman, mataas lang ang uric acid mo but everything seems to be normal.

Hivpos27: That's good! Kinabahan naman ako sayo, kala ko kung ano na.

Med Tech Guy: Tara punta tayo simbahan.

Hivpos27: Huh? Bakit?

Med Tech Guy: Basta samahan mo muna ako.

We went to a church and then I parked. He didn't go down, instead he cried. Then he delivered the BIG NEWS, he said he tried testing my blood for HIV and it came out POSITIVE! Hindi ko alam kung ano magiging reaction ko sabi ko baka nagbibiro ka lang. Sabi nya hindi, sabi ko paano ka naka kasigurado? Pinakita nya sa akin yung test kit na nag positive at that time medyo ng lalamig na ako. I asked him sino naka kaalam about this? Sabi niya wala, he tested it secretly. He got another test kit sabi nya baka nagka mali lang yung test kit ulit daw nya. He prick my finger and put some blood on a small paper strip we waited for a couple of minutes that's for me the most agonizing and longest waiting in my life, and again it came out POSITIVE. I can't believe it! Sa laha lahat ng tao ako pa nagka meron wala naman ako naka sex na foreigner lahat sila pinoy. Sino sa kanila? Hindi ko matandaan, hindi ko alam kung kanino ko nakuha. Sabi niya samahan daw nya ako sa San Lazaro kasi dumuty din sya dun. Doon daw dinadala ang mga gusto at for confimatory test ng HIV.Hindi ko alam gagawin ko, umiiyak siya kasi I fucked him sabi ko sa kanya don't worry we use condom naman di ba? Sabi nya kahit na may chance pa rin na mahawa ako sayo. I also felt gulty baka nga nahawahan ko sya if ever na talagang HIV positive ako. I was demoralized that moment. That night when I arrived home it was late and my parents were already sleeping but I still went straight to my their room and talked to them and told them what my med tech "friend" found out.

Hivpos27: Dad Mom may sakit yata ako? (I was starting to cry)

Parents: Ano? Bakit?

Hivpos27: Kasi nagpa kuha ako ng test sa kaibigan ko?

Parents: At ano, nakita? (They are getting very worried at this time)

Hivpos27: Kasi tinest ng kaibigan ko ang blood ko for HIV and nag positive to.

Parents: Ha! Paano, Bakit, Saan mo nakuha? (They started crying)

Hivpos27: Hindi ko alam kung saan ko nakuha?

Parents: Yan ang sinasabi namin sayo binigyan ka namin ng kalayaan, tingnan mo kung san ka ngayon. Baka mali yang test na yan magpa patest tayo sa iba.

Hivpos27: Dad Mom ayaw ko pa mamatay.

Parents: Anak, hindi ka mamatay. Hindi pa naman confirmed yan hahanap tayo nga gamot.

Hivpos27: Dad Mom sorry sa lahat ng nagawa ko sa inyo. Always remember na mahal na mahal ko po kayo. Wag nyo po sana ako pababayaan.

Parents: Mahal na mahal ka rin namin tandaan mo yan at hinding hindi ka namin pababayaan.

(My parents know that I'm straight but that's all a lie, I am a bi guy. I go for girls and I go for guys) I told them I don't know kung san ko nakuha. Kasi alam nila srtaight ako, they don't know na most na nakakasex ko is same sex. We all cried that night, I asked forgiveness to them and nagpa aalam na rin ako kung baga huling habilin coz I thought I'm going to die anytime soon. My parents was in a state of shock sino ba hindi kung ide-deliver mo ang news na yon? They told me that we will find a cure and they will be there by my side to help me get through this test.

The next monday my dad and I went to San Lazro Hospital. I met this kind doctor and she talked o me first before undergoing the HIV test as part of their SOP (counselling) then they told me to pay 400 and then they extracted my blood they told me to go back after 2 weeks for the result. Eactly after 2 weeks my dad and I went back but the doctor said hindi pa daw lumalabas ang reult. Kinabahan na ko coz sabi ni doc once na naging positive ka they will run another test to confirm the first result and I think ganun na nga ang nangyari. After a week my dad and I went back for the result and eto.

Doctor: Ano plano mo kung halimbawa negative yan?

Hivpos27: Sabi ko life goes on pero syempre babaguhin ko na yung lifestyle ko, I will use contraception na.

Doctor: Pano naman kung positive?

Hivpos27: Sabi ko wala na tayo magagawa nandyan na yan kailangan ko na lang maki pag cooperate kung pano mapa pahaba ang buhay ko kasi bata pa ako and I'm the only one working for my family, madami pa ako pangarap. Pero definitely diko papaalam sa iba kasi medyo kilala kami at sigurado mase sentationalize ang family ko and I don't want that to happen.

The doctor gave me the letter and I opened it. Hindi ko nga maintindihan kasi puro medical test nakita ko na lang my seropositive or reactive.

Hivpos27: Doc ano ba big sabihin ng mga to, san ko maki kita kung POSITIVE ako or NEGATIVE?"

Kinuha ni doc ang letter at binasa.

Doctor: This means your POSTIVE!

Hindi na ko naka pag salita pero tanggap ko na, hindi totally pero nag sinkin na sa akin since 3 weeks na nung unang nareceive ko ang same news with the med tech guy. I asked the doctor kung ano kelangan ko gawin. She gave me instructions. I made an alias para yun yung magiging name ko at itatawag nila sa akin doon. My real name will not be revealed kahit na ano mangyari not unless magkaroon ng court order sa kanila. My bill na kasi na napasa sa congress about the right of HIV/ AIDS patients. I also got my own code eto yung magiging ID no. ko sa profile ng DOH or Department of Health, that file with my code on it will contain all the medical test result, sickness and visits that I will make in San Lazaro. After that day, I went to San Lazaro and undergone several test para malaman kung may iba pa ba akong sakit that may affect my health and to check kung gano na kalala ang HIV ko. Although I'm feeling ok I'm still thinkind kung kanino ko nakuha yung virus. Yes, ngayon ako nagsisisi kung bakit di ako gumagamit ng condom before. (Wala namang nagsisi sa una di ba? Lagi sa huli ang pagsisisi sabi nga nila.) Oo nga masarap ang walang condom pero tingnan mo naman na pala ko habang buhay ko pagsi sisihan to. I already met some people na may HIV they're very friendly and accomodating they want me to join they're organization, yes it's not bad pero in my case I just want to be alone baka mamaya may maka kilala pa sa akin mahirap na. Right now siguro pag nakita nyo ako di nyo aakalain na may HIV ako. Sabi nga d mo malalaman kung sino ang infected base on the physical aspect lang. Kaya guys payo ko sa inyo if your going to have sex use condom! Get tested wala naman mawawala kung mag pa patest kayo di ba? Atleast kung may makita man magagamot agad hindi pa huli ang lahat. Ako kasi walang paki alam noon sabi ko sa sarili ko imposible magka meron ako ng HIV pero eto POSITIVE ako! Kaya guys! USE CONDOM & GET TESTED!

P.S.Did you know that an average of 30 people are getting reported to be infected by HIV every month?! Ganun na sya kalala ngayon!
