Re: HIV screening info
Might be a good time to either
1. Stick to one sex partner, gf, wife, tested FB. There are reasons why this is always the less appealing and its not just because men are dirty or always horny. Sometimes relationships fail or get too disappointing. 2. DIY, start visiting sex shops for tenga or fleshlight 3. Only visit commercial sex that do HJ, or capped BJs.

Is HIV any worse than Hep B, Hep C, Diabetes etc in terms of outcome. Could the trauma be caused more by the stigma than the actual disease?

Re: HIV screening info
Please do. It will serve as a deterrent to those who are thinking of practising unsafe sex, and help those who are already positive know that they are not alone.

Re: HIV screening info
HIV is not any worse then any other terminal diseases, the only difference, society has branded it as a disease of shame, you don't get to die as a morally upright man. Compare a man that caught AIDS and another SARS, who will garner the sympathy votes? What defines us in life is the legacy we leave behind after death. All of us know the disease itself does not kill but it simply destory your immunity till you die of some form of illness. But will the day ever come where society accepts HIV as just any other diseases like cancer that is terminal (granted there are cases of recovery)?

Re: HIV screening info
The worse thing about HIV aside from the social stigma and friends fleeing from you is the very fact that the day you die, you will be deprived of the chance of a peaceful death...It is going to be a slow agonizing death with multiple different cancers and diseases....And let's not forget the monthly cost of HIV treatment...

I also tell them stories of my own patients who went on to get married and have children and lead very fulfilling lives all while they are HIV +ve. Of course their spouses and children are all HIV free. I try to illustrate to them that there is life after HIV. People have very different crisis management strategies. Some people cannot even handle a simple car accident much less finding out that they have HIV. It is usually a lot easier for those who have knowledge and who have been exposed to friends or family already living with HIV. It is the unknown that gets to people. Stigma plays a huge role of course. If a person finds out he has cancer, he can fall into the arms of his social support system. Not so much for HIV. In fact, I made the mistake of telling a patient who just found out she was HIV +ve that 'at least it's not cancer'. She looked me square in the eye and said 'I wish I had cancer instead'. And I believed her. It is however sad that society has made it such that a person would rather have a terminal disease that they will die soon and painfully from rather than a chronic disease that can be easily controlled with some tablets. |

Re: HIV screening info
Pardon my ignorance doc, you mean it is still possible to have unprotected sex with an uninfected partner and have children? That is assuming the patient is already under medication.

Re: HIV screening info

In the situation where the male partner is HIV +ve and the female partner is HIV -ve, we have 3 solutions. First is TrAP (Treatment as Prevention). By making sure the male partner is properly treated with an undetectable viral load, the risk of passing HIV on to the female partner drops by about 87%. Secondly, the female partner can be given PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis). This adds up to 99% protection. Lastly, and most popularly, the pregnancy can be achieved via IVF with 'sperm washing'. In the situation where the male partner is HIV -ve and the female partner is HIV +ve, we can also use TrAP and PrEP. Of course, the pregnancy can also be achieved with either IVF or IUI both of which reduces the male partner's risk to zero. When the female partner is actually pregnant, she needs to be on special anti-HIV drugs to prevent the baby from becoming infected. This is called prevention of vertical transmission. The baby should also not be breastfed. We actually covered the 3 pillars of medical HIV prevention. TrAP, PrEP and prevention of vertical transmission. These in association with education, awareness and universal testing make the the global strategy to eradicate HIV. Ta-Dah |

Re: HIV screening info
Hi,
Interesting thread but i have some enquiries. I have read up Dr Tan wesite about the anonymous HIV testing and Rapid Anonymous HIV combo test. Something which i do not understand, i was told by my doctor last time once we are tested and re-confirm positive for HIV, our name will be submitted to sg government health board? So how can it be anonymous? Another thing, anyone know roughly what is the cost of treatment per month for HIV? |

What you simply do is tell the counter you want a test, make payment whereby they'll issue you with a pamphlet on the tests and other information which also has your queue number. The queue number is how you are identified. At no point is any personal information taken. Same with the testing procedure at AFA. |
