Oh my gosh I know him..we went to school together and used to be dead cool. Wow.

Oh wow...
He's quite a sociable fellow although many times intoxicated, but he has talked about his condition to those who cared to listen. Maybe something positive can come out of this. :angel:

this is so sad... heartbreaking...i hope others can learn from his story

Wow, I know him to, havent seen him in a few years but he is a cool fella, all hope for him is not lost though, he can still be a positive role model to persons who used to live the lifestyle he lived and set an example for some to not follow in his footsteps.

I wish him a long life and I hope he takes good care of him self.

Excerpt
"Fortunately there is a tracking system at the hospital that checks and reflects on your sexual history," he said. "It is believed I acquired this disease back in high school."

Classic example of healthy individuals walking around with this disease....

This brings back a memory from back in da day.....

I remember my first blood test in 96..it was fa my first job...the doctor that was talking my blood accidently stuck himself with my needle after he had withdrawn my blood:biggie:....talk about awkward:taped2:....he nervously and joking said I hope you ein gat nuttin.....my father and I joked about it years later....I know my blood got priority testing just to see if he was ok.:)

WTF!!! :jawdroop:

I pray that his story encourages others to get tested. It's strange that he was so advanced (stage 4) and didn't even know it. It makes me wonder how many HIV unknowns are walking around thinking that they're healthy.

how does he know WHEN he contracted the disease?

Probably because he's in the stage 4. Since he's 30, that would trace back to about 10 - 15 years.

That about correct:

FYI for the rest of you, here is how it goes:

Stage one:

HIV infection is asymptomatic and not categorized as AIDS


Stage two:

includes minor mucocutaneous manifestations and recurrent upper respiratory tract infections

I honestly teenk he at dis stage cause he een say he experienced stage tree symptoms but hey, he might be at stage four fa true because while so much is know about AIDS, so little is still know as well......

Stage tree:

includes unexplained chronic diarrhea for longer than a month, severe bacterial infections and pulmonary tuberculosis

Stage four:

includes toxoplasmosis of the brain, candidiasis of the esophagus, trachea, bronchi or lungs and Kaposi's sarcoma; these diseases are indicators of AIDS.

Wow what a way to find out u have full bloom aids.. Bahamas listen please listen if you have to have sex pleeeezzzeee protect yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I een tryin to scare nobody but ven my boy gon to one local club and do da do wit one girl, he found out a year later dat he have it to, dis happen in 06' and he is a clean cut dress up fella who could practically get any woman he want but after da doctor tell him da news, when he track down all da girls he deal wit, when he finally spoke to da girl he deal wit from da club a year earlier, SHE TELL HIM COLD SHE HAVE IT AND WHAT HE CALLIN HER FOR.

Anyway he is out of Sandilands now and takin his meds or at least that the latest I know bout him but he does be home lock up and dont want anyone to bother him and I een speak to him since lass year but he really had a promising future........

He may feel its to late but when I last spoke to him, I told him life goes on, you can still be an asset to society because AIDS is also a mental disease and dont give up......
