KNOW YOUR STATUS.

| KNOW YOUR STATUS TODAY!! |
Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi told SOWETAN "that he was not surprised to hear that 43% of people living with HIV also had a mental disorder." it is because many people do not worry themselves to go and test and when they found out that they are HIV positive, they panic a lot and forgetting that you can still live a healthy life with HIV, Am saying to you the is life after knowing that you are HIV positive. AIDS is a life-threatening disease caused by infection with the HIV (virus) which creates a condition where the body gradually loses its ability to defend itself against other opportunistic and potentially life-threatening diseases. HIV infection is spread only when an adequate amount of infected body fluid enters the bloodstream of a non-infected person.
It is important to know your status as young as you are do not wait until you get sick to go and do HIV test, it is your responsibility as an individual to go and test after three months, do not wait for the HIV & AIDS campaigns to come to you. People should know that, when you go for HIV & aids test it is not that you are living a careless life but it is for you to know your status, because there is a say that says " if you don't know your staters that mean you are positive. "In the beginning of the all four UJ campuses had campaigns about HIV & AIDS they do this every year because their mission is to develop effective strategies continually in order to ensure that students of the University are better prepared, both professionally and personally, to deal with HIV and AIDS in South African society. there is no excuse for you not to test because in our campuses we have clinics and they are all free of charge. just take a step of change in your life and be free as young as you are, make a change in your life.
knowing you status is a very good thing because you gonna stay healthy for ever no metter you HIV positive or negative.if you do not know you at a very high risk of suffuring from AIDS,die early and staying for ever sick.
ReplyDeleteam encouraging you girl to go and test, so that you can be free from stresing.
DeleteThere indeed life after knowing that you are infected.
ReplyDeleteNelson Mandela once campaigned for it to be recognised and treated like any other disease and called for the need to break the silence against it and banish stigma.
we should treat it like any other disease and stop streesing about it and try to live a healthy life.
Deleteis to harder to go inside and test, is better to stay not knowing your status, if you decide to test and find that you are HIV positive, it obvious you be mental disorder. what i prefer is sex before marriage
ReplyDeletewhen you know your status you will be able to take care of yourself and dont be afraid to go and test.
DeleteIts a goog thing that people must test but most people are scared to test because they think that they going to be miserable for the rest of their lives as they know that they are going to die. To me thats no excuse because evryone is going to die at the end of the day and no one knows when that will be.
ReplyDeletetrue that Akhona, everyone it going to die wether you like it or not. so they should go and test before it too late.

ReplyDeletewhat is scary about doing HIV test.?
DeleteI must say it is scary to get tested specially when you are a sextually active person.Yet it is vital to know your status.Thanks for bringing this topic up, because we are normally encouraged to get tested on World AIDS Day.
ReplyDeletethat what i have noticed that young people dont do HIV test, they just wait for those special days.
DeleteTesting for HIV is the most terrifying feeling one could possibly go through but unfortunately we cannot around away from it and i'm glad that,that is the case because no matter who you are and how old you are you need to get tested it is important and it will shape how you live your life,from taking care of yourself and living healthy and safely,regardless of whether you are positive or negative. KNOW YOUR STATUS IT IS IMPORTANT.
ReplyDeleteI can say testing it a must these days.
DeleteMe and my friends were debating on about why when you have just got your positive results, thats when HIV starts showing signs. I replied and said its because psychologically it has just registered and its not about knowing that makes you sick but how you think about it. Am i right?
ReplyDeletetrue that.
Deletetesting for HIV scares most people but we do not have a choice we need to know our status so that we can live a better life.
ReplyDeletewhy people become scared when they have to test but they dont become scared when they do their staff.
Deletewould like to agree with Nok2la testing is scary but we lucky here@varsity coz they come to our campus for testing and councelling
ReplyDeleteI dont see a reason to be scare if you are taking care of yourself.
DeleteIt is better to know where you stand with your health than not to know!
ReplyDeletebecause when you know you can be able to treat it.
