   I have a partner (pinoy), we are having sex for almost 8 months now, but not basicaly that everyday we are doing it. when we first meet and make love, we didnt use condom, later on, occassionally we are using by instances, most of the time we didnt, coz i believe he fucked no one except me. one time i’ve got a bruise on my entrada, everytime i used to moved my bowel, it really painful and there was blood, he then fucked me and i couldnt help but whisper of agony coz it really kills me when it pains, i just want to make sure or just want to get some scientific advices/infos if those incidental will lead me to be HIV victim? i got a bruise but no fluids entered into my entradas. im really scared when i used to think of it…

   I know a testing center in Manila that costs free and additional tests like plasma testing and Syphilis detection for only less than a hundred bucks. This is where I got tested and I am hoping more people would want to get tested too. drop me a note at my e-mail sirmattie@gmail.com if you’re interested. don’t worry, everything will be confidential. I have passed that road of anxiety too. No, I am not HIV+ but I sworn to help people get tested and be aware of it once mine come out negative. This is my own way of giving back to the society.

   God bless everyone and God bless you Charlie.

   i really really find it hard to digest when i read the article charlie wrote. i was taken aback. kahit yung mga comments are really surprising. pero ganyan talaga ang life. we make choices and whether we have foreseen the possibility of the bout of the disease or not, we make choices and we risk everything with our choices. pero tao lang tayo at nakakaramdam lang din ng lust but sometimes we have to limit ourselves para di tayo maka-contract ng any disease. pero, ang dapat mo sigurong gawin ngayon ay make the most of the realizations sa buhay mo di dahil may sakit ka na kundi dahil sa gusto mong magbukas ng bagong chapter ng buhay mo kung saan mas tatanggapin mo ang state mo of being a HIV-virus carrier at mayu-utilize mo ang means to your acceptance to your other present conditions. the key to living your life is having those small disappointments and little laughters until you get the biggest blow in your life when all you have to do next is to find the best form of happiness there could still be. God bless, charlie! the whole gay community is just right here beside you. we love you, God loves you… :)

   When I learned that one of the guys I know in Cebu died of AIDS I was saddened. He was a good guy, intelligent, good looking, have a great job and  a promising future.  Later on I was informed that 2 more guys that I know has the virus and one has an active case. I was horrified. Cebu is such a small place and these people are above average looking, smart with good careers. These guys may have practiced unsafe sex in the past but they’re beyond reproach. They paid more than what they asked for. Cebu before was a ”clean” ground to play and that’s what they thought. During the time they got the virus and the time it was discovered that they have it (window period) how many guys do you think they slept with?  Plenty maybe?  My purpose for this is to inform people and not to scare guys there unecessarily but action needs to be taken to stop the virus from spreading.  HIV screening is advised to gay guys who are sexually active more so to those who are in a habit of not practicing safe sex. It is available in the City Health Center and diagnostic laboratories.  If you are already HIV positive please be responsible enough to be super cautious in your “encounters”.  Don’t spread your hate, stop the virus.

   Guys,

   I appreciate your encouraging words and for sharing your thoughts, at some point I realized that life is still worth living whether HIV positive or not. It is gradually sinking in to me that several windows may have closed on me but I can still live as normal as I can possibly do. More than the physical challenges, it’s the emotional aspect and mood swings that I find far more difficult to bear with. Upon calling it a battle I’m bound to lose, a friend who knows about my condition offered to introduce me to this NGO who supports people with HIV and it somehow flashed a glimmer of hope. I may have been derailed in the past but I’m taking control of the wheel. And as a self fulfilling prophecy, “I will have my life back” with GOD’s mercy.

   sorry but honestly we all face the prospect of death right? HIV isn’t the only way to die.
   I had a friend, he was gay all right. And closetted too. He had a gay lover who was a fellow in training.
   He started losing weight.
   And when he finally got the ultrasound, (no he wasn’t pregnant), he had pancreatic cancer.
   In two months he was gone, and none of us of his circle of friends got to even see him in the hospital, or even at his wake.
   HIV or not, the loneliness in dying is something I do not wish even to my worst enemies.
   So, I have two friends, one of whom I had sex with, who after two years of knowing them became HIV positive. One of them was outed in G4M. And he’s in San Lazaro as far as I know.
   The other friend, he is taking his life in full. He has been safe. He still has check ups. GEts the meds.
   And he has me to share his secret and his life. (obviously we don’t have sex, he has a boyfriend who knows his hiv status).
   So Friend, keep on living. That’s all I can say, either in the light of the sun or in the blaze of starlight. The darkness has nothing on that light.

    Charlie, my best wishes to you! Aren’t there any AIDS/HIV support groups in Metro Manila (assuming you live in the area)? Not to give you false hope pero different people have different reactions to the virus. Maybe you can still fight it–or at least live a full life while accepting it. Sorry, I know it’s way easier said than done but just trying my best.

    To the bible thumpers, just my opinion: Science, not God, has more to do with AIDS/HIV. How can your god explain the fact that a few people seem to be genetically predisposed to have immunity against HIV? Yes, that’s been documented. How can Rommel, one of the posters here, have 150+ sexual partners, be a bottom, AND typically do bareback sex and still be HIV-negative? No offense to anyone, esp. Rommel, pero hindi kaya there’s something in his gene that’s naturally protecting him against HIV? I think they’re studying that now for a cure. The very same reason AIDS/HIV is stigmatized in the Philippines is because religion has polluted rational minds into thinking that AIDS/HIV is a ‘punishment’ from God, wrongly assuming in the first place that being gay is a ’sin’.

    If it makes people feel better to pray, to practice religion, to take comfort in God, esp. Charlie, who am I to take that away from them? I’m just stating my opinion. Sorry, didn’t mean to steer this towards a heated religious debate.

    Ryan, how accurate is your info? No offense but tumaas ang kilay ko when you said na there’s a big decline of AIDS cases in the U.S. so I double checked. I think that’s false. Paki-cite ang sources mo pls. According to the New York Times in an article dated June 27,2008 HIV cases among gay men is RISING, not declining: “Diagnoses of H.I.V. and AIDS in MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN rose significantly between 2001 and 2006 while declining in other demographic groups, the federal Centers for Disease Control reported Thursday. The increase in diagnoses was especially high among males between the ages of 13 and 24, with an annual increase of 12.4 percent, compared to 1.5 percent for men overall.”

    I don’t know why they only looked at data until 2006 pero it’s a recent article. The ‘other’ group there btw is straight men. Maybe you’re referring to cases AFTER 2006? I still think rising pa rin. I know the problem now is more complex because people have the mistaken notion that AIDS is on its way out, so they engage in irresponsible behavior.

    Anyway, heere’s the link to the complete article:

    Hello charlie, I hope this will help…download “Just Stand Up” and listen to it, at least it will lift up your spirits. It is a Cancer charity single by all our favorite female singers: Mariah, Beyonce, Mary J., Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Natasha Bedingfield, Miley Cyrus, Leona Lewis, Carrie, Keyshia Cole, LeAnn, Ashanti and Ciara. di ba bongga? wala lang si Christina. Anyway… although the song speaks of battling the cancer disease in particular , it can pretty much be a joyous anthem against all of life’s trials. Sept 2 pa daw available for official download pero available na ‘unofficial’ download hehehehe. Sige lang just be happy. I know you are. Alam ko ginagawa mo palagi so patuloy lang ang pagdadasal sa ating Panginuon.

    Im sorry Charlie but life goes on. You can’t kill yourself either. It’s just sad to have AIDS in a third world country like the Philippines because of the poor or lack of government and private org support. There are so many in the US living with AIDS like normal everyday people because there is just huge help from the government. There are all being monitored, counseled and treated. There’s now a big decline of AIDS cases among Americans.

    What you have revealed here has open the eyes of so many gay Filipinos who are just careless and irresponsible with their sexual encounters. Filipino gays in America have the highest cases of AIDS among minorities in recent study. They come home to the Philippines and spread the disease like crazy. Magising na kayo!! Be responsible and always practice SAFE sex. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

    Charlie don’t get depressed, instead why don’t you use your present situation into your own redemption by being an AIDS advocate? Dont’ lose hope, cure can be found in the near future, in your lifetime. FYI, AIDS vaccine is now being tested in the US.

    Charlie, i hope you’ve watched Queer as Folk already, if not, please do. The series shows that an HIV positive and negative can still have a great relationship. What happened to you should only make you more responsible, specially to the ones you love, mostly – yourself, so maintain a healthly lifestyle.

    May Chrlie’s case be a lesson to all of us. Sex is great and once you’ve awaken your sexuality, you should always be responsible about when and where to get it and especially who to give it to. Self control and safe sex should be practised ALWAYS. And to those who are in a relationship already, please do not cheat on your partners with the next cute guy who walks by…if you want to explore your sexual prowess, explore it with him.
    Im sad that you have a death sentence on an early stage in your life Charlie. I really hope that you make out of the most with what time you have left.

    Charlie,

    Having HIV is no longer a death sentence. I know it is hard for you to be in this situation. Seek out counseling, find an HIV support group, keep yourself busy! I know it’s hard but you don’t have to wallow in self pity. You just need the medication and the right kind of disposition. Live life to its fullest.

    U can survive bro. Evertyhing has purpose in this world. Look up! Why not talk to God..He cares for all of us. Each one of us is special to HIM. Just ask for repentance from HIM and turn away from your sinful lifestyle. I know all of us are imperfect and sinful. But what God requires is total surrender to HIM. I used to be a bimale. Through GOD’s grace I was able to overcome it. I knew the truth through GOD’s words in the BIBLE. Gay thinking is just a lie that Satan is trying to put in our mind so that we will turn away from GOD. Im thanking the LORD. I found my freedom, my life. I got peace, joy, strenght. GOD is really great and good. GOD cares and understands u. Talk to HIM. He is just waiting for you. Miralces happen if we just believe. JESUS can even heal you. Why not aski HIM. He is waiting for you.

    Hi Charlie….

    Sad to hear about what happened to you, but dont put any more hurt and pain to yourself.i think its time that you turn things around and help out others to have a different path than yours…

    you are right that we need to learn from life and that regrets are just not really going to do anygood, that is why we need to always think of the actions that we do.

    i still hope that everything works out for the best for you….love yourself more…

    Hi Charlie,
    I am an HIV positive myself. I found out my condition last year. When I learned that I am HIV positive my world crumbled upon me. I had to put up with so much emotions. Pinaghalong takot and pangamba. I asked myself what lies ahead of me? What’s my future like?
    Luckily, there is a support group here in the States for HIV positive people. They opened a lot of things to me. I learned that having HIV/AIDS is no longer a deadly thing. Yes, your lifestyle will change but your life will still continue. Iba na nga lang and yes you could still live a normal life. One of the studies here said that Cancer is in fact deadlier than HIV. There are meds that will help you arrest the virus. Before when a person is infected they are given at least 5 years to live now, that’s out of the question already..you can live as long as you want provided you take care of yourself. Madami ng advancement sa HIV research and they are even more advanced that research sa Cancer.
    There’s a support group there in the Philippines, and if you want you can visit my blog the contact info is written there. Dont lose hope..this is not the end.

    Charlie’s is the third case of HIV/AIDS that I’ve heard and/or read about in the past month. Looks like its spreading in the Philippines.

    Any act that involves bodily fluids puts you at risk of many virus, not just HIV. Kissing, sucking, blow jobs, and anal sex. Condoms are only 95% effective.

    Let’s be careful out there.

    there is no such thing as “safe” sex unless you are in a monogamous relationship with someone who is also monoganous with you, and both of you are HIV free. using protection and other precautions can be called “safer” sex because it is not 100% safe. abstinance is also 100% safe.

    Been reading this post and it’s interesting to note that some are keen to provide support, information, and even make some intelligent judgement.

    The uncertainty of contracting HIV is probably true at some point. If you have many sex partners at some point, even safe sex can be put at risk. So it’s agreeable to abstain (if we can). Secondly, be monogamous and continue to practice safe sex. I think if you’ve been polygamous and been practicing safe sex, there’s still a risk not to be spared from ever contracting HIV or any disease like Herpes, Hepatitis etc. So bottomline, as Rommel said let’s abstain if we can. If not, still practice safe sex. But remember, that can still put you at risk.

    For Charlie, Justin and Chronicle, just continue to live. Now, be more conscious. Get the best treatment you can get to keep you better, seek guidance from your health care provider. Stay strong. Pray.

    For other readers of this blog, it’s high time we learn more about this condition. We’re all at risk in any case. It’s better that we’re informed rather than be ignorant. Sometimes, we fear so much because we’re so innocent and misguided by hearsay, old beliefs and traditions. But there’s nothing more powerful than guided knowledge as they say. It pays to know and learn for this can help us decide and make us think of how we are gonna react if we face this type of problem/challenge.

    I just would like to say that it is VERY unlikely for you to contact it if you always practice safe sex. Maybe you got it from shared needle use or blood transfusion or something. Please dont confuse others. Safe sex and abstinence is still the best protection from this virus. God Bless you both and thanks for sharing

THANK YOU!! and we hope and pray that you may have more faith and strength in your everyday life. You can still help other people and be their GUIDING LIGHT,YOU STILL HAVE A PURPOSE IN THIS WORLD !! BE STRONG!!there are still a lot of worst happenings around us much graver than what you had experienced. and before you know it ,someday a cure for HIV will already be available.From what i’ve heard there are countries already that has found a cure for it.For the mean time a positive outlook in life can do a lot of good prognosis on your part rather than be pessimistic ,it will just make things worst on you.Look always on the brighter side of life,coz your life doesn’t really end there,while you still have your breath ,you can always find a purpose in your life .

    Charlie,

    Just want to share this site. I hope this helps you to learn more about your condition or rather our condition.

    http://askthepozguy.blogspot.com/

    I can relate to what you’re feeling. I am HIV positive too. Just 3 months ago, I got tested and run some confirmation test to see if I am really positive. Sad to say I am and perhaps to myself a harsh stupidity.

    It’s so hard to deduce and accept this fact. However, I’ve come to learn and slowly accept this. I’ve started to read about HIV, what alternative steps can be done to boost and keep the immune system stronger and better each day.

    I’ve consulted counselors and they’ve shared to me that in the last years of endless pursuit to HIV cure, the scientific research had made progress. Not really sure how strong is the health assistance in the Philippines right now. I am here in the US now and they seem to have tagged HIV condition as something that can be controlled and with the proper guidance from your personal doctor you can live longer and be normal. Of course, having the virus would keep you from doing other stuffs but if you get the right help you are surely to aim more successes in your life. Don’t lose hope. I guess that’s what I am also telling myself each day. It’s not easy though but we have to fight and perhaps learn to inspire others too.

    I am uncertain how I got this since I’ve always been practicing safe sex. Out of the many men and the act, it got me. So I guess what I am saying at this point, even for most of the guys practicing safe sex, you can’t be sure if you have not really contracted the virus. So be tested each 3 months or 6 months.

    Of course, gettingn HIV isn’t a gay centered condition. So let’s not think so much of this as a gay virus.

    Charlie, I hope you get some insight from this. And also the other readers reading this comment.

    At the point, it’s better to seek companionship rather than alienate yourself. Solitude is dangerous because it gives you time to think about stuff that you wouldn’t normally think about. Just having someone to talk to can do wonders, you know.

    I just hope God will give you more strength to face your current situation and I can only imagine what you go through. I would say to still hang on to life, don’t end it, who knows, a few years from now, humans may find the cure for aids and it will no longer be fatal. Have faith and be positive, easy for me to say, but know what, it helps, try to give yourself to others by doing volunteer work and charity, make sure that you show people you love, how much you care for them. Try to make the most out of life, I guess that’s how it should be, in sickness or in health live life to the fullest. Its never really too late to start living.

    Charlie are you in the Philippines? I had my first HIV test (rapid anonymous 20 minutes) in San Francisco last year. I was 28 and it was my first time to get tested. I would say I had about 100-150 sexual partners (mostly from the Philippines) and I was bottom and usually I do it bareback. I told the counselor I wouldn’t be surprised if I was HIV positive. It turned out negative and I was relieved and thanked God. I found out people living with HIV now live longer with the medicine available but they are quite expensive and usually only available to developed countries. I now always do protected sex especially with anal. I can’t imagine dealing with this sickness but I think what you should do is be positive and talk to people with the same condition. Kudos to you for trying to live a normal life. Just be safe and be positive.

    tryi to live normally as possible, HIV is hard to deal with, but if you try to boost your immune system by being more positive about life, it will help you live longer. You have no choice but to live life, dont get depress, go to the gym work out, eat healthy foods, try to live a healthy and safe lifestyle. There is more to life than waiting for your death, coz you sound as cold as a dead man to me. Come on dude life is still worth living no matter what. If you want to know about living life email me, I have so many things to share.

    Charlie,

    I am based here in San Francisco and have worked in the healthcare industry for a few years. I have worked with a lot of HIV positive patients, social workers, nurses and doctors specifically treat HIV patients. There is a lot of developments in HIV arena. HIV might sound really, really bad but it is not a death sentence. Cancer patients have a higher mortality rate. Talking care of your health physically, mentally and emotionally will definitely help. It sounds easier said than done but it is not the end of the world. It feels like it sometimes but it is not.

    This is the first time I ever responded to any message in this site but I hope my two cents helps. I know you might have a lot of questions, frustrations, anger but seek help and find your support system. And please e-mail me if you have any questions and in need of support.

    this story kinda makes me feel a little bit queezy..wierd.. brrr..chills and shrills… i think i’m actually like you back then, and yep you cannot actually realize things as they are if you lose it.. in this case, you have it (hiv), and you lost it (time).. good thing i’m loyal to my love… i had many unsafe sex before too and now, yup you reminded me to be extra careful coz i have many dreams too, and to think i care for other people also (nurse)… medically, nothing can cure it but the heck.. i still believe miracles do happen sometimes.. winky winky..

    Bro, i’m pretty positive that in 5-7 years time, they will have discovered something that will significantly treat if not cure HIV. In the meantime, take care of your health, work as hard but not stressed as you can (that treatment years from now might cost a bit), and bring joy to the people around you. Remember, you are still full of life ‘now’. Forget ‘ahead’. No day but today.

    Hi Charlie!

    Like you, I am HIV+ too, I only found out recently that I am HIV+..Like you, I wanted to work abroad not just for me but for my family as well-I can relate since we are on the same boat..

    You see the the truth is, there are only 2 choices a) Do you want to live? b) Do you want to die?

    If you choose to live, it’s going to take alot of work! It won’t be easy & you have to help yourself 1st. Support will always be there for you but you have to want to be better…There are anonymous support groups you can go to or phone numbers if you want to talk to someone..

    If you choose to die, i suggest you don’t spread the virus…

    It’s you choice! I hope you make the right one
