August 22, 2024 - the day my life changed. Nagpa-test ako after tumawag ang ex ko dahil positive siya sa Syphilis. Though I had a chancre, negative ang initial syphilis test ko, pero doon ko nalaman ang isang balitang hindi ko inaasahan: I tested positive for HIV.

Regarding naman sa Syphilis. Noong September 2024, nung inulit ang Syphilis. test, nag-positive na rin ako sa Syphilis. Doon na naranasan yung antibiotic injection sa pwet. Jusko, napakasakit sobra!

Fast forward to March 2026: my CD4 is now 692 and I am still Undetectable! Thank you, Lord, for giving me another life and a second chance. Ang HIV ay hindi katapusan ng mundo. Early testing and treatment save lives. #EndTheStigma
