Hi everyone,My name is sharon. My brother is in the hospital in such pain. He has been going thruogh some very awful changes. He never took an aids test. Although he has been feeling sick for 16 years. Well he finally had to have the test a few days ago. He is now learning the cost of not getting tested early. His t cell count is 18 we know nothing about this. Other than it's very low. He will be going home tomorrow without any meds. I am so angry with him for how he handles the other woman /mens lives. How these poor people will feel finding out this. How do you get over this if Your the family member not infected?

You say he was sent home without any medicine. If he is extremely sick, then he definetly needs medicines for whatever diseases is attaching his body. For instance, if he has Thrush, then he needs anti-fungal medicine to get over this.
Anger is nomral in a lot of siutations in life, whether you are the victim or a family member. Try not to let it eat at you as this is non-productive. You need to concentrate on how to best help your brother even when you are on an emotional roller coaster yourself.
You might want to have your brother look into the drug LDN, which has helped so many. Go to google and type in LDN, go to its homepage. I no longer take the anti-virals for lots of reasons. However, I do take LDN going on 17 months now and I haven't even had a cold.
When I was diagnosed, I had so many problems and was extremely sick. I was relieved to get a diagnosis. I am a strong person so I took the news well. You see, I do not believe in incurable diseases because if one thinks that one is going to die, one will. I am a fighter due to vairous hurdles that I've had to face in life, including cancer.
I hope that your brother is stong too so he will have a fighting chance.
I think he will be better once he has started those meds. He may get them by Tuesday. Thanks again
My hub died of full-blown aids, while in the hospital thinking he was dealing with lymphoma and a staff infection caused by the port implant.
Before he passed, he told ONLY me that he tested HIV+ and not that he had full-blown aids. I believe that they told him he only had weeks to live. I believe that alone caused him to completely clam up. I was tested two days following his mention of HIV and am + too.
One great benifit of this and other sites, it that you can talk with others who have been there and done it so to speak. We do not speak from theory but from experience and you will find honesty as we have no motive not to be otherwise.
There are two other sites that you might want to go to, hiv voices.com and living without HIV drugs.com. There too,you will find real people who will help you.
