HIV+ Ingrid Shares Her Story

[@jesusislord9758]

30 years ago my high-school invited a lovely young lady with HIV as a speaker. When she was diagnosed with HIV as a teen she was terrified of passing the virus to her family so she would wash her used dishes with bleach. It was heartbreaking.

[@jasminepolanco4039]

I love this ! Transparency.... acceptance.. and taking care of your mental health by sharing your stories !

[@delherrera2200]

I got diagnosed recently on April 11th and on the 27th same month I got me treatment my cd 4 was 373 and viral load and my doctor told me that I got an acute HIV infection. Your videos make me to be stronger and everyday I watch your all Videos and thank you for all this job and helping us.

Two amazing, educated, beautiful, smart women.

[@Pozleigh]

Thank you! That’s very nice and appreciated. I always want people to see what they don’t expect with HIV, no drugs , not gay, not crazy, few sexual partners, healthy, athletes, educated, moms. HIV doesn’t equal anything bad, just a human condition. ♥️

You are both are inspiring me so much. I’m enjoying this interview🤩

[@jimaalex2656]

Waohh this lady said this is not a guy I picked in the middle of nowhere like Africa. Really lady? Not everyone in Africa has HIV. I just find that comment to be very disturbing even though I love everything Jennifer is doing to bring more awareness to people. Am glad you followed up with the question as to where the boyfriend or husband is from. You caught that👏

[@zyajones9360]

Stop being trigger ...,,her diagnosis was very devastating for her .

[@PharmacyTechLabs]

​@Nurse zemo Nonthe women is kind of biased. But Europeans tend to be very sexually open. So I'm really not shocked.

[@cttofl]

Stop denying truth and saying it’s somehow safe to pick up someone on the side of the road in Africa? HIV is very common in regions of Africa and her analogy makes sense.

[@PharmacyTechLabs]

@@cttofl Yes, but HIV does not discriminate. Also, Europeans tend to be very open sexually.

[@Pozleigh]

HIV absolutely discriminates. Hetero men aren’t affected by this. Men in Africa are having sex with men and giving it to women. Being gay in some parts of Africa is punishable by death. Women are blamed as a result. There are zero studies on gay men in Africa. None. Easier to blame it on women.

[@cjdescalade]

Two amazing strong women ❤️❤️

[@lepanhman]

Ingrid is gorgeous

[@PharmacyTechLabs]

Hiv is not just a harmless disease. I've seen people dying of Aids it was horrible.

[@Pozleigh]

They don't today with the medications now available to everyone, it's not the 80s/90s.

[@melanatedandlovingit1305]

Oh wow people still talking about Africa. Hmmmm unconscious bias maybe, imma call it that. We all know how it got to Africa, right? Imma leave it right there. Other than that great interview

[@greatspirit]

Are you twins? LOL... We sure have doublegangers...

[@browneyez7500]

Doppelgänger

[@Brookzplayzmuzic]

These women are so darn beautiful that they could tell me this at the table on a first date and id still think about rolling the dice.😅😅

[@Pozleigh]

There is no dice to roll, we’re undetectable, we cannot transmit. Anywho, thanks.

[@matovicmmilan]

You believe "everything happens for a reason" right? Then please explain me why 4-5 year old children get cancer since I can't come up with any justifiable reason!

[@agostinhovideira1820]

Why people think Africa is a place of sickness

[@Pozleigh]

The rates of HIV are higher in Africa than anywhere else in the world.

[@Kitten9011]

People think that way because almost two thirds of all infected individuals are living in Africa. It has originated there so that may be a reason as well. It’s obviously possible to get infected anywhere in the world at this point.

[@constanciabeswick9404]

Anybody can cauth..don't need be or to go to Africa..chenge your mind..

[@amazonaccount1057]

Hello Jennifer , I’m Mike , hope you are doing well. I have potential risk exposure 8 years ago. Finally I took step to take HIV testing through Ora quick saliva for 5 times and came as negative. And I purchased an early well HIV home test with finger prick blood sample and came negative as well. But still I have some doubts as I have some weakness in my legs and some burning sensations some times. Will these tests fine or do I have to take blood work from veins? Please provide your insight

[@zyajones9360]

Go too the doctor and go get tested ,

[@Brookzplayzmuzic]

Probably have fibromylgia

[@Kitten9011]

I understand you’re stressed but if you think your exposure was 8 years ago, if you were positive it would really be on the test. These tests are really good and it’s almost impossible. I’d urge you to go to your GP and ask them to do some investigations. There’s a lot of other stuff that can cause the symptoms you’re describing. Erase HIV from the options and focus on getting diagnosed towards other conditions. I wish you good luck

[@LiLLaLa707]

First I would like to say I appreciate you both sharing your stories as I know they do provide support to so many. With all due respect I was disappointed but not totally surprised by the racial bias in this video and somewhat of a pattern I have noticed in your videos where you seem to be very comfortable making blanket statements. Like "hetero men don't get HIV" or "Woman can't/don't infect men" implying that women are only infected bcuz their male partners are secretly bisexual or just gay on the "down low" etc. More specifically when Ingrid said something to the effect of "not like he was from the middle of Africa". Africa is a continent made up of 50+ countries. Countries w/ different cultures, languages etc. The highest concentration of HIV/AIDS being in Sub-Saharan Africa places like Eswatini, Lesotho and South Africa. I do not remember the exact year of the study by SOS Children's Village (guessing btwn 2012-14) tested a school of children and 28% of the girls 15 years or younger tested positive while their male counterparts were tested at 4%. There are many factors that contribute to the epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa like extreme poverty, severe discrimination/stigma, access to sexual health education/medication and sexual gender based violence. All I am saying is it is not helpful to make a blanket stigmatizing statement about an entire continent of people while simultaneously trying to break the stigma about HIV. That being said I genuinely appreciate you using your platform to give everyone a voice. I will continue to support your work and look forward to your continued advocacy.

No no no why do you use the word africa im from south_africa and im not infected with hiv you must use your words correctly anone can get hiv weather you from africa or amerca i love watching these programs but please just use your words correctly

[@Pozleigh]

I think she was referring to Africa because it’s well known that the rates are the highest there. I understand how that could be taken as disrespect, but I don’t think she meant that.
