so here it goes, in 2019 i was attending my 4th year university classes at mekelle universty, and there was a blood donation programme organized by tigray redcross (key-meskel) it stayed for few days approx.15 days, so i felt responsible and i donated 1 sack/bag of blood. so about a day after i donated blood, i got a phone call informing me of a ‘serious health condition’. i was also informed that i was permanently excluded from donating blood. i tried to convince myself that it was something else, but when i hear the nurse calling me, i pretty much knew i had hiv. my suspicion was confirmed after reviewing my results with the blood center and taking another test to confirm my diagnosis at mekelle referral hospital, i even went to a private clinic and similar result came out, i freaked out i felt suicide is the only way out. i was depressed as hell, then i joined a support group, and eventually i started taking the medicines, i accepted my status and moved on. and after taking the medicines for two months Covid came ena wede beteseb temelesku, i didn't tell anyone about my status. tinish ketetetekmku buhala alekebgn medhanitu, i couldn't get extra med because kebet mewtat alchalkum, so i discontinued the drug for seven months, sewnete betam tegoda ena october mecheresha akbabi severe yehone fever agatemegn, salm neberegn. so my elder brother took me to hospital (teklehaymanot to be specific) ena i was diagnosed for severe pneumonia, the doctor also suggested me to check for hiv, i was afraid ena be wendme gefafinet i took the test, but i was shocked when i see the result, it said i was negative. mamen slalchalku i even went to few other clinics ena result still negative new. so please is there anyone with similar experience? or any health worker to explain what i am experiencing? i'm worried 😑
