God Bless U!! ❤

Amen ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘

I am so sorry you and so many others were treated that way. I can understand some not wanting to know.

Very true!!

God bless you!!!

I’m negative( thank god) those people who never really loved you it seems. Like the love is conditional so therefore they weren’t your friends and neither was family was your family because they would only love you if only you were healthy and not HIV Poz. But in reality, you don’t need them to move on with your life.

If you need a southern sister I'll be your sister. I'm sorry your own kin disowned you, my dalring. 💙💙

I just couldn’t do it. Because that chance is just…there. But, it doesn’t matter because I repel the opposite sex and am on track to die a virgin. 😜

by be because y'all are O positive blood type all bloods are not the same

Glory to God!

Married to a woman?

@@tanit7741 Why are you trying to make a statement and disguising it as a question? Stop being passive-aggressive.

@@secondary955 it was an honest and relevant question

@@tanit7741 It was a attention seeking statement disguised as a question. Find some healthy attention.

You have treatment? Or take meds? If so how soon after that you detected you were and or when you were nfected? Asking for a friend

God bless

@@amandatillie9409 it's best to start treatment right away to keep immune system strong and prevent opportunistic infection and change diet to a healthy diet. But some people wait til their immune system starts to decline, but then you also risk spreading it.

I'm so sorry for your loss 😔💞

So sorry to hear about your grandmother. What was she like? From what you can remember that she was a pretty fun person. Whatever she had if she got HIV someone put it inside of her women don't just catch HIV it has to be put inside of them either by a blood transfusion or a man

God bless.. My Mom and Dad and Sister died from it

its a tv show

Yes. But get tested every 3 months

...interesting choice to give a child HIV

So do the daughter kids have it

@@juniorlodge9177 I’m not sure, I never asked my cousin but I’m hoping for great health over her daughter. Usually it’s a 50/50 chance of being born with the virus if the mother has it.

@@angellove1491 if the mother is on meds it won’t be passed down if she’s got the virus at an undetectable level

Dying at 47 is not living a full life

Hope you are doing well now....take care of yourself

Same thing happened to me in 2013 , have been managing it every since

@LaRhonda Idowu …i have lupus as well. After so many hospitalizations with pneumonia my lungs developed scar tissue and I was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension. I spent 11 years on oxygen. 6/30/21 I received a double lung transplant after being on the list for less than six months. I’m declaring healing from lupus! God is still working miracles. I’m no longer on oxygen. I’m free. Glory to God. People don’t think God has forgotten about you. HE is working it out for you.

We need a Vaccine against HIV by 2030. Far too many people have become infected over the last 40 years.

Sherlita Wilson we mourn with you because of the disease,

its a tv show

👁 👁 👄 The fear of Stigma😥 that's why she didn't want the test( in fear of what her aunt would say)😞 Silence= Death💀after 40 years of HIV/AIDS being in America🇺🇸Stigma is still keeping people from knowing their status😩

Amen

“Fear is a horrible little demon “ omg that’s gonna stick with me fr

Stop sleeping with. Black men🧿🧿🧿 some of them target black women purposely when they are diagnosed because they hate dark skin black women so much🧿🧿🧿that's a start

i pray and wish for the same. but the way people like to bare and raw dog without getting tested is beyond me. i rather be safe then sorry, no love or like can fool me

@@cgrant7176 straight truth!

And get tested as well

Another problem is the babies that are born with it because people want to think the government "made" HIV so big pharma could make money

Is that even legal? Its sharing medical information and even the deceased are protected.

@@ButtonsCasey Technically, yes, because it is considered educational; and the families may have signed off on being able to do so for case studies.

Doesn't showing the patient the pictures and medical files of those other patients violate HIPAA, even if they died a long time ago?

@@tintinismybelgian in cases like this, it is very common for patients or families to sign off on using their stories for educational purposes.

@@tintinismybelgian Also it doesn't unfortunately because the patient is deceased at that point, most families sign off on their loved ones bodies being used for research after they pass.

Cause everybody wanna humty humpty hump G shock

((hugs))

@@karmahleone1196I know people who were virgins and got it on their first encounter. One man got it from his only partner in his entire life, his wife!

Totally

Even after a patient dies, they have privilege to their records. It’s a massive violation.

Who cares? They would be dead. No one could sue them for it.

That is correct. You’ll go to jail or be fined

If they don't know that by know they should catch it. Imo

Not just Atlanta and not just men.

There are men like this everywhere. HIV is a down low disease idc what anybody says that is why gay men can't donate plasma or blood

@@kosmicinclinations3333 the red cross changed that about 5 years ago. But gay men and women who have knowingly had sex with a man who has had sex with other men were banned from donating blood since the 80's but now they say that if a gay man has abstained from gay sex for 1 year they can donate blood. I believe that's only to be politically correct because how many are gonna abstain and how can they prove it ? I believe they just throw it away if the donor states they are gay🤷

@@shemeciahaskell322 why do they have to abstain one year? Don’t they test for hiv before giving blood?

That’s crazy considering sickle cell isn’t something you ‘chose’ like the unjust stigma around aid or S.t.I.s. Interestingly the fact that African people are more likely to be born with sickle cell is proof of evolution. In Africa, one of the biggest killers is malaria. Malaria is blood born and sickle cell is literally a genetic condition that changes the shape of your blood cells, so people with one gene for sickle cell (you can have one or two and two is more severe) survived better in that environment for having that trait than people without sickle cell. Generations later here we are. The people with it went on to reproduce offspring with the genes. In that environment a trait that is usually detrimental became advantageous and so more generations with that same trait were born. This is a key concept of adaption and evolution.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I was born with it too. What state you in? St Louis is pretty good about it

What's there to understand about weak people? I mean, isn't it weird that people don't get the message? Weakness is a sign that nature is about to catch up with you soon, cz natural selection is good at thinning the herd.

ER docs are trash

@@HaloHighlightz Ohio is horrible I have it too

It occurs to me the scariest thing you can tell a doctor is "suit up for your own protection" without telling them why.

Yes, she does...

Maame Yaa Boafo is her name. Ghanaian actress with beautiful work of art. You should look at her other work... especially "An African City"

Sho nuff do!

This is a very good episode but the stigma of having the virus is very serious

I thought it was

They do😂

Not at all. I have sickle cell disease and it's rare to have an ER doc be understanding instead of judgmental!

Health practioners in general

RN here and yes it happens.

@@CrystalM1917 Yes Crystal, it happens but unfortunately it doesn't work exactly like this in real life, the reason why I say this is because I was once a professional until I injured myself, why working in the OR. on my patient, Now am fighting for my life, I've been back blackballed, you name it, then count me in. However, I would like to talk more with you, / elaborate more in-depth. But not at this particular moment. This I will leave with you, this TV, not what happens in real life Crystal, respected today and hated later, chat later. Thanks, channel holder, great episode Ms. Gwendolyn Pittman Tharpe,

Yep! I'm quite proud of them.

Where is that?

@@lizmowrey9866 india

From my understanding most hospitals have this policy now. It is illegal to let you leave the hospital without telling you your status if it’s positive but it is standard.

I wish it was mandatory everywhere..🙏🏽

Exactly.

Yes

I believe they are now. When I get a yearly physical exam..my Dr. automatically test me for STD & HIV.

@@dawnlee866 Their NOT. I get a yearly physical too & the only times I was tested for ALL STD's was when I was pregnant.

I dont get why you have to request the test at your yearly GYNO visit

@@momonie4 * they're and exactly only when you're pregnant do they check you for everything and even then you have to give consent.

Why did she stop taking her meds?

​@@pokemagetech Get a life

@@pokemagetechif she wasn’t married to her brother , she said just what it is.. her nieces mother. Mphr

YESSSSSS!!

Yeah I was gonna say, I don’t think you can do that

Yep, HIPAA still applies to a patient for 50 years after death. Multiple violations there.

It’s just a tv show so relax

Is there a possibility that HIV was created in a lab in a bid to eradicate all Black people and minorities in the globe.

It begs an issue as to where did the Virus ever come from. Bats or Chimpanzees.

So how do u feel u could compare Covid to hiv? Are u slow? Cause aids and hiv and Covid are NOt the same. Millions upon millions black and brown people succumbed because Washington refuse to see these people as people who needed care. It took for that shit to hit their very own homes for them to see and make change! Covid is not the same and it didn’t take years for them to make moves! Also black and brown people were disproportionately affected!

Other races just assume they don’t have it. They do! So it’s not disproportionate

@@jedidjab4346 We are disproportionately affected by HIV in the United States.We make up less than 15% of the female population in this country and account for over 50% of the new infections in women.

Blessings! Agreed!

I agree I worked in the pharmacy and I never saw us Black people buy condoms only two out of the hundreds bought them in the whole 5 years I was in the department. White people then Hispanic/Latino men last of all Asians bought them.

@@yoco7290 it would be disproportionate if percentage of population was the same. It’s simple math.

"The disease has reduced our life expectancy by 15 years since the early 2000s." You know; this is a case of a true statement being wrong. Rather it reduced a portion of the population's life expectancy by 40 years.

@@joshuahudson2170 I am not an epidemiologist so I do admit my mistake.

Yes, right here in the USA

What do u mean about HIV has also in COVID. I had covid but I didn't have HIV . My tests results for HIV and all sexually transmitted deases came out negative

@@thelifeofachicagochef the oh in my was meant to say “of”. Maybe I didn’t word it right but you have people who are walking around with HIV or either Covid and don’t know it. I’m not saying you both. A perfect example, I went to the hospital for my migraines. I have chronic migraines and they admitted to the hospital. Once they admitted me they tested me for Covid, mine you I had both shots and the booster. Guess what, my test came back positive. Me and my husband both looked at each other with disbelief. Had I not went to the hospital, I would’ve been walking around with Covid. Did I make myself clear. I hope so

@@gailjackson-chapman7085 yes but how are u doing with your migraines? I her that migraines are worser than headaches is that true?

@@thelifeofachicagochef yes, migraines are worse than any headache. When I get a migraine, my day is shot. In January, I was in the hospital for three days with my migraines. I was out of it. Thank you for asking ❤

@@gailjackson-chapman7085 your welcome

She sounds fun. May she rest well.

She sounds fun. May she rest well.

I’ve never heard of aids causing cancer.😮

@@Katlady001 it can.

It’s that very same thinking why they have such a high exposure rate.

It’s a scary thought for anyone to be “scared” or in “denial” in 2022. I PROMISE ppl are getting tested & have no clue! Your Dr write the order for test samples & BAM! That bloodwork can be screened for EVERYTHING without a patient knowing.

@@Rastaferrari829 In black men as well ! A lot men in general don't get tested it's sad ! That's why I trust no one with my body sex is not worth it. To many people scared of what can save their and others life. Everyone should get tested regardless of race, nationality or gender.

I'm not trying to sound judgemental But it seems some who are most sexually active & with multiple partner that have no concern at all of getting tested & I was with the same person for decades and got tested regularly why ..Because you can never trust anyone 💯..And there were times we went together..If your having unprotective sex ,with multiple people why would you not get tested, And demand a (recent test result from your partner)That is if you care ,Of course

@@aleshajohnson1065 I totally agree & if they cant produce a Recent test result....Dont go any further with them ..If they dont care about their health and status ,They wont care about yours

Omg 😳

@@chinareddjackson1295 FACTS true story.

More likely the other way around....hell, were u in the bedroom? Or know all of everyone's private sexual lives? 😒

That's sad as hell. Did she openly tell you that she had it or your cousin found out it was her that gave it to him? She should have been charged.

@@erehistruth2356 MY kids mother was friend's with her and the doctor came in the room and asked if my kids mom could step out for a minute and my cousins kids mom said she can stay she's family and that's when the doctor told her the bad news. When my kid's mom told me I didn't belive it at first. Then some few year's later she started getting sick and breaking out with lesionson her chest and face. We knew then she was HIV positive when she started breaking out with them was around 2000 she was told she HIV positive in 1994 she looked like stir fried shit at the end witch was 2010 and January 2011 she passed away. She had a very rough life but that's another story it's sad as HELL we all grew up together but didnt start hanging around each other till in the mid 90s. I'm just glad I never slept with her although I used protection when I ran the street's. I got married my cousin just started sleeping with any and every girl knowing he had that shit. The HEALTH department van was riding around looking for him. I have NO REASON to lie this is TRUE FACTS. She passed and they had her viewing funeral 2 weeks after she passed cause she didn't have insurance it's just sad she had 3 kids 2 of them were born with HIV one WASN'T.

Sexual transmitted infection (STI) it's not Sexual transmitted disease

I thought of Houston when I saw this 😮

Cancer is not sexually transmitted or directly preventable so that’s not really a fair comparison. I think Black ppl have to take some accountability in that. There’s a set of behaviors that precede a high HIV prevalence in a community. I literally had to stop sleeping with Black men altogether because I knew I was risking my life. There’s a culture there being perpetuated thats contributing to the high HIV rates and the men I talked to don’t want it to change. Then they went to turn around and be afraid to get tested because they already know they never use condoms. Not gone lie I’m upset that people ignore preventive measures until it’s too late.

@Love Jones girl they have whites in European countries with the highest AIDS rate but the media make black people the face of everything. You fell for it like most people. You're most likely around blacks the majority of times so you don't know what goes on with other races and you most likely believe anything the media tells you

@@MizzPrecious92 you are clearly not from Africa. Why do you think Aids hit black people the most, there was an intention to destroy the black person, it was cleverly planned. All races cheat but since this was planned to destroy the black man, so it will be. Scientists who have discovered cures for Aids have been killed because they will kill the purpose of destroying black people.

@@MizzPrecious92 Not to mention how men having multiple partners and not using condoms is normalised in black communities. It needs to stop, and women need to have a proactive role in their health and refuse to sleep with such men.
