Hey everyone :) So much has happened to me and my channel from where this video ends. I actually won an award for my channel recognizing my leadership in HIV/AIDS advocacy from the AIDS Drug Assistance Program presented to me in Washington D.C. September 2018. My story and journey didn't stop with this video.
Visit my main channel page for more on my life with HIV and my TH-cam journey. Over 200 videos uploaded. I am honored to share my journey with you!
/ @pozleigh
ABOUT THIS VIDEO: On February 15, 2016, I was diagnosed with HIV, 1 week later, I was diagnosed with AIDS. This is my documented story of where I was in my life when I found out, what I went through during that time and what has happened since. The entire video was produced and edited by me, a true labor of love. I really hope it gives a clear representation of what it was like to receive this diagnosis and survive having AIDS.
REGARDING THE BLURRED INDIVIDUAL: since our divorce, this individual has asked that he not be represented on my channel and/or videos. I have fulfilled his request, therefore, his image will no longer be associated with me, my channel or HIV.

When entering a new relationship, it's prudent to use condoms till both parties have had STI blood tests. This is what I've always done to stay safe.
It's even more prudent to get tested first.
Same here
Sure.
But you can still get it later when the trust is established already. Sad!
2.9k dislikes? But why?
This woman is stronger than a piece of diamond.
Awww, thank you! :)
out of 55.9 k people 53 k were decent caring people . i wish it were better but it could be worse
I was thinking the same thing
I think many people look at LIKE/DISLIKE on TH-cam,..the SAME as they know it on Facebk...
Maybe they hit Dislike, to show support.. "Oh Im sad for you"..
I dont think everyone knows, that Likes/Dislikes have different effects on TH-cam.
@@jupitereye4322 exactly why.
I have HIV for thirty yrs now and don’t give too much of my time , I take my meds , eat healthy foods and exercise .
I some way I feel lucky as I now pay way more attention to my health then I ever would have . I’m sixty eight . Married and have a good life .
It’s possible , you just have to make the necessary changes .
This video now has me thinking that being single and a virgin isn't as bad as it is made out to be... ☣️
tis a fate worse than death
Don’t deprive yourself of a healthy life. Just be smart. You could get it by a needle too you know. I don’t have it, but you gotta be smarter than that. More than sex can give you a disease.
Right on
You right.
no, it is bad. stop lying to yourself.
don't trust anyone with your body! protection first and then when you decide to enter a serious monogamous relationship! full blood test should be done before thinking of having unprotected sex
My words exactly all the time
faffounette Omg yes yes! Don't be shy to ask your partner.
People get raped, , people inject needles into their bodies, people get blood transfusions all the time , you can't hide from the disease you can just hope you dont get it
Or just don't have sex.
thats it!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m tearing up because your story has really made me think about being more careful and staying protected. Thank you so much for being brave.👏🏼💛
having aids doesnt make you brave
Eric Luken I meant her being brave enough to share her story.
I'm 65 and growing up there was no AIDS. Yes there was STD's but nothing that penicillin couldn't fix. STD's was something that was on the other side of the tracks. When AIDS began showing up in the media my generation for the most part were ok with it because we were told only homosexual's could contract it. Misinformation and I guess stupidity took so many people that maybe didn't have to die. Now I think it's imperative that education needs to let the kids of today know how to protect themselves instead of telling them abstanence is the only way.
Glad you've been prompted into thinking about your safety. People have become a bit lax about HIV now.
@Khetman of the Zaporozhyan Cossack Host My friends HS classmate got AIDS via a tattoo needle in Mexico and died 2 years later
Hi Jennifer, I've been living with HIV since 1988. I've been through all the meds and the side effects. I've converted to full blown AIDS and gone into remission several times. When I was diagnosed, I was certain I would be dead in 5 years. I threw caution to the wind and lived my life with complete disregard for my health. It took losing the first person I've ever truly loved to make me realize what I was doing. I turned my life around and started taking care of myself. I went back to work as a police officer. A Gay man with HIV a police officer - not heard of in the early years of AIDS. Flash ahead to present day. I am non-detectable, healthy and happy and 59 years old. I retired from the police department as a Captain.
It takes people like you, that refuse to give up, to show people that this is not a death sentence. Unfortunately it took losing the love of my life to turn things around for me. Thank God, there are people like you that are willing to share their story and reach out to help people that are going through what we have been through. It takes incredible courage.
Every time I run to a truly special person that is doing remarkable and selfless things to keep people alive, I like to thank them. Thank you Jennifer.
We've come a long way!
Thank you SO much for telling your story to inspire us to stay Brave. Blessings. 💖🤗💕
My cousin got some tests done and the doctor told him he had HIV. About a month later he comes back and the doctor is like, "My bad, just diabetes" . Can you imagine living a month thinking you had HIV and what that would mean forever?
Just diabetes? Diabetes is just as bad.
That is one fucked up doctor who fucks with others' lives😔
😭
I dated this girl off and on for a long time and after a pretty long break she insisted I get tested before we have have sex... I didn't, and we had unprotected sex a few times over a the span of a night. A couple days later she goes and gets herself tested. The day after that she calls me and tells me she is positive for Hepatitis B, that I need to get tested, and it's clear she assumes I gave it to her. I get tested and get a call from the nurse the next day... Nothing, all clear, no Hep B. I call my ex and tell her and at this point we are both confused. She gets tested again and tells me that it comes back negative for Hep B and that the first check was just a screw up. She apologizes and tells me she's extremely sorry for blaming me. To this day I don't know if she lied and she actually did have Hep B or if it was just some mistake.
I would’ve shot myself as soon I found out. A month is too late
I showed this video to my friend who recently got tested positive with HIV and it gave him hope. You’re positivity is an inspiration. Much Love ❤️
Amen 🙏❤️
Your ex is a flipping coward. I'm glad you are doing well
I am highly upset that your ex and the clinic didn’t have the balls to call you and tell you to become tested for the virus. I am sorry that you had to go through this. May you get through this ordeal!!
This video is very important. Nobody talks about HIV/AIDS anymore. When people don’t talk about it, they assume it’s no longer a risk or they just completely forget that it’s even a thing. That’s very dangerous.
It's not really a think anymore. Ask Magic Johnson. He's still kicking it.
its not really a thing anymore. nor tht much of a death sentence at all
That is because people are not dying anymore. People with HIV, are living longer .
@@ebogar42 get it if its not dangerous
Its a dangerous disease on earth
I hope nobody gets it.
Wow. Imagine if her ex bf would have told her as soon as he found out instead of “relying on the clinic to tell her” which is probably a damn lie, she could have managed the hiv sooner. Someone needs to be charged.
I don't really know how I ended up here. I don't have or know anyone with HIV. It's never been a part of my life. But just wanted to say you seem like a wonderful person, I wish there were more people with attitudes like yours. Sending love from the UK
Respect, care, and let's support, it's not ending of life. Fighting
I got here because I was looking for the aids ball commercial from the 2000s
Same here. I was watching videos on juicing and healing my gut biom and this popped up and I'm a curious being so of course I clicked and watched. So glad for the happy ending though and so happy that her mate and her ended up getting married. Beautiful story.
🙃🙃🙃
From what I learned in school, 90 percent of the time after contracting HIV you will experience some type of symptom, even if it’s a mild symptom. This must have been overlooked many times. Poor woman i hope she lives life to the fullest and God bless you for being brave enough to tell your story
I was shocked when Jennifer first said she was 45 when she met Eric. Looked early 30's to me.
Me too she is stunning n looks way too young 😘
Lovely job with this video! My mom was diagnosed with AIDS in 1999, and is still thriving. Every day is a gift! Thank you for sharing your story and I pray it gives others the strength they need to conquer their fears. God bless you and your sweet soul!
u probably cried urself to sleep every night girl ur so strong that’s for sharing ur story
Hahaha funny as fuck. She let chad and Tyrone have a couple of gos at her and now she has to deal with the consequences of her actions. What a poor lady
Your statement is super condescending the fuck is wrong with you. It's always black people that say the most fucked up shit, i swear i wasnt racist until i started actually meeting black people
I actually only cried one day when I was frickin sick of being sick, but I never cried about my diagnosis. I really didn't. Thank you for watching. xo
@Kevin Richards shut up, she know that she is over 18. It's just a saying
@@TungstenCarbideProjectile shut the fuck idiot.
My dad had it. He started losing weight in 1993/94. Wasn't official until his diagnosis in 1996 when he got sick. He survived FBA before there was medication. Passed away in 2019 from lung cancer. Thought I would lose him in '96 or '97, grateful for the extra time we had, but man I miss him so much it really hurts all day every day.
🙏
Keep patience and pray for yourself your dad and for all human beings to the Creator of whole universe and ask God to guide you and all on right path!
I'm always scared and paranoid about losing my parents so I can't imagine...
I pray he guides you daily and may you guys be reunited again one day
How did your dad get it?
It amazes me these days how many young single people go out every weekend and “hook up” without using a condom. I am sorry that this happened to you. I am glad that you finally got Dx and are feeling better. I am amazed at your courage and glad that you took something so bad and turned it into a way to help and educate other people. You are a hero.
Not sure why this was recommended but thank you for sharing your story! God bless! Be strong!
same here 2020
Maybe you needed to see strength and someone who can get through something reminding you that you can get through anything life throws at you.
eric is a angel for staying with you god bless you and him
@Klik B th-cam.com/video/YSBLfj2GAc8/w-d-xo.html
@@Pozleigh hope you the best, Jennifer ♥. But, how did your ex have the virus?
@Klik B how the hell is he a stupid fool? You do realize partners just have to take antiretrovirals to prevent from catching it? He is sticking by her side because she is the woman he loves and cares about. These are the literal ignorant comments from uninformed people that she was talking about having to deal with
Well he's has hiv too now so why would he leave?
He’s not an angel. He’s informed. No doubt she’s an angel for putting up with him sometimes.
HIV is such a terrible thing. Each year I pray they find a cure they way they did for Hepititis C. I pray they do. God Bless you Jennifer, and God bless all those who have had the strength to overcome this disease.
Am at work and I fucking cried my eyes out in office!!!!!!! I have HIV/Aids and am having a hard time coping with it. Thank you queen
I'll send you a silent prayer.
Remember, you are loved.
Amen.
This is the first picture video I watched all the way through. You are strong
Thank you, I worked on it forever, it's always nice to hear that people watch it all the way through. xoxo
+Jennifer Vaughan God bless you .
Locdvibes where are you from? I’ve never heard these be called picture videos. I also watched it through and enjoyed it.
@@Pozleigh ,) it is legit the only pic video i have watched all the way too. Good job on it.. Love your sense of self. It just a virus that you have..a treatable virus..it isn't who you are. Get your man on PREP & you won't have to deal w/ condoms. Women have vaginal birth under viral loads of 1500..
@@starbelly6349 You still must take all precautions, even with so called vaccine, remember there is never 100% effectiveness.
3k dislikes? One of more things I didnt understand on this world. Someone sharing her experience and journey to put awareness and some people didnt appreciate. More power to you Ma'am. Godbless
Shout out to Eric being the absolute chad. Amazing relationship goals.
Who would want to be a Chad? lol I like being Eric the asshole.
I don't know how I got here but i'm glad i watched. Im glad you overcame and didn't let the virus overcome you. Good luck and best wishes.. you have one more new subscriber
Same, with me! Wow what a incredible video. My heart is SAD for you OMG. Life is beautiful and you are a STRONG women. Be there get strong, healthy, for your kids, bf, family, friend's, but do this for YOURSELF!! You are in my thoughts and prayers!!!;
I said same thing!
WhiteShark Cafe How did Eazy-E not survive
I watched a smoking PSA 🤷
WhiteShark Cafe facts
My uncle died by Hiv. And his wife and 2 kids are perfectly living without any sickness.. it's a big miracle happens in my family. Definitely miracles will happen in your life. God bless you.
@@NylonStrings83 u dumb?
No he's not dumb, what he is saying is correct.
When your immune system becomes really weak you are susceptible to things like pneumonia, certain types of cancer etc.
Once you develop one of these complications you are then classed as having aids. If you recover from these complications you will once again say I am HIV positive but wouldn't say I have aids.
@@NylonStrings83 : Everyone already knows what you just said. What everyone also knows is that it is HIV that leads to AIDS. And so far there is no cure. So yes, the HIV virus kills.
My daughter's college roommate was diagnosis with HIV two years after they graduated. Before telling his family and moving back home he stayed with us while transitioning and coming to terms with telling his parents. When I made him feel normal by acting normal, he told my daughter our family made telling his family a lot easier. He's doing well today and has a great relationship with his family !
To fail to tell her is inexcusable. That's how it spreads. It's frightening how many younger people are almost completely unaware it's real and it's out there.
Get tested every now and again if you’re raw digging it. It’s coming sense.
Someone like Jenn is a person who's not letting the past get her down. Instead she's one of the brave people using this & spreading awareness for others.. that's a strong woman! 🙏🏼 that's a fighter! That's a survivor!
I agree sharing her story with us.
Facts facts facts
That is awesome.
Your'e a hero. My grandmother passed away in 2011 from AIDS-related complications. She didn't tell anyone and never got treatment because of the stigma. So really, it was the stigma that killed her, not HIV.
Awwww... man that’s so sad I’m so sorry this happened the world can be a very cruel place
I'm so sorry and yes this is a true reality of the virus.
TheWizzardOfRandom wait a minute she had HIV and never got treatment, exactly how long did she have it? I don't by it though....
I know how your grandmother felt, and why she would do that.
So sad
I was just a kid when I read a book about a little boy named Ryan White and that boy taught me so much. Not just about AIDS but about humanity. Thank you for sharing your journey!
I had a lot of friends die from this horrible disease. I was one of the lucky ones. My friends were rejected by their families, friends, churches, and society. It amazes me that some people are still so ignorant when it comes to this topic. Great video!
Hi Jennifer I was diagnosed with HIV just a few months ago I'm just coming to terms with it I'm on medication my doctor said that it not like it used to be I will admit that I am scared thank you for your story
how could your ex boyfriend have the audacity to know he had hiv and not reach out to you this story is so inspiring and genuinely makes me so proud of someone who got through all of that ❤️
I just want you to know that you don't have to ever feel ashamed. I'm so proud of you. You are doing great.
Thank you. And, nope, I never do. 🧡😊
I thank you for sharing this experience of yours with us all. Your strength to teach us rather than to surrender is a life lesson to all who watch this video 🙏🏼! Wishing you, your family and Eric the best of wishes for NEVER abandoning YOU ❤️!
With today medication you going to have a normal life and if you live a healthy life the virus eventually is going to be undetected but never stop taking you medication, blessings!!!
When I worked EMS........I went 2 pick up a patient and as Im getting out of the ambulance- my partner "warns me" this person has HIV I been here before....wear double gloves........the PATIENT told me (b4 I ever touched them) " I have HJV/AiDS.......everyone double gloves- u need a second pair of gloves......my response "thanks for letting me know but- Im good......one pair is more tham sufficient" that persons smile couldve lit 10,000 light bulbs
Shannon Murphy I work in nursing and they do the same at my hospital and it always surprises me how the most educated medical professionals allow fear to override their basic knowledge and medical training when it comes to caring for patients with hiv
It's not necessarily fear of contracting HIV that makes me (also an EMT) double-glove, but a fear of getting my patient sick. Remember they have severely compromised immune systems. The "good bacteria" from your own breath could kill them.
Shannon Murphy it’s HIV, not “HjV”
And the second pair of gloves was not for your own security, it was for the patient security, cause they have the risk of getting any type of saprophyte bacteria right straight from your hands.
Awesome!! Nurses double gloved when they administered my chemo drugs....but that stuff is sheer poison. Glad this EMT understood what the HIV virus is actually about!
Its pathetic how people are like eww dont touch them or dont drink after them like there people 2 they didnt ask for there illness nobody does. Were gonna die anyway im gonna go bout life as if im dieing tomorow cause 2day is wat im living for.
You're such an amazing and strong PERSON for doing what you did!!! You have changed the lives of so many you don't even know yet. I know you've heard this a thousand times but as nurse I'm so thankful we have folks like you helping others, you don't know how much It truly makes a difference! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!
I don’t have AIDS but this video came up on my feed and I’m crying! You are so strong girl!! Keep doing what you are doing:)
This is why I’m constantly paranoid about sex. Anyone can cheat and the only way to almost completely avoid getting this is abstinence. I don’t care how clean, nice or “in love” someone seems because “many” people cheat and don’t even have the decency to wear a rubber. I know that just because someone has sex with someone with HIV that it doesn’t necessarily mean the other person will get It but anyhow I can’t imagine what mental hell this beautiful lady has gone thru 💜
Am I the only person who initially thought Eric had given it to her?🤣🤣
I did that on purpose, otherwise I probably would never have mentioned Tinder.
Billy Brantley Omg I did😂😂
Why you gotta ruin the video for others tho 😣
Jennifer Vaughan how come Eric isn’t effected, or was He using protection ( condom) ?
@@bouwernicolaas8696 very difficult for a male to get HIV from a female because their genitalia are created to squirt sperm and female body fluid will sit outside the penis and not likely to enter, as with females where sperm is inserted into the vagina and can stay there for a longer period. Making them more susceptible for STD's. However if you look at stats more males are infected due to male to male sexual contact. It is so important to know your status and be open with your partner.
I’m so happy to see that your positive attitude and the support of the people who love you got you through this
You are a star, stay bright to give hope to others!
Glad you’re better. Prayers sent. I had a relative who got HIV/AIDS from a surgery. This was back in the 1980’s. She was looked at funny because everyone thought she was some sort of junkie or prostitute. Nothing could be further from the truth. I hope you live a long fruitful life. God Bless.
Your ex should get prosecuted for not telling you he Was positive.. And maybe had given it to others
The problem is that in the state of California, our retarded governor made it legal to not discuss about your STI status to your partner. This includes HIV as well.
EXACTLY. If anyone did this to me..lol I'm killing them IM SERIOUS
Daniel1982
You don’t get prosecuted unless you knew you had it when you had a sexual relationship with one person without informing them
However the hospital or doctors office that was supposed to call the girl can be prosecuted.
@@elmoworld850 This is horrible. California is quickly becoming a state without protective laws... But this should be Federal Law. Then California can suck it.
As they say, one step forward, two steps back. I do not understand these people who are supposed to champion the people and protect them. Governors like yours are useless!
@@jamiearmstrong2173 It's not the hospitals job. They can be sued for breach of confidence... It was up to that scumbag of a person to be upfront about his status with his or their partners. But they are a scumbag of a person, so how much honesty can you expect from someone like that?
The exact reason why you trust no one and protect yourself before giving anyone the benefit of a doubt.
Your ex-boyfriend should have contacted you out of sheer decency. Almost 3 years with the virus and you didn't have a clue. My heart breaks as I watch this.
WHERE'S MY WIG its actually a responsibility for him to contact her
I'm pretty sure him telling the clinic her information (7:45) was due diligence, plus keep in mind that he had no idea also, and was dealing with his own reality shattering. It's absolutely heartbreaking, but I'm angrier at the clinic for not contacting her.
He probably thought that he had done his duty giving in her name, address and number to the clinic.
As a mom and a partner I felt the tears building up in my eyes! Such a strong woman! Thank you for sharing your story! I never even knew you could have hiv and not pass it to your partner. Education is key❤ Keep on keeping on! 💯
Jennifer, thank you so much for sharing your story! You are SO SO incredible and such a light. I’m a nursing student and researching HIV. I loved how you shared your lab numbers! Hearing your story allows me to get a real life understanding not just a book definition. Thank you again and I am SO happy you were able to fight this and have such a positive attitude. You will help so many others in so many ways!

Hope all is well 🌻🎈💋 Xx
5:17 The point when tears started to flow... I'm praying for all those people who have HIV.
Lots of Love and prayers from India 🇮🇳
@@countdamoney8128 Why the hell should they get it?
My uncle passed away in the 90s he was a loving man I miss him everyday. In a bid to find medication that works he allowed himself to be a trial Guinea pig, so others could have their tomorrow.
My uncle never got his tomorrow and I tell myself the work he did gave other people their tomorrow was worth our loss, they have family to hold, laughter to share and memories to make. And as much as I yearn for him, his heart and ambition to give to others was worth all the heartache.
I lost him at the age of 11 I’m 36 now, and at times I catch myself in grief all over again.
Please live your life fullest and grasp life and all the experiences the world has to offer you ❤️ you are worth all the love and kindness in the world and a better tomorrow.
You are a true inspiration for others who suffering and leave all the hope , keep fighting

She was my substitute teacher for P.E
She is an awesome teacher! You are very lucky person, not many ppl want to admit they battle with this - HIV/ or aids - instead help educate others- so they do not have to fear the unknown,
@Zodiac signs How did you find out about her HIV status before her TH-cam post?
They didn't, no one knew until I went public on TH-cam. Then again that was only 5 months after my diagnosis.
@@Pozleigh Wow! Brave of you to go public. Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you for speaking out about this topic, I wish there was no stigma. We need more people in the world just like you.
U have my full support. I’m so proud of you, how strong you are!
Thank you for sharing your story. My mom passed in 1989 with aids. They did not have the meds like they do now. It was hard for me being so young at the time.
As a medical student, this motivates me to study harder. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏
As an HIV+ thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Yes me too I'm a sterile tech
Gross
As someone who cares about people, you should make a wonderful doctor...
Hope you keep this attitude.. it isn't easy but I hope you do...
The most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever watched
I’m so proud and happy for this woman! Thank you for sharing your story ❤️🙏
Absolutely happy HIV positive people start to have representation on media.
You are a warrior 😊 don't make people judge you because you've got HIV. There are a lot of good people around you. Good luck! Greetings from Italy 😘
I just want to say thank you for making this video! HIV/ AIDS it is a terrifying disease, but even more heartbreaking is the stigma around it. I am so happy to see you recover, I really hope that science could give us the cure once and for all, nobody deserve to have this sickness. I wish you the best
I don't know how I landed here, but you are a blessing to all those who suffer from this virus, & a light to all those who still stigmatise people with HIV. Keep up the great work!
This makes me think of Freddie Mercury. So glad we have the medication today. Stay strong fighter 💪🏼 ❤️
Boot Scoot me too
😢😢😢😢😢
This was really an eye opener. I'm glad you got better and continued to live a full life. Also, Eric a real ass nigga for that. Don't find ppl like him who understand and love regardless of what's going on. Last but not least I guess I'm gonna for sure stop hittin all these baddies raw. Shit got me shook.
That's such a sad story but I'm so glad there was sort of a happy ending. But good on her for facing her illness and still has a positive attitude and is helping other people understand the illness. I got to be honest watching this makes me realise I no very little about it myself. ❤️
Jenifer, you have such a powerful story. You are a gift, and I thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. Humanity as a collective is currently diseased with hatred, fear, and ignorance, and you are one of the cures. I'm truly grateful to have come across your platform, keep being awesome sis!
Jennifer you are incredible. You're an inspiration and a voice of hope for so many people. I came across your videos by chance and I just wanted to tell you how wonderful it is that you are educating others and contributing to fighting prejudice.
Eric is like a angel in your life :)
You are really an inspiration to everyone who has negative thoughts after being diagnosed with this VIRUS
This made me cry. I’m glad your doing better.
You did a great job putting this together. I'm sure this will make a big difference in some people's lives and give hope. Hope you are still well!
You are a living example of what people mean when they say "I have a disease, it doesn't have me." You have given courage and hope to so many. Thank you for sharing your story.
You go girl!! God Bless you....I have lost so many friends from hiv/aids. The virus hit my community like a storm from the 80's till now had been a huge change people are living with this disease for 30+ years..amd this became possible from people like you sharing your story! Thank you 😊and God Bless you ....
As a medical student , I wanted to thank you A LOT making this amazing video to make me understand all about the disease and what patients are going through during this process.

You are very positive person and I wish you great life with your family and your loved ones 😊👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻😊
Your a strong woman! Continue to educate people. Your saving lives! Thank you for sharing your story!
It was so sad seeing the photos of you so thin and sick 😔 I’m so happy that you ended up feeling better, have all the support you could ever ask for, and even got back to work and SURFING!!
I hope you stay feeling well for many many years! 💖
You are an AMAZINGLY BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS WOMAN ! Watching your story , I smiled when you did , and was sad when you were . Such was the power of your story !
Wowww, You took so much of your precious time doing the Video, Its wonderful and you are Wonderful.... Thank you so much for being here in this world... I pray to god for your healthy happy and prosperous life❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful and inspiring story. Keep telling it, and sharing what's possible for others out there who might have just been diagnosed and are afraid. You are a champion.
Wow, that's sad but I'm glad you're feeling stronger now Jennifer
This somehow got recommended to me by youtube . Honestly ,a truly inspiring story.
This is so incredible. For the love of God, I wish that you would have never had to go through this. But I'm grateful that you're doing well.
Always get STI tested before starting a new sexual relationship.
dragoncult666 and make sure the other person does too
How about just skipping the sexual relationship until real connections are built. Not after a month of texting and dinner dates.. You can get your STI testing but that wont tell you what they've done just before coming to your house or hotel or wherever.. the internet killed real connections.
T Mayo putting 2 condoms on makes them more susceptible to breaking. Only use one and get a good brand and have the correct fit.
I agree completely! No test results no love, and no glove no love!
XnO.Radio She said a new SEXUAL relationship. She could be dating a person and already has a connection with them. But before she actually has sex with them she gets them tested.
This broke my heart. Made me cry watching this. And even tho Eric still there for u is a blessing he didn't change on u he stilled loved you. May God continue to bless ur family 🙏💯💗
imani Martin maybe cuz he got aids too
And he's still here with me, going on 5 years together and blissfully happy. ❤ Thank you for watching.

@@aLittleBitofErrything if you gonna bash someone why you here. God dont like ugly dont treat ppl the way you wouldn't want to be treated 💯
Who else can he be with you have him something he can’t give no one else you basically trapped him
Sad that the ex/boyfriend did not say a word. Horrified that the clinic failed you. Hope you keep recovering
Im so sorry this happened to you.. I live in Quebec as well, Montreal to be exact. I'm so happy you recovered. No one deserves what you went through. That bastard ex! Thank you for this video Jennifer, I hope you live a happy life and if I ever see you in Quebec I'd give you a HUGE hug cause your a fighter and a survivor! Don't you ever forget that
Aww, thank you! :) When quarantine conditions end, I will definitely be back!
This is the first time I’ve ever come across someone strong enough to make a video like this and it gives insight on the reality of these things. My heart feels for you
Your story moves me to tears, I am really threatening because I am at risk right now. After one month of exposure to the risk of catching hiv, I got Hiv test in the fourth of July and I am negative. However, I have to go back after 2 months to get another test. I was terrified, so worry, and your story helps me a lot. Thank you so much. I know I'm still at risk but even if I have hiv like you, I will take you as an example so that I can fight my sickness. You are so brave and kind.
I was not expecting to click on this video to have a huge wave of emotions hit me on this morning at work. Good thing i have a private cube as I was hit with tears of saddness and then joy. Thank you for your story. You're a hero to so many!
Jennifer, I don't know your life in depth, but I praise you for the courage to come out and speak your truth! This COULD NOT have been easy! I hope this helps at least one person to see that "normal" people can get HIV without being crazed drug addicts and without running around sleeping with every person they can get their hands on! If you have sex ONE TIME with someone who is infected, it can happen! Thank you for your bravery in telling your story and I hope that you are thriving, surviving and fighting! Keep going and keep your head up Jennifer!
