I just watched this, and damn Jennifer...you have a wonderful way of talking to others. I am watching everything you put out up to this date, but I'm still catching up on past videos. You speak in such a way that helps anyone (regardless of personal situation) to feel comfortable. Blessings to you and your loved ones ❤
Steph I’m so proud of you, having watched you go through all of this at such a young age first hand, I’m so glad that your happy and healthy now, your an inspiration!
I love everything you are doing Jennifer!! You're such an inspiring person and a great human being. Thank you for getting REAL information and facts out there and crushing all the lies and gossip. Keep on being your best you!!!!!!
@@Pozleigh I had a finger prick then I had sex with a sex worker then I touched the condom with the same hand I had a prick 30 min early I panicked and rushed washed it with soap and water then I pressed it to check and it started bleeding do you think I contacted it my God am worried sick.
So happy you ladies have been able to find the strength, courage and determination to make a life that is truly fulfilling and rewarding in speaking openly and truthfully about your HIV diagnosis. I worked in hospitals and nursing homes and I became exposed to fluids like urine and blood from HIV, and Hepatitis C infected patients. The stigma is real and it is very difficult to understand and overcome. I remember the supervisor was all dead silent when I asked her if I needed to test myself, she was very uneducated woman who was not at all openly giving information about not having to worry about getting infected, we were not even told if the patients are on antivirals., which could have eased our minds and not make us live in panic for weeks and months.
Thanks for sharing this. Just so you know and anyone else who reads this know, HIV isn’t in urine and touching HIV infected blood won’t turn into a transmission. It’s sexually transmitted period. There was no risk in anything you described. ❤️
@@Pozleigh We were told that coming in contact with blood from HIV infected person can potentially lead to infection. If the person is on antivirals then as you say there is no such risk.
There’s no risk either way. They don’t know what they’re taking about. You could smear HIV infected blood all over your skin and nothing would happen. HIV is dead as soon as it hits oxygen and it doesn’t go through skin.
@@Pozleigh . Jen ur such a great interviewer. You make a person feel so comfortable. That young lady is so gracious and well spoken. I am happy she found her purpose in the midst of adversity… .
Doctors are so so... Idk. I remember being in the ICU with sepsis pneumonia and my blood work, idk what it showed but the doc was adamant that I had HIV. And I argued with him "no I don't I get tested all the time" (recovering addict but was active at the time). But like I said nothing he was like "let's do this test so we can start treating you"... Test was negative. But doctors are just so rude kinda about this stuff
You need to use condoms and get HIV counseling. I once was the same way and it landed me committed in a mental health facility. I lost my job, relationship…30lbs because I would not eat. I was at the Clinic so often I was told I could not come back!!!!!! For a certain amount of time. I was off the rails and was never satisfied with a neg test. I always thought I had symptoms. I made myself sick that’s for sure. If I could have handled myself with even a quarter of grace Jen demonstrates…It’s obvious she put her children and others first and did not behave selfishly even in her worst hours. So much respect
Also I feel you shouldn’t kick someone else health like diabetes because that’s kinda absurd ….. cause I feel like most people would choose diabetes! I get it’s a sickness but someone who has diabetes probably doesn’t want to be compared to someone with hiv just being honest like everyone just should deal with there own sickness instead of comparing and saying which is more “easier to live with “ just live
You must be new here, the odds of a woman transmitting to a man is 1 in 2500 exposures. And women don’t give HIV to women. It’s very safe to say, she gave it to no one.

Question, how has Covid hit you or the HIV+ community in general.?
THT is amazing as u are Xx
I'm terrified to ever get in a relationship again. I'm so scared of getting hiv that I'm on a first name basis with the local Urgent Care...

@@PHL82I was in a relationship and lost someone I really loved over my paranoia.
These women are brave for sharing their status and educating others.
So he infected her? Or she infected him?
He gave it to her
Does Steph have a channel?
No, she does, just Instagram.
I do now! Woo!
She's 25 yr old .,,,😱.,...is her story even 4real ,because she don't look nowhere near 25yrs old .

I wonder if she passed it on to any partners

Nope have never passed it on to anyone. U=U friend.
Lovely and brave young woman.
Wishing you both continued good health and fulfilled lives.xo
