This video will show you everything you need to know about taking a home HIV test. I'm undetectable now, watch to see if it turns out positive or not. It tests for the HIV antibody, not the virus itself, so it should show a positive since I am HIV positive.

Click on the link to watch My HIV/AIDS Story for more information about how I contracted HIV and eventually ended up with AIDS. I put this out on August 13, 2016 and it literally changed my life. • MY HIV/AIDS STORY
Remember to Test!
This is perhaps one of the most positive blogs that I have ever seen. I am really glad that I found your channel. This DOES make a difference in the lives of people. This is so brave and such an assertive way of dealing with life with HIV. I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and thank you for being such a great influence and wealth of knowledge. Be well.
Thank you so very much, I really truly appreciate your post. Means a lot. It really does. :)
nononsenselogic are you sick aswell with HIV ? if so it so sad I really feel sorry for you people and hope I never cross paths with that vile thing , anyway happy New Year
I do not have HIV. The information that Jennifer is providing is invaluable. I am old enough where I remember when HIV was a death sentence. My son is gay. He does not have HIV. However, there are risk factors that he has. I have learned so much through his life. HIV really is a human disease. It is not the "gay plague" or anything like that. Frankly, I admire her strength. I do not know if I could handle HIV with the strength that she has. Just good to see a positive channel with a lot of the negative nonsense that you may read on the internet. Best of health and success to you Ben and once again to you too Jennifer. Be well.
Jennifer Vaughan I’m depressed now
Facts
I just want to say thank you. You are the reason I went to get tested. I was terrified after having unprotected sex. We weren't tested together. I just trusted what he said about being tested every 6 months. I took the test and I'm negative. I feel very lucky because it could have been different. Anyone can get this. Don't fool yourselves and judge other people. You are at risk no matter what color you are, if you're married, in a relationship etc, etc, etc. Use condoms and get tested with a new partner before having sex. I will still use condoms from now on even if we test negative. I will have a tough time not using them if I remarry.
Can't hear enough about people testing, so glad I encouraged you! Very glad to hear you are negative. XO
Veronique beyond blessed!
Condoms is safe and protect h.i.v?
You tested with OraQuick?
Veronique wait what if you want children ??? You can’t use a condom
I love how you normalise the virus
No... humanize it!
why in the world would people hit dislike on this video??? i dont get it.. your educating people that would be so scared to go to a doctor because of shame or guilt etc... your making it easier and making more friendly and acceptable to embrace what one has and be stronger and confident about owning it
The old saying has been updated: People fear, hate, and/or troll, what they don't understand...
Because some people are idiots.
I doubt there is even one video where there is only likes. I've wondered about some videos having dislikes. I thought, 'why a dislike, what kind of people are you?'.
They dislike because many are sad and depressed assholes
You're so brave and beautiful. I admire your strength .
You are amazing. I have been a medic 30 years. I wish more people were so smart and forward thinking as you!
dont stress yourself.... HIV today is not a death sentence...its just an inconvience. be strong and you will be fine.
HIV comes from llegal relationship .transportation blood and drugs
You're right. HIV isn't a death sentence, never was. AIDS is though. I would tell you to ask my best friend and his wife but they are now deceased from complications of AIDS to 10 years apart almost to the day. I think it's reckless to say it's just an inconvenience. Like it's rush hour traffic or something. People should protect themselves to avoid the "inconvenience."
really? other nasty diseases you can get from fornication is Hepa B, aside from STD and HIV - condom is not 100% protection against these viruses
sorry to destroy your illusion but if you forget your medicine 1 day it could be get immune against the medicine you must take it all your live the drugs to not infect other people..
U right but the fact is that it will kill you! no matter what.
Good upbeat attitude, a lot of bravery to do this online.
Thank you! This was the best thing to watch as those 20 minutes went by
The rule of thumb in relationships, don’t trust your partner!! Get both tested first before doing anything which you may regret for rest of your life !
You’re a strong and inspirational woman. I’m not infected but I still find myself inspired watching your videos.
I wanna cry so bad because you are very brave to expose this information. Thank you so much Jennifer. I am highly proud of how strong you are. Beautiful person you are in and out. God bless you!!!
There’s a natural scaremongering when it comes to HIV/AIDS. I really can’t imagine what you’ve been through and finding out your diagnosis but it’s great to see you’re leading a normal life. I’m not going to lie AIDs has always scared me senseless and that’s due to the ‘old’ aids, without medication and certain death. I would still irrationally be scared to have contact with someone with hiv/aids but your videos are educating me and giving me confidence that with or without hiv/aids you can still be ‘normal’ :)
Thank you for making these videos. I admire your positive attitude about living with this virus. I’m trying to educate myself more on this subject by watching different HIV videos. I have a 16 years old daughter and want to provide her with as much information as possible to protect herself. My husband and I are both negative for this virus, but I understand it’s still important to know the risk. You’re a wonderful person. Stay blessed. 😇
I ABSOLUTELY love you! You are so positive and just seem so down to earth. I'm new to your channel 🙋🏽♀️. Just been binge watching your videos
U still manage to wear a beautiful smile n ur beautiful face. N I'm happy ur well n doing well.. best wishes to u and your family + friends for the new year.
I went to a Freddie for a day event in Austin, TX last weekend and it was to benefit the Austin AIDS foundation and they offer free HIV testing, which is great. Everyone should be tested, even if you know there is no way you could possibly be positive., especially if your in a new relationship. This is the only way we can stop this horrific disease. Education, vlogs like your,s, and continued research. Girl, you’re fabulous, love you! Thank you for all you do!
This channel is very informative and I applaud you for your openness and bravery. I am not hiv positive but I am here to learn and get rid of all the ignorance I once held about the virus. Thanks for sharing, merry Christmas 🎁
Im a medicine school student from an another country.even my english is not enough ,I want to say you" thank you", when i see your videos im proud of you because, you teaching people how they can make that test but first you showing them its(HIV) not something that people should scare... im proud of your reactions because, people dont know what is HIV so they just scaring more.. thank you for share that and teach to people :)
You have a very comforting spirit. You never know how challenging things can have a silver lining and in turn help others.. in my opinion we are spirits first, living this human experience.. whether it’s HIV or anything else, we ALL have difficulties and mental anguish of some sort. It’s the kindness, love and compassion that helps each other get through this thing we call life! Thank you for telling your story and comforting others, including me.
i love you so much, i admire your courage, some people get this very same disease and promptly terminate their lives and then theres u, living above it, wow, its amazing what a positive attitude can do
I'm just glad to see that you are no longer in pain. It's great that you shared your story. You are extremely courageous to put this out to the world.
Hi Jennifer, I'm writing to simply say I'm a fan of yours. You have a very bright and positive outlook and I have found your videos very helpful. Thank you for posting.
Thanks Thomas. You can also follow me on Instragram (Vongirl24), I post about my daily life all day. :)
Thank you for sharing, Jennifer. You're so strong and I really admire you.
Joanna Dyndor I they are all very strong as I don't think I could cope and would kill my self any I know my many strengths as I am dealing with deep vein thrombosis had it twice so far still alive but the drugs I have to live on and take Evey day for rest of my life is no joke kn my mental health and the pain I suffer is every day some times I wish I was dead than to deal so far I have been sick 3 years so I understand the stress of and being sick

Jennifer Vaughan you have aids am so sorry.
Jennifer Vaughan when how do u know if it's positive
How many times did you do the test and how many times your question was right?
Thanks for this video I was so scared to take this test after living a wild life I almost passed out waiting for those 20 min but it came up negative
@@alexparker8299 you may lead this life because if we get hiv negative you may lead this life i know about hiv i studied about it no vaccine only tablets to be alive for 2or3 years
You’re helping so many people and I just want to say thank you so much. Something you said in this video put me at ease. When you said ‘the antibodies should still be detectable even though i’m undetectable’. I had a ‘reactive’ rapid test result but started taking pep within the interim period of getting my results back. I had secondary tests done and I came back negative. However my concern was that the pep made me undetectable to the test and thats why I tested negative. So you saying that if I was reactive on the antibody test initially I should still be reactive even now. I will find out me results on either the 14th or 15th but I just want to thank you for what you’re doing ❤️
Wow, what a story. Jen you are superwoman, keep fighting. Nice job on the video, the way the pictures say it all. It was nice to see you smiling again at the end. Nice touch....
You made my day. Your approach to life can change the thoughts of people around the world towards their problems.
I got tested today and I can tell you, this is SO stressful. I totally understand why would you feel anxious even though you know the results.
You're the best! Love beats AIDS! Fear makes it worse.
+Matt Williams I ❤ this!
Matt Williams tapac
Love is aids, and she's full of love. To the brim.
She is so positive
You are so strong Jennifer and I want to say thank you for sharing your story.
God bless you for your courage and strength . Your attitude an willingness to reach out to help others . Is amazing.
You are an angel ! Jen keep up the good work , you have help me thru out my anxiety , your work touches many life’s in a good way ❤️
You're so lucky, to be positive now as opposed to the early days, even the 90s. I'm really happy for you. People do need to know that every strain of the virus is different and there are ppl who are not so lucky. Specific strains mutated and we are always doing reserch and hope to soon have a vaccine. But just bc she's healthy, she's contracted a strain that we've been successfully treating with hopes of eradicating. Some of the strains are aggressive and strong, viruses are much more aggressive are still taking lives
I was secretly hoping that it would say negative 😞
Same
I don't see the positive line
Thank you for sharing this private story. Growing up in the seventies and eighties getting HIV was a death sentence, we all talked about it and heard scary stuff about HIV. Now people are living with AIDS. I wish you the most out of life. ❤️❤️
Great video and I am so thankful you chose to share your story.🤗💗
I was checking some videos on TH-cam and I just saw your story and believe me you really inspired me and I joined your TH-cam channel as well. You are really an inspiration for others. GOD bless you
I had anxiety for you and I knew the outcome
I was extremely nervous about being HIV positive, no inpeticular reason, I just have bad anxiety. Anyway I came back negative. I watched a bunch of you're videos prior to taking the test, you're very informative and easing. Thank you for sharing you're life with us! Made me feel like there was hope, even if I was positive. Again, thanks!
What's real sad is that your a better mother than my mom has ever been you got the POSITIVE ATTITUDE we all can embrace Thank You sweetiE 🙌 ...I wish you well in this life.
I don't know.. but I seriously think u r very very brave..!! the statement "It's not the end of the world" is really .. OMG stay blessed
Hi Ms. Jennifer you are so brave and positive I’m following your blogs. I salute you. Continue inspiring people and giving courage. God bless you.
Ever since I saw your video the other day you have weighed heavily on my heart I cannot imagine how you felt when they told you that you had hiv
Thanks for this video. I came across it whilst looking for HIV self test. I bought one involving blood. I agree, I wasn't waiting on the couch camly. It came negative eventually and I was stressing all day just knowing the test would be delivered in the post.
Thanks for your inspiring videos. From a "negative" experience you sound so "positive". Thank you.
Here I am watching this nervous right along with you. That's crazy. You are a brave brave woman. I'm tearing up at the positive result as if it was mine. i'm HIV-negative but still I was emotional right along with you.
I am 26 years old..
And lots of blessing to you friend
God bless you. You're a beautiful human, inside and out.
Hugs&kisses I don't know you but I care about your life.
Thank you! xo
soon we will watch ur video when u will show us ur report of zero virus. i hope so
Drugs are coming online (I do believe) that will eradicate the virus.
Poe Lemic don't give out false hope as I'm sure if all of it was true the whole world would have heard about it on the news on the Internet in the newspapers what's wrong with you people are you having a laugh behind your keyboard it's not funny you know I'm sure you would not like to be sick
Yep. She now has a video saying she undetectable. I'm happy for her.
@@rustybennineoneonemajesty um I did hear it on the news a few days ago they found a cure but won't be available a little while longer because they are still testing it but will be out really soon.. I get tested frequently about ever 6 months recently I tested for every single std /herps/hiv .I rather know than to not know. negative everything it feels good know you are clean then walking around with Anxiety😰
They’re still making a cute
All that and you still manage to smile.You really motivate me with your videos.God bless you
you're such a sweet, genuine person. despite the topic of the video, you are very calming.
I left my husband of twenty two years after I found emails that he had slept with hundreds of men off of Craigslist. I get tested monthly and it's been three years. This is my biggest fear and I have spent the last few hours watching your videos. For the first time ever, I feel relief. Kind of like if it did happen, it wouldn't be the end of the world. I have luckily came up negative for HIV Everytime thus far. I'm still angry at him. He had unprotected sex with me and these men while I was pregnant with our five children. And I had them tested too due to fear of exposure when kissing boo-boos. Thank you so much for this. I do have a question though? How did you feel towards your ex for giving you this and not telling you? Did you contact the clinic that didn't notify you and ask them why?
Wow
Damn ! Cheaters should all die.
Wow
I also tested negative too after being in a relationship with positive partner for 5 years without protection but we didn't know our status then. I couldn't leave him as I think he need my support.... We using protection since those results
Brandon De Just because you have unprotected sex with a positive person doesn’t mean you’re going to catch HIV.
You are strong for sharing your story. I really hope all works out well with you going from here.
I am so happy that you are feeling so good with the medication and impressed by the way that you take I live alone and though i do not take any risk since l live like a nun, i take the test at least once a year as a routine check up since i must be tested every six months for something else i have (hypothyroidism) and i am so glad i was fortunate to not get it. I will ensure that this remains that way. That said i can only congratulate you on you cheerful attitude about the whole thing. Your childen (by the way; your little boy is so cute) must be very proud of you.
You are so inspirational I was just tested last week and got my results today me being a former iv drug user and on top of that always being safe with the girls I went with who were also usually drug users I definitely put myself at risk the test was non reactivate negative but I was driving myself crazy googling all these symptoms I was having dreams about it on a frequent basis well anyway if your worried get tested because as you can see from her it is not a death sentence take care everyone be safe and Jennifer you are amazing
You are an amazingly brave women, thank you for sharing your stories.
God bless you sister don't worry God will heal you if you believe in him!
thanks for this upload,for you to be positive that line should of been alot stronger
I always get tested every time I go to the clinic. I been getting tested for hiv with that test where you swab your gums every year and it always came out negative. Took it again this year and its negative. I always got worried for some reason. So if I always got tested for hiv with that swab test and it always comes out negative means I shouldn't worry right. That's the test they always provide at the clinic when I get tested for hiv.its required every time I go for a yearly checkup. They even give me a card with the results and its always circled negative. You have my respect Jennifer, you are beautiful and so brave and glad you are still enjoying your life being happy :)
love your channel. keep up the positivity.
You are very brave, My God Bless you and give you strength always. You look amazing
I'm very sorry to hear what u have. May God be with u Always! God Bless!
Happy to see this video!!!! You look so beautiful as usual. You are really strong and positive. Love you and your video :)
Aw, pretty Jessie! Thank you love! xo
I'm HIV neg I've been tested at the doctors but I think I'd be too scared to do it at home test especially when I don't know my results but I tested negative I lived in the wild crazy life past tense I know the people that actually get infected and they didn't have a wildlife they didn't do anything out of the norm but anyway stay strong keep the videos coming you are truly a beautiful woman on the inside as well as out
Thank you so much for doing your videos. I think you're very brave.
You're a hero. God bless you.
Be Strong Jennifer. May God Bless You.
Thank You for humanizing this virus and show the world that the virus is not an automatic death sentence. My father died of AIDS 20 years ago and I often wonder if him and us accepting his "fate" helped hasten his death.
This test kit should be available locally(Kenya) but i can't seem to find it anywhere. So i ordered one from the U.S(Amazon) and it has just arrived. I'm a nervous wreck. I've been engaging in unprotected sex with a colleague for a while now(almost one year). I don't have any symptoms you described in your HIV story. Well I've had some of those symptoms before(e.g sore throat which often leads to a cold) which makes me a bit nervous(don't whether it was just a cold). I've never been this afraid. I want to be more responsible going forward so that's why i want to take the test. Pray for me or wish me well. Great content by the way and keep up the good work.
You are such a happy person with everything going on in your life. Though my brother was depressed at first when he got his diagnosis after a while he was so happy and lived a wonderful 6 years till he passed. God bless you
Did he die of AIDS? Or different thing all together?
I respect your courage and honesty
You're a brave strong woman. God bless you 💜
I take my hat off to you..for going through your symptoms on H.I.V and A.I.D.S..and may I say your very pretty woman too very surprised that your hiv!!as I said give you full 100% respect keep fighting one day they will find a cure
You're a great person ..may God be with you ❤ 🙌
Thanks for the heads up . Your looking good girl stay cool.
I didn't know this existed, and I'm grateful for you doing this. I am certain I'm not pos but I think I'm going to keep a few of these on hand..
Local CVS had this exact test. I took a Xanax and drove 15 min. to CVS 44.00 yes .manager who checked me out looked a little crazy but so what. Next I got in my truck and followed the instructions while in the parking lot. Even with meds I still was nervous as heck. I covered the tube with the little square of paper. 20 min later looked at it and it came back negative. The only drawback is you have a 3 month waiting period after exposure. God bless you for having the courage to do this informational video. Sooner or later something is gonna get us health wise. Were all in the same boat.
I love your videos. Although I don't have HIV. I have had family members and friends who died back in the 90s because of AIDS and anything I can do to help educate myself and be of support to my living friends who have HIV is what I hope to do for them.
Thanks for sharing... Kudos.. may all ur wishes come true😊👍💐💐
Thank you for sharing that was really Brave of you thank you for educating us but it does look really faint look like it has one line I was thinking the same thing what if she negative but I still don't see the other line but thank you so much for sharing and I wish you a beautiful holiday from my family to yours
Ur such a beautiful soul I’m so sorry this happened to you but thanks for being so positive
You are such a inspiration x
I have been following you and your pretty amazing thanks so much for sharing your story ..
Nice that you showed us this, because I've never seen anyone take a test like this live. It helps us understand how to check if we have HIV too or, if someone we know is sick a lot for no reason, then we can tell them to check for HIV.
Also, I have a friend who is gay and is always getting sick; also, he keeps always complaining about his bottom hurting. So, I should suggest to him to take the test. I think it would be a good idea if Manuel sees if he's positive.
Thank you so much for sharing. This is an amazing video
Hello! My very first time here, another Channel Creator mentioned you, in a (CW house 4 sale). So, I came over to meet you. During my active-duty-military career, we began Mandatory testing, gee, back in 1984 or 1986? And then every year. The Navy guys would get STD, from those ports, and female company etc...Thank you for the PSA. People need to know the status they hold. Be brave. GET TESTED
I saw Schmeeda and knew. TCL. Love him. Yes. Test!
@@Pozleigh I was fearful my first HIV, test. I was active duty Navy, and had relations with a few great Navy guys. And I was scared, because I know the Sailors get off the ship at the different Countries etc.....my quantity of men was low, however, I suspect two of my men had "gotten around", and back then, AIDS was this scary monster.
Thank you so much god bless dowggg you really helped me out! my ex just recently died from aids and I had got myself tested and I came back negative! I was scared and didn’t know how to take the test but you helped me! Thank you 🙏
U are such lovely person strong in ur situation I love you,....
U r very brave to show every one
What a lovely lady
Much love to you
im happy for you lady ,God bless you
Loving this vlog!
Why thank you! :-)
Sigur Ros. "Glosoli" i know these videos have to be tough to do. Of your music emotional like am. I strongly know this will bring a whole new level of peace to you. I love you.
I happened to run across your TH-cam video. Im Hiv negative and grateful but you strength is amazing!!!! I just wanted to reach out and say You are one of the strongest women I've known in my life and I've never met you😌😌😌. May God continue to be the force in your life. Glod bless you and your family
thank you for all your support God bless you
Don't stress yourself sweetheart, you got a normal life, like everybody else, just take care of you self, keep take your medicine, keep the positive actitud you have, tomorrow is another beautiful day like you are, God bless you so much Angel😍😗❤🙏👈☝️
Thank you for your video. Yes. Dutch, or old style chilvery its worth the cost. Lets start a movement. #IamJenniferVaughan..Make it happen jennifer. I believe in what your doing and I thank God for you. I just got a test sent to me and it has been getting long over due for check ups. Raise awareness. Condemns or not. Planned parenthood, where are you. Thank you again. Ill be praying, raise the awareness.
When I have taken the oral test at the county health unit (because it's free) in the past it always made me nervous because of the medical setting, their intrusive questions, and sitting there for 20min waiting. But when I took this same test at home by myself I just set my timer and go do house chores and I'm fine. Oddly watching this made me anxious because you were constantly obsessing over it and waving it around like a crazy person lol. I'm glad that you did this though and advocate testing, so many ppl probably just don't know and don't think about it. In the gay community the message for regular testing is a constant, and we all know someone with hiv, so we have no excuses.
Thank you for this Dayton, good info! :-)
You said you have a boyfriend and of course neither one of you knew you had HIV, has he been check for the virus? You are one brave person to make a video on having HIV, because people think they can get it from you by just being in the same room and don't want to hang with you or people that have the virus. Thank you for sharing!!
Of course, yes he tested the very next day. He was negative. I've talked about that a lot in my videos with women rarely if ever transmitting. He'd been exposed to me for an entire year and he was HIV negative. I've seen the same scenario play out for hundreds of other HIV+ women. HIV can't penetrate skin. There has to be an open mucous membrane.
