So you’ve made the decision to get tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). You’ve got your result, but where do you go from here?
A negative HIV test means that no antibodies for HIV were found in your blood. You can be confident with this result if it has been more than six months since you were at risk for transmission. If the time of possible transmission was more recent, you should consider getting retested since your body takes three to six months to form detectable antibodies.
If you’re confident with your negative result and are interested in decreasing your risk of getting HIV in the future, the staff at Campus Health or the peer supporters at SHEC would be happy to discuss your options with you.
But what about the other outcome? A positive HIV test result might come as an enormous shock and can bring about a mixture of strong emotions. The Canadian AIDS Treatment Information Exchange (CATIE) emphasizes to newly diagnosed people that HIV is not a death sentence, even though it may feel like one at first. Having HIV does not mean that you have AIDS, or that you will develop AIDS. Only some people with HIV progress to AIDS, and many live long, healthy lives.
Talking your feelings out with a trusted friend or counselor can really help, especially if you are feeling unable to cope. You will be surprised at how much talking improves your sense of control over the situation.
Keep in mind, though, that it’s up to you who you tell. If you aren’t ready to tell your friends and family, support is available through personal counseling at the Centre for Student Development in MUSC B107. You can also access an anonymous support group in Hamilton via HYPERLINK “http://www.aidsnetwork.ca” www.aidsnetwork.ca.
You must, however, inform current and former sex partners so that they can get tested. If you prefer, you can ask Public Health to notify these people anonymously.
After finding out that you are HIV positive, it is natural to feel terrified that you are going to spread the virus to someone else. HIV cannot be spread through handshaking, hugging, kissing, sneezing or through mosquitoes. In fact, most experts agree that the virus can’t survive outside the body for more than 30 minutes.
The common ways that HIV is spread is through oral/vaginal/anal sex or needle sharing. As a person with HIV, you are entitled to a satisfying sex life just like everyone else, but it is important to inform your future sex partners of their risk and to use a reliable form of protection such as a latex condom or dental dam.
If you use drugs intravenously, make sure you don’t share needles. The Van needle exchange program in Hamilton provides free needles and can be reached at 905-317-9966.
Currently, the treatment for HIV is a combination of antiretroviral drugs which prevent the virus from replicating. Treatment plans are developed by you and your HIV specialist to suit your unique situation.
In order to maintain control over HIV, the viral load must be kept down and the immune system must be kept strong. The viral load can be controlled with medication.
Deciding when to start HIV treatment is a personal choice, but acting early may help prevent permanent immune system damage. Healthy lifestyle choices such as exercise and adhering to a specialized diet can improve the immune system. The key to this diet is eliminating toxins that use up the body’s immune reserves.
Your body doesn’t recognize synthetic substances such as artificial sweetener and hydrogenated fats so it treats them as intruders. When the immune system is already compromised, this can take valuable resources away from fighting germs and infections. Sugary foods, including tropical fruits, can weaken the body’s ability to attack foreign bodies. Drinks that are high in sugar also increase the frequency of yeast infections and UTIs.
Healing occurs when your systems are relaxed, so drinking coffee regularly prevents immune function. Less caffeinated drinks such as green tea are a wiser choice. Cooked vegetables and meat are less taxing on the body than when they are raw because heat kills parasites that an already stressed system may not be able to fight off.
Toxin build-up in the intestines can lead to infections and diarrhea, which is common in people with HIV. Fibrous foods like oats and brown rice cleanse the colon and prevent intestinal infections.
Weight loss is a concern among some individuals with HIV. In an attempt to prevent wasting, some patients begin to eat lots of low-quality food. These habits may put them at risk of developing diabetes or heart problems. Talk to your doctor about other ways of preventing weight loss, such as increasing protein intake. You need to keep your long-term health in mind so that you will not only survive HIV but enjoy better quality of life and avoid other health problems.
The most important things you can do for yourself at this new stage in your life are finding emotional support, eating well and exercising to reduce stress. There is no right way of dealing with this, so just do whatever feels healthy to you and don’t be afraid to seek help if you need it.

THE CURE for HIV/AIDS…….AMBUSH
THE IDEA that AMBUSH cures AIDS
is being proven by the more than 400 individuals who have taken a dose of 60 ml three times daily for 21 days. The result is that AMBUSH ‘KILLS’ the virus by causing the protein envelope to rupture and the viral particles are discarded by the white blood cells. AMBUSH is able to ‘KILL’ the virus that are ‘hiding’ in the lymph system by its ‘natural radioactive’ properties. This process allows the body to ‘return to normal health’ with a corresponding immunity to that or those strains of the virus.
What is AMBUSH ?
AMBUSH is a radioactive isotope of uranium that is found in the ‘palm’ plant of which there are more than 3000 species. When ingested, AMBUSH causes the body temperature in the trunk area to rise to about 102 degrees when the individual is sleeping. The preparation takes four hours per batch, which is then given to the individuals for consumption 60 ml three times daily for 21 days. AMBUSH is a herbal preparation in this form but it contains an active ingredient which is a ‘NEW’ crystalline substance, a drug from the ‘palm plant’ similarly to ASPIRIN originating from the willow tree bark
RESULTS:
After 21 days on AMBUSH, ALL the individuals experienced a decrease in viral load to undetectable, an increase in cd4, increase in RBC, an improvement in general health such as more color to the face, decrease in Buffalo hump, an increase in gluteal muscles, a decrease to having no joint pains whereby individuals can bend to touch their toes, and walk up steps are but a few examples. There is also a dramatic increase in their sexual appetite beginning after the first week of therapy
DISCUSSION:
In any plant concoction such as percolated ‘tea’, there are 30-40,000 compounds, whi ch would take the scientific community twenty years to isolate one particular ingredient if they knew what they were looking for. The LORD GOD has given me seven steps to isolate the active ingredient, which is soft and metallic in nature and has a carbon- uranium-sulfur-(classified)-phentolamine configuration or structure. This is similar to Federick Kekule and the discovery of the benzene ring where he dreamt the structure.
As an antiviral and ‘natural radioactivity’ producing agent, AMBUSH is also effective against leukemia, lupus and HPV. Here I am saying that I have ‘GIVEN’ AMBUSH in the same ’strength’ and dosage to patients with leukemia, lupus and HPV. A 35 year old male with HIV found it difficult to impossible to urinate was put on ‘green tea’ and water while the doctors contemplated prostrate surgery. One of the doctors gave him my number , I sent him a supply of AMBUSH an d he has not been given any more ARV’s, since taking AMBUSH 18 months ago, is in ‘good’ health and has expressed a willingness to be examined by HIV investigators like many others who have taken AMBUSH.
I have sent this ‘IDEA’ to most HIV research agencies, scientist of the field, universities, hospitals, clinics, politicians and news agencies to which it is REJECTED because the name of THE LORD GOD is mentioned. He has steered me scientifically through the processes such as which plant and how to produce the active ingredient. What are the odds of a Florida Pharmacist picking a plant would contain the CURE for HIV/AIDS ?
I have never charged any of the people for their supply of AMBUSH but a life saving has been spent on the project with NO renumeration from any sources because AMBUSH falls outside the walls of modern medicine and research.
PROPOSAL:
My proposal is that I PROVE that AMBUSH CURES HIV/AIDS by giving it to a number of END-STAGE or DRUG-RESISTANT people and the scientific community watches their recovery. This proposal addresses the problem in that I have already outlaid the results to be obtained.
This IDEA is unconventional in that the scientific community has rejected AMBUSH because I say it is GOD given. Secondly if I wrote it according to certain standards, then it might be peer reviewed. However, THE LORD GOD has also shown me that there are five enzyme systems associated with the virus, reverse transcriptase, protease, fusion and two more of which causes the virus to be AIRBOURNE. This means that without DIVINE intervention mankind and ALL warm- blooded mammals will be extinct in a number of years.
The PROOF of what I am saying is found in scientific papers wherein it is found that when the protease cuts the viral strands, it cuts it at DIFFERENT lengths EVERY time, to which it should always be a valine at the end but is a different amino acid every time. This is why it is IMPOSSIBLE to produce a VACCINE.
Since this is NOT a hypothesis but there are about 400 individuals who have taken AMBUSH, here lies a vast area in which to check, recheck and confirm that AMBUSH CURES AIDS. Let it be mentioned that during the HIV reproductive cycle, reverse transcriptase converts viral RNA into DNA compatible to human genetic materials. Thus the human DNA has been ‘hijacked’ and since each person has a DIFFERENT DNA, then the new viral copy is unique to that person which shows that each individual has a DIFFERENT STRAIN of the virus. Consider two HIV positive people swapping viral strains and increasing its complexity with multiple partners.
It can also be proposed that they be revisited as proof that the strain or strains that they had were ‘killed’ at the time of taking AMBUSH considering that a person can catch as many different strains as there are people who are infected by HIV.
I am also willing to work with the scientific community in identifying those individuals who took AMBUSH and wish to be identified with this process notwithstanding that some are stigmatized while others are jubilant,
Once AMBUSH is verified as being able to accomplish that which is aforementioned then the next stage might be the natural and artificial synthesis of the substance.
Finally, if this is accepted or not, believed or not, THE LORD GOD always wins and this is the heavenly truth to which AMBUSH was divinely given to mankind for the CURE of HIV/AIDS and it will be here forever. Apostle Shada Mishe.

i wonder when are we going to have the cure for HIV/AIDS ? we are living on an age with very high technology but still we have not found a cure for this disease.
