[00:00:38]Please keep the comments respectful because HIV is a medical condition and it's no joke. Now, woo child, the internet has been talking all day after Alvo opened up more about his diagnosis.

[00:00:50]Now, according to Elo, he's only been living in Atlanta for 4 years and around 4 years before finding out about his status. Now, he explained that he stayed on top of his health, get tested, and takes his medical diagnosis seriously.

[00:01:05]Now, he even went on to say that he believes he who knows who transmitted the virus to him and social media is definitely reacting. Let's talk.

[00:01:16]>> I came out of the closet, then I went to prison. I went to prison at 19.

[00:01:22]I didn't get out until I was 21 years old. I turned 22 a couple of months later. I never had a gay life. Where I came from, the house in Atlanta, the ABC wasn't a big thing where I was from. I didn't even know I didn't know nothing about that. So, I didn't know that when I came to Atlanta that Atlanta was one of the highest rate with that going on. I didn't know that was going on. I was just regular being myself. Happy to be able to be gay. Happy to be loud and proud. I'm fresh home from prison. I didn't know people out here be, you know, in them situation. I didn't know that. I just came I came out of the closet when I was I'm 25 years old. I only been in Wait, 25. Wait, that's 22 23 24 25. I only been in Atlanta for 4 years. I didn't know that it was like that. I grew up in a small country town.

[00:02:11]I never knew nobody that had that wonder.

[00:02:26]I never knew about a head like that.

[00:02:45]Did you get it in jail? No, I didn't have it. I didn't have it when I was in jail.

[00:02:49]When I first went to prison, I was 19 years old. I didn't have it. In jail, they got to keep on testing you. In jail, when you go to Well, not in jail.

[00:02:58]In jail, you get tested one time unless you have a problem. But when you go to prison, you get tested every time. When I went to prison, I never had nothing. I never had this, never had that. I never had nothing. Even when I came home from prison, when I was going to go get tested, I never had nothing. I didn't have it didn't show up until goddamn I went to jail the most recent time which time that was in um August of last year.

[00:03:25]So it's like when I keep saying I've been I'm like why y'all mean I've been hated? I never had it. I have a I have a my chart. I'm somebody who my chart starts at the age of I mean age of 19.

[00:03:35]My my chart go back to 2019 and my my chart never had that on it until 2025 the end of it. So it's like when these hoes been here talking about me, they be lying. Lying like I'm somebody that go get tested. No vote miracle ranking in Jim Jordan for Georgia Supreme Court endorsed by Planned Parenthood.

[00:04:03]>> Do I know who gave y'all know who gave it to me?

[00:04:06]>> I know exactly who gave it to me. Will >> protect our rights. Vote this Tuesday.

[00:04:10]>> I know who gave it to me.

[00:04:15]I hated that. I hated the person who gave it to me for so long until then I started hating myself.

[00:04:23]But now I don't hate myself no more. Now I'm just like it is what it is.

[00:04:35]But y'all know exactly who gave it to me.

[00:04:40]Now, one thing people are online is saying that Elville is being transparent and actually help raise an awareness because a lot of people are afraid to talk openly about their status. You know, instead of hiding, he's speaking and staying healthy. Get in check and knowing your status, which honestly is important regardless of how people feel about him personally. You know, he explained that, you know, he pays attention to his body and try to stay consistent with doctor visit and treatment. And honestly, this conversation, this reminds people how importantly regularly testing re really is. Now, while some viewers applaud him for being open, others feel like El may only be speaking publicly now because he's heartbroken and looking for attention after everything that's been happening. Now, some comments have even questioned whether his controlling the narrative before more rumors spread.

[00:05:27]However, others push back saying regardless of the timing, speaking openly about his status could help others educate people and people that are scared about their self. And at the end of the day, HIV awareness is bigger than internet drama. And many people believe the conversation like this should focus more on health prevention and support rather than shame.

[00:05:49]>> Alerty meeny.

[00:05:53]Let's look to J.

[00:05:56]G.

[00:06:11]>> The crazy part about it is the person who gave it to me. They know they had it. They just don't take care of theirelves. That's why y'all got to hear what I'm saying. If y'all listen to what I'm saying, y'all catch on. It's people who find out they have it and never follow up with the next appointment and don't go take medication.

[00:06:37]>> Hey Evo, >> what's up boo?

[00:06:40]>> Well, nothing much baby. I just wanted to say I am so proud of you for being as strong as you are and telling your story. And I really hope that while people is down here trying to get in your business and asking you all these questions and bringing up Shamar and all this other that they really listening to what the you saying that it's some snake ass dirty low down nasties out here. And while y'all in here getting his business, y'all need to be careful jumping in and out of these lives, jumping in and out of your cars, in and out of planes, traveling cuz he putting you on the game right now. These can't be trusted. I don't give a if you gay or straight. You have to be careful out here. So, I appreciate you putting your word out and really letting people know it ain't about people. Keep yourselves safe. Like he said, he had a clean history. Drop it on him. You don't go out and look for what he got.

[00:07:26]give that to you. They know they got it.

[00:07:27]So, I hope y'all really listening and you know, keep doing your thing, boo.

[00:07:31]Proud of you.

[00:07:32]>> Thanks. And thank you so much for coming up here and saying that. And the crazy part is y'all, when I went to my last appointment, I said, "Can you tell me who gave this to me? Who gave it to me?"

[00:07:42]You know what this lady told me?

[00:07:44]She said, "I can't tell you who gave it to you.

[00:07:48]I can't I only can tell you how long it takes to show up in your system." So I said, "How long do it take to show up in your system?" She said it takes 90 to or some 90. The earliest it can show up in your system is 90 days. The latest is 6 months or 9 years later. Some people right now have what I got and it's not showing up in their blood and it probably going to show up till the year after that or a year later after that. It's a lot of got it and just thinking that there's a lot of people that got it and don't even know they have it until they show up in your system. This ain't nothing where somebody you get it overnight. this something that's builds in your body and it don't show at first until it pops and then it shows up. So that's why y'all notice that people don't be going to jail cuz you got to you you got to just know who you was sleeping with and then you have make all them people go get tested and then that's how you know. So I could never get here and just say well I know who gave it to me cuz when that lady said it take 90 days to um it take 90 days I mean the earliest 90 days and system your system I already knew when my leg went to inching and scratching and I got a rash and I got cold and I was having heat sweats and this person was having the same thing. I knew right then there it was this but I'm not going to get on here and be like oh yeah cuz like at the end day I didn't know what symptoms was until I went there. When I went to the doctor they told me what the symptoms was. They asked me I have symptoms. I'm like, "What symptoms?"

[00:09:22]They started telling me what the symptoms was and I'm like, "Damn, I was having nice sweats." My legs was in itching. Like, my throat was dry. I kept on thinking it was cuz of my allergies.

[00:09:31]So, it's just like, yeah. So, it's But it's taking you like 90 days to start getting those symptoms. So, somebody could been gave you some You don't even know that you got it. You know, like for instance, the crazy part about it is y'all, before I even went to jail, I went and got tested. It said negative.

[00:09:46]It said I ain't have nothing. So when I went to jail and they tested me, I ain't think nothing of it. And then boom, it finally popped up. So it's like when y'all been here being funny, you being funny about me because it saying negative today. Go get go. That's why when you go to the doctor, they make you get a full panel. That's why when you go get tested, they be like, "Come back and get tested in the next 30 days because it don't show up in your system that fast. You can sleep with somebody who got who got it and contracted that day, but it don't show up in your system until months later.

[00:10:19]Y'all don't understand it. Like, no shade. Like, real deal.

[00:10:25]>> Oh, hey baby. Thanks for telling your story. I really appreciate you for that.

[00:10:31]Um, okay. I didn't know that. So, that's why the doctors say get tested every six months.

[00:10:36]>> Yes. Because you can get tested, it can say negative, but it cannot show up your it don't show up in your system that fast because your blood see what happens is your blood cells be trying to off the bad cells. So when you get that that house I ain't saying you got it but I'm saying when you get that house in Atlanta sale it comes but it don't be strong at first and it get strong is your cells be trying to fight against it until your cells can't fight no more.

[00:10:58]That's why when people get tested, like for instance, you like, "Oh, I feel like I got this." And you gonna get tested for everything and you don't have it.

[00:11:04]They instantly put you on medication.

[00:11:06]Well, they try to put you on prep. You don't get on prep right away because they have to test. They give you prep on your second testing. So, it don't come up the second time, then they start your prep because you can go get tested right now. And I ain't saying you, but you can go get tested and you can add it and it don't show up in your system because at first when it comes, your cells be trying to fight that off until it end up taking over. So it don't show up.

[00:11:30]>> Dang. All right, baby. Love you.

[00:11:34]>> Love you, Mar. But yeah, so and yeah, especially if your immune system is weak, so it don't show up as fast.

[00:11:56]I can't lie. You look complet I got my hair braided up. Y'all saying I look completely different. I am I ain't going to lie. I've been stressed out. I've been stressed.

[00:12:06]I've been stressed, y'all. This was eating me up. This been eating me up. And I only y'all met me. I was a kid. When y'all first ever met me, I was 19 years old. I've been on the internet since I was 19 years old. I'm 25 years old now. So y'all actually watch me grow up. Y'all see me become a grown ass man.

[00:12:26]So it's like y'all be saying I be looking different. Duh. I'm growing up.

[00:12:30]I'm growing up. When y'all met me, I was a kid. I'm grown now. So of course I don't look as young as I used to be.

[00:12:37]I'm growing up. I'm 20. I'm about to be 26 years old in a month and a half.

[00:12:55]When you live that lifestyle, what you expect to happen, God is real, people.

[00:12:58]God is is real. And that's why I know you're going to hell because it don't matter what lifestyle you live. You can be a Christian and the devil can still touch you and your life be over. You can be holy moly believe in Jesus and you can believe in God so much and you can do your God the deities. You can believe in God so much and go try to help somebody else because you feel like that what God told you to do and that person you and then when that happened then somebody say well you knew what you was doing but you can't get on here and say well God God is yes God is real he is that's why he g everybody the free freedom of speech and choice to do whatever they want to do.

[00:13:39]So sit here and be like, "God is real."

[00:13:41]You don't know who. You can't get mad because you can't sit here and tell me that I ain't believe in God just because I'm going through what I'm going through. No, I trusted somebody. I thought somebody cared about me. And this what happens.

[00:14:04]And it's not just in the community.

[00:14:06]Black woman have to leading cases of it.

[00:14:10]Oh, and this is what I going to say.

[00:14:13]Black, y'all understand. Y'all know that I'm going be real with y'all and y'all think I'm lying, bro. If y'all think I'm lying, y'all can really look this up right now. Y'all know that the gay community, the gay, y'all know that they get more tested than heterosexual people. Y'all might think I'm just lying and making up.

[00:14:33]Even Even the clinic I go to said the same thing. Y'all know that homosexual men get tested more than heterosexual people, women and men. Did y'all not know that?

[00:14:50]And then right after gay pe after homosexual people, y'all know that it's um white women.

[00:14:59]The black community get tested the least. The other races, they get in and on health more than the black community.

[00:15:09]Let's start there. So it's like when y'all be trying to make this a gay thing, it's not just a gay thing because no shade, gay people go get tested more than straight people cuz straight people feel like they don't have to get tested cuz they feel like they straight.

[00:15:21]No shade.

[00:15:24]Trusted people.

[00:15:27]I didn't come out the closet till I was 19 years old.
