Meng Lin

Meng Lin, born on May 12, 1962, was diagnosed with HIV in 1995.

In 2005, Meng Lin founded the "ark of love" AIDS information support organization. In 2006, Menglin united with other organizations of people living with HIV in China to establish the "China Alliance of people living with HIV".

Character experience

HIV infection was confirmed in early 1995.

At the beginning of 1996, Meng Lin was hospitalized in You'an Hospital. At that time, there was no drug to treat AIDS, and people were still in extreme ignorance and fear of AIDS. It was Xu Lianzhi who pulled him back from the edge of death step by step. Although the social environment was bad at that time and medical drugs were not available, Xu Lianzhi never stopped helping Meng Lin. Meng Lin is always grateful to this kind doctor. In Meng Lin's opinion, Xu Lianzhi is just like his mother. This is why over the years, Meng Lin has been able to summon up the courage to defeat himself and fight side by side with his companions in the prevention and treatment of AIDS. Seeing the situation of infected people, Meng Lin felt more and more responsibility. As infected people, they must unite to fight against discrimination and fight for the right of drug treatment. In fact, it is the participation of infected people that can effectively prevent and treat AIDS.

In 2004, Meng Lin founded the ark of love forum

The purpose is to encourage the community of infected people to participate in the process of AIDS prevention and control, and use various ways and means to obtain the knowledge and ability of infected people to participate in AIDS prevention and control. Since 2005, Meng Lin and his team have gradually expanded the "ark of love" into a self-help organization to help people living with HIV and AIDS get information and contact each other

.

In 2006, Menglin united with other organizations of people living with HIV in China to establish the "China Alliance of people living with HIV". This is the first national alliance formed by organizations of people living with HIV, including more than 60 organizations of people living with HIV in seven regions. The Secretariat of the alliance provides technical support and seed funds for the members of the alliance, and strengthens the work network construction of the infected organizations.

Character honor

He won the "Bailey Martin" award in 2008

In 2008, he won the special contribution award of the United Nations AIDS program

Treatment experience

In the second half of 1995, Menglin developed various opportunistic infections. There was no hospital reception.

During the Spring Festival of 1996, Meng Lin got in touch with Professor Xu Lianzhi of You'an Hospital, which refused to receive hospitalization treatment at that time.

On March 18, 1996, Meng Lin was admitted to a hut next to the mortuary of You'an Hospital. After I was admitted to the hospital, the hospital refused to provide me with necessary routine tests, such as blood routine, chest X-ray, etc. In this case, Professor Xu, with his rich clinical experience, carried out opportunistic infection and TCM treatment for Menglin. What's more, he gave Meng Lin motherly love and care, so that he got rid of the fear of disease and death, and rebuilt his courage to live.

In the second half of 1996, Meng Lin's health went from bad to worse. At this time, he Dayi's "cocktail" therapy entered clinical practice in the United States. Xu's mother contacted Meng Lin to buy antiviral drugs through various relationships.

The antiviral drug NVP / 3TC / AZT was taken on January 20, 1997, and this formula has been taken until May 2003.

The drug was stopped at the doctor's suggestion in May 2003. Opportunistic infection occurred soon after drug withdrawal. In November 2003, under the guidance of doctors, they began to take: strychnine / wheatz / seretil. In March 2004, due to severe liver damage, the doctor changed the drug to: strychnine / heptin / stavudine. Until August 1, 2004, for unknown reasons, the doctor suggested to stop taking the drug. A week later, the doctor advised Meng Lin to continue taking it. After drug resistance test, monrin has been fully resistant.

On August 13, 2004, after consultation with doctors at home and abroad, kaletra / Viread / Epivir has been taken since.
