The Not SO Talented Delfin 'DJ' Justiniano Ocampo Montano II: Still Resting and Feeling Good

Results

Dear Readers,

A big part of having HIV is the many tests and numbers that come along with the condition. Not being afraid/intimidated by them is the best advice I can give.
Make your HIV blood count numbers your friends. Trust me, you have no choice at days end. Embrace the numbers. They are there to help you, not hinder you.

At first it seems daunting to hear about Lymphocyte Markers, your CD4's and CD8's and the most important, your complete blood count and your personal HIV viral load.
Once you get your head around the numbers, the HIV journey becomes much easier.
My most recent test results are very comforting considering I've had HIV for eight years already.
Wow, it seems like yesterday I was told.
I feel so great about my HIV.
It's under control and I have time to help others.
What more could a man want?

My CD4's are 411 which is fantastic news. The higher the better when it comes to your CD4's.
My viral load is 18,409 which is also great news.

They don't even look at you until they reach 100,000 readers.
So for the moment I'll stay off the AVR drugs because my liver and kidneys are getting such a great break. If my viral load increases and reaches 100,000, then I'll start my drugs again. Or unless my doctor recommends it. I ALWAYS listen to my doctor.
I have to protect my organs which is another reason I stopped my drugs last year. I'm only 38 and I need them in good shape.
They needed a break from the pills.
I needed a break from the pills.
Indulgent , yes.

My HIV was undetectable for three years because I was on ARV drugs for four years. A handful of pills twice a day.
You NEVER forget you have HIV when you have to take so many pills every bloody day.
Use a condom and you will not have to do this peeps.
It's worth the time and small amount of effort. Trust me.

I stopped last year for a few personal reasons. And as a result of that decision, my HIV is now detectable again. I don't regret the pill holiday but I'm determined now to become undetectable again. I'm eating healthier and really trying to focus on my inner spirit. Yoga.

So when you get tested for HIV, expect these numbers. Every single person in the world who has HIV has these numbers to deal with.
So deal and be happy.
HAPPY.

HIV AIDS a to z

HIV

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. This is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV is different from most other viruses because it attacks the immune system. The immune system gives our bodies the ability to fight infections. HIV finds and destroys a type of white blood cell (T cells or CD4 cells) that the immune system must have to fight disease.

For more information view our questions and answers on HIV science.

AIDS

Origin of HIV

Scientists identified a type of chimpanzee in West Africa as the source of HIV infection in humans. The virus most likely jumped to humans when humans hunted these chimpanzees for meat and came into contact with their infected blood. Over several years, the virus slowly spread across Africa and later into other parts of the world.

Brief History of HIV in the United States

HIV was first identified in the United States in 1981 after a number of gay men started getting sick with a rare type of cancer. It took several years for scientists to develop a test for the virus, to understand how HIV was transmitted between humans, and to determine what people could do to protect themselves.

In 2008, CDC adjusted its estimate of new HIV infections because of new technology developed by the agency. Before this time, CDC estimated there were roughly 40,000 new HIV infections each year in the United States. New results shows there were dramatic declines in the number of new HIV infections from a peak of about 130,000 in the mid 1980s to a low of roughly 50,000 in the early 1990s. Results also shows that new infections increased in the late 1990s, followed by a leveling off since 2000 at about 55,000 per year. In 2006, an estimated 56,300 individuals were infected with HIV.

AIDS cases began to fall dramatically in 1996, when new drugs became available. Today, more people than ever before are living with HIV/AIDS. CDC estimates that about 1 million people in the United States are living with HIV or AIDS. About one quarter of these people do not know that they are infected: not knowing puts them and others at risk.

How HIV Is and Is Not Transmitted

HIV is a fragile virus. It cannot live for very long outside the body. As a result, the virus is not transmitted through day-to-day activities such as shaking hands, hugging, or a casual kiss. You cannot become infected from a toilet seat, drinking fountain, doorknob, dishes, drinking glasses, food, or pets. You also cannot get HIV from mosquitoes.

HIV is primarily found in the blood, semen, or vaginal fluid of an infected person. HIV is transmitted in 3 main ways:

Having sex (anal, vaginal, or oral) with someone infected with HIV
Sharing needles and syringes with someone infected with HIV
Being exposed (fetus or infant) to HIV before or during birth or through breast feeding

HIV also can be transmitted through blood infected with HIV. However, since 1985, all donated blood in the United States has been tested for HIV. Therefore, the risk for HIV infection through the transfusion of blood or blood products is extremely low. The U.S. blood supply is considered among the safest in the world.

Risk Factors for HIV Transmission

You may be at increased risk for infection if you have

injected drugs or steroids, during which equipment (such as needles, syringes, cotton, water) and blood were shared with others
had unprotected vaginal, anal, or oral sex (that is, sex without using condoms) with men who have sex with men, multiple partners, or anonymous partners
exchanged sex for drugs or money
been given a diagnosis of, or been treated for, hepatitis, tuberculosis (TB), or a sexually transmitted disease (STD) such as syphilis
received a blood transfusion or clotting factor during 1978–1985
had unprotected sex with someone who has any of the risk factors listed above

Preventing Transmission

Your risk of getting HIV or passing it to someone else depends on several things. Do you know what they are? You might want to talk to someone who knows about HIV. You can also do the following:

Abstain from sex (do not have oral, anal, or vaginal sex) until you are in a relationship with only one person, are having sex with only each other, and each of you knows the other’s HIV status.
- If both you and your partner have HIV, use condoms to prevent other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and possible infection with a different strain of HIV.
- If only one of you has HIV, use a latex condom and lubricant every time you have sex.
If you have, or plan to have, more than one sex partner, consider the following:
- Get tested for HIV
  - If you are a man who has had sex with other men, get tested at least once a year.
  - If you are a woman who is planning to get pregnant or who is pregnant, get tested as soon as possible, before you have your baby.
- Talk about HIV and other STDs with each partner before you have sex.
- Learn as much as you can about each partner’s past behavior (sex and drug use), and consider the risks to your health before you have sex.
- Ask your partners if they have recently been tested for HIV; encourage those who have not been tested to do so.
- Use a latex condom and lubricant every time you have sex.
- If you think you may have been exposed to another STD such as gonorrhea, syphilis, or Chlamydia trachomatis infection, get treatment. These diseases can increase your risk of getting HIV.
- Get vaccinated against hepatitis B virus.
Even if you think you have low risk for HIV infection, get tested whenever you have a regular medical check-up.
Do not inject illicit drugs (drugs not prescribed by your doctor). You can get HIV through needles, syringes, and other works if they are contaminated with the blood of someone who has HIV. Drugs also cloud your mind, which may result in riskier sex.
If you do inject drugs, do the following:
- Use only clean needles, syringes, and other works.
- Never share needles, syringes, or other works.
- Be careful not to expose yourself to another person's blood.
- Get tested for HIV test at least once a year.
- Consider getting counseling and treatment for your drug use.
- Get vaccinated against hepatitis A and B viruses.
Do not have sex when you are taking drugs or drinking alcohol because being high can make you more likely to take risks.

To protect yourself, remember these ABCs:

A=Abstinence

B=Be Faithful

C=Condoms

Symptoms of HIV Infection

The only way to know whether you are infected is to be tested for HIV. You cannot rely on symptoms alone because many people who are infected with HIV do not have symptoms for many years. Someone can look and feel healthy but can still be infected. In fact, one quarter of the HIV-infected persons in the United States do not know that they are infected.

HIV Testing

Once HIV enters the body, the body starts to produce antibodies—substances the immune system creates after infection. Most HIV tests look for these antibodies rather than the virus itself. There are many different kinds of HIV tests, including rapid tests and home test kits. All HIV tests approved by the US government are very good at finding HIV.

Finding a Testing Site

Many places offer HIV testing: health departments, doctors' offices, hospitals, and sites specifically set up to provide HIV testing.

You can locate a testing site by visiting the CDC HIV testing database or by calling CDC-INFO (formerly the CDC National AIDS Hotline) at 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636) 24 Hours/Day. You do not have to give any personal information about yourself to use these services to find a testing site.

In my GREAT doctor's office waiting...

Dear Readers,

Due to some unforeseen health 'issues', I need a rest from blogging.
In the meantime, a friend will monitor the comments.
I'm not sure for how long, but my health always comes first and it is always my #1 priority.
These 'setbacks' are only temporary but nonetheless, they need my full attention which means a temporary move away from my computer.
I am no good to anyone if I am not strong and fit.
Mentally and physically.
Thank you my dear Council of Eight.
Thank you Papa.

From Victorina Blog.

By Brian Gorrell ...There are few things I truly regret doing in my life. The one thing I regret the most is getting involved with my ex boyfriend DJ Montano, a man who I never really knew as it turned out. The other big regret is having unsafe sex which led to my HIV diagnosis, which of course created it's own set of issues to deal with. I deal with them as best as I can. We all know money helps, and trust me, you only find this out when you have no one to rely on.

Look, I REALLY thought Delfin would pay me back.

I wrote about this before; I truly mean it when I say that having HIV is much easier for me to deal with than losing my money to my ex boyfriend, a man I truly loved. My life savings represented my future, my security and my well-being. Without my money, I've had to seek help from the government due to my many health problems, my newly acquired chronic diabetes being only one of them. I had a blood transfusion yesterday and fell into a 'coma shock' for almost five minutes due to my anxiety medication and an allergic reaction to the blood. I had to be revived with adrenaline.

So you see, I have so many things to deal with which makes it difficult for me to get a job, so I'm on a paltry disability pension, which is humiliating for me actually. When one is in love and swept away in such an exotic fashion, it's easy to lose control of your rationality, especially if you are desperate for love as I was back then. And we all know I did lose my ability to see clearly through the thick haze of lies and manipulation. BUT that is NO reason for me to sit back and let DJ get away with stealing my money AND the contents of my hotel safe. That was, well, shocking really.

Am I tired of this?

Am I tired of death threats?

Am I tired of the abuse?

The hatred?

Yes, I am.For the first time in my life I contemplated suicide five weeks ago before my doctors intervened and placed me on medication. I just want you to know I am doing much better as a result and the thoughts of suicide are gone. But I was scared to death last month when I developed another tumor on my back, which had since been removed. It's the fifth such tumor I've had this past year. DJ has none of these worries. But I do and I need that money back.You ask yourself, how much can one man take before jumping off the edge?I'm exhausted.Just simply exhausted.Please help me.DJ, please end this for me.You give me back my Western Union and my bank deposits, and I will close the blog.

Please DJ, let this end for me.

By Trixie Angeles ...DJ, read my lips: You. Are. Goin'. Down. Down to face the consequences of your actions. Down to where the other crooks live. Down to where dear momma can't pull her little strings for you. Down where you will have time to contemplate the consequences of your actions. If the long arm of the law doesn't get you this year, it will the next. Or the next. We're patient, DJ. But we don't forget. Come clean before the warrant comes out.

By Andro Ramirez ...Delfin Justiniano Montano III... Who is he really? A crook? A user? A usurper? The greatest cheat of them all?

It's a pity actually, and a shame. Pitiful that he useswhatever education he has to scam people, even close associates, just to maintain a shallow fantasylifestyle. Shameful, because even family members tolerate the misdeeds. Leading to the extent of a mother threatening people with lawsuits and even using God to feign innocence at the same time. I may not be all that religious anymore but I shudder at that blasphemous statementand wooden TV performance. It only shows the fruit does not fall far from the tree. DJ Montano's just desserts are coming. My words were proven true when I gave the same statement about Christy Fermin, and she fell.... hard. So will Montano. Brian and the other victims may never get their money back, but what is money when you have no peace of mind. In this digital age, there is no place too remote for Montano to hide in, now that all eyes are looking for him. Not that he would enjoy living in a totally isolated area without the amenities he is used to or flaunt he is a Montano (if that still means anything positive). DJ Montano enjoyed living a life of a prince, when all along he is nothing but a knave in fine robes. Now he hides, hoping one day, we will all forget. To borrow an old saying: For evil to succeed, good men need only do nothing.
I say: Never Again. Off with his head! Off with all their heads!!!

By: BoldStar ...DJ Montano is an asshole. One of those lazy no-good assholes you'd see loitering the cafes from Monte Carlo through to Paris and of course Manila waiting to try their scams on unwitting victims. Instead of selling his body per hour, he connives using love and affection to gain the victims’ trust. He reminds me of a taxi rank in Cabo San Lucas where touts encircle you like piranhas whose sole purpose in life is to rip you off albeit with smile. He reminds me of an offer for a "free" tour by an Indian taxi driver in Agra India. At least in both cases I can smell their con. Nothing in life is free. These are sociopaths who can never be rehabilitated. Like DJ MOntano, they have no conscience nor remorse but have astounding abilities to blend in easily as they are just full of fun and a source of entertainment in social gatherings. DJ Montano is a master manipulator who "APPEAR" to be intelligent, witty, charming and likable. It comes as no surprise that he sensed to have entitlements, over-rate his own greatness, and poor self control whose ability to use and hurt others is pervasive.

From Kitty Go Blog... He cheated people of hundreds of thousands of dollars in Manila. Now he is on the run and seeking employment illegally in America. You may be his next victim. You may be his current lover. Report any information to www.donavictorina.blogspot.com and find out about the scammer who did a runner on his ex-lover's blog, www.delfindjmontano.blogspot.com.

By Rain Barnido ...It is a travesty of justice and the triumph of evil if DJ Montano is allowed to roam freely and continue enjoying his debauched life without facing his responsibility towards the victims of his abuses, especially Brian Gorrell. A year after the scandal that shook Philippine faux-high society, DJ Montano walks like a free man, living a luxurious life in San Francisco, and apparently hunting for his next victims. Victorina strongly denounces such a mockery of our social mores, and if DJ Montano can get away with it, then any one can, if given the resources and connections he has. We strongly urge those who know the whereabouts of DJ Montano to report to the proper authorities so that proper legal actions can be done right away. We also believe the DJ should be given his day in court, to lay his arguments and defend himself. But first, people have to report where he is.

By Amiel Aguilar Cabanlig ...The Gucci Gang cuddled DJ Montano like a baby... Indeed, truth shouts while evil whispers!

1. DJ Montano is culpable unless he can establish with receipts how he spent Gorrell's money. DJ along with his sister Marvelli relayed on National TV that they were recipients of huge sums of money that were wired by Gorrell via Western Union.
2. I personally looked into the unlawful questioning and detention of Gorrell at the Makati Police station. It was illegal to hold Gorrell for questioning for more than 8 hours for an unsubstantiated “Unjust Vexation” case. (Professors of Criminal Law justify this apparent lack of definition saying that unjust vexation is a catch-all crime that applies whenever the act or omission complained of does not specifically fall under any other provision of the Revised Penal Code.)
3. JM Rodriguez personally testified to me that a certain Jackie Antonio saw money stashed in Montano’s bag so “they decided to leave the scene”. DJ Montano was known for “shady” business deals. He practiced public relations while he was a columnist for the Philippine Star. His paper, editor and friends were fully aware of it!

A Russian proverb says it all; Tell me who's your friend and I'll tell you who you are!

Simple Truth

My name is Brian Shane Gorrell.

I'm a very proud HIV positive writer/blogger/advocate/activist and humanitarian. I was born in Thunder Bay, Canada but grew up in Sydney Australia. However I truly feel very much like a global citizen having lived all over Europe, America and Asia.

Looking back I’ve always been a guy with a very positive outlook, in spite of experiencing my share of ups and downs throughout life. In 2001, I was diagnosed with HIV which changed the course of my life.

I’m a deeply devoted vehicle for change. Being such a passionate communicator comes easy to me now. My objectives are lofty but achievable nonetheless. Assisting faithfully the HIV/AIDS advocacy community to help eliminate HIV/AIDS related STIGMA is a primary goal that is closest to my heart. However, my type of advocacy spreads over a wide range of issues. Nothing is off limits or out of bounds. I write free with no commercial ties or restraints which gets me into some trouble at times and I always prevail.

The truth always prevails.

I started my incredible blogging journey under the most dire of circumstances, when my Filipino ex lover Delfin DJ Montano fraudulently obtained my life savings (US70,000) leaving me with nothing and he eventually fled the Philippines for San Fransisco in disgrace. DJ tried to destroy my life even after having me kidnapped (with help from Celine Lopez) from my hotel room in Manila and enforced my interrogation in jail for a highly illegal amount of time. My story is somewhat epic and it's etched in everything immoral and corrupt that surrounded my ex boyfriend DJ Montano and that aspect of the Philippines HIGH Society which allowed him to commit crime after crime and walk away.......

NOT THIS TIME!

DJ Montano stole everything from me except my ability to write and warn others through my blogging campaign for the truth. If DJ can steal from an HIV positive man... who knows what he is capable of doing.

I'll never stop trying to recover my life savings because it's everything I worked so hard for on my farm in Australia.

My health is a priority now and always will be. DJ took away my security and walked away from the devastation he caused leaving me with nothing except worry and fear. It's just not fare.

Well over 30 million people have read my blog now and It's broken every blogging record in the Philippines including unique hits and page reads. No other blog has even come close to these incredible numbers which I'm very proud of.

The energy I put into it comes from my heart mind and soul. Over the last two years, I've slayed my enemies and haters and I've destroyed their theories with the truth.

This blog is my healer and ultimately brought me to this wonderful place where I find myself today.
I'm still fighting for justice. I'll never stop.
I'm a fierce fighter.

I understand the responsibilities of being a blogger-advocate. I know myself to be the voice for many people. People who may never be heard, or have their passions acknowledged without a conduit like a blog.

The feeling I have to help others is overwhelming at times. And so, through this blog, my journey continues…

Live Love and Laugh

Bry, i have never had a hint that you have the gift, until i read your story. I am very sorry for what your former lover did to you, please accept my apologies on his behalf. Well, i admire your passion to live, your strength to pursue your goal, and advocacy to let people live in spite of their sickness. I can understand, It's because i have this friend in Hungary, we could have been together but he refused, he told me he only got less than five years to live, he told me to live my life without him but i can not just do that. From time to time we have so many communication, undoubtedly i just can not live a day without him. I have loved him no matter what. While reading i gained more optimism, more strength, more wisdom, and a realization that i am blessed and that blessing should be shared. My dear, you will be in my prayers. By january hopefully i will be in London, i applied in this Post Graduate studies and very much eager and really can not wait (cross your fingers!) You are a very lovely man and a very good looking hunk too. Take care always and God be with us!
