THE OWNER OF THE HEART ROOM
128

"Ready?" richard asked with a smile after helping Nawang remove the seat belt.

Nawang nodded with a light smile even though his heart was stubborn as well.

This will be the first step to start a plan to have a baby with Richard's special condition.

There will be some special things that they will do and meet later.

"May the process be launched huh." murmured Richard while tightly grasping Nawang's fingers.

"Aamiin.." answered Nawang born to the inner.

She knew this would be a little different from her first pregnancy back then, when she was pregnant with the Star. But he was confident, they would both be able to go through all the process and would pay off as they expected.

"Doctor Pramudya has recommended Dr. Melia for us. He is an obgyn doctor who has been used to treat serodiscordant couples (different couples HIV status). May we be lucky with his help" Richard said expectantly.

"Aamiinu. And now we're going to see Melia's doctor?" nawang asked as he looked at Richard.

"Yes. Doctor Pramudya has made an appointment for us, nine o'clock, as his first patient today." replied Richard with a smile while looking at the watch on his wrist.

"Ten minutes, honey" said Richard.

Nawang just nodded and a little astonishment followed the steps of Richard who still clasped his fingers down the hospital hallways.

Richard never seemed confused which way to go each time he passed a branching road in the hospital corridor. As already memorized properly with each aisle of this hospital.

"His room was in front of it" Richard said as he looked towards the front.

"Kayak memorized you the same every hallway of this hospital" said Nawang could not help his curiosity.

"The first time I knew I was HIV almost every day I came here" Richard said, smiling bitterly.

"See Doctor Pram?" ask Nawang to guess.

Richard halted his steps before arriving in front of the obgyn room. Bringing Nawang over and standing beside a large pole near the entrance.

"No." replied Richard, shaking slowly. His face seemed to be holding wounds.

"Then do what?" asked Nawang again, still curious.

"To see the suffering of others who are sicker and more visible than my pain. To strengthen myself. To convince myself that I was still luckier than them" Richard said, looking down, sad, and ashamed of remembering, as if using the suffering of others to motivate himself.

Nawang was stunned to hear it. His heart suddenly felt agonizing at the pain of Richard's suffering when it had to be alone hide and live it all.

Trying to strengthen himself without the help of the closest people who should be able to be with him.

"R**eally my greatest man" Nawang said as he rubbed Richard's cheek at a glance.

Richard smiled as he clasped the fingers that had rubbed his cheeks.

"And I was lucky. Today will begin the journey of having children. Big things that I never dared to imagine. Thank you, dear, for accompanying me to realize my beautiful dream." said Richard then grabbed Nawang into his arms with haru.

"Mas, shame." said Nawang as he struck his chest softly.

Richard hurried to release his embrace while laughing.

A view around their location. Fortunately, it was quiet from the traffic of people.

"We go in yuk." take Richard later.

Nawang sat himself in a waiting chair next to the registration counter while Richard was seen talking to the administration.

Before long the man approached her with a smile.

"We're coming straight in, honey. Doctor Melia was ready to receive the first patient" Richard said as he extended his hand to Nawang who rushed to his feet by receiving her husband's helping hand.

The feeling of deg-degan both when going to enter the practice room Melia doctor immediately disappeared when he saw the friendly smile and motherhood of the woman around fifty years old.

He even immediately stood up from his seat and extended his hand first.

"Good morning, Doctor." greeted Richard politely as he received the hand of doctor Melia warmly.

"Good morning, Mr. Richard's mother." replied the doctor Melia while shaking the hand of Nawang who was smiling happily.

"Call Eric, Doc. This is my wife, Nawang" Richard said after they sat down.

"Alright, Mr. Eric" said Melia's doctor, smiling happily.

"It can be without Mr and Ma. We are younger than you" Richard said with a laugh.

Doctor Melia laughed happily.

"alright. But please forgive me if next I am not polite with you guys huh. You asked for it." said Melia's doctor, glancing at the joke.

"But it seems like we will be the ones who will be disrespectful later on. Please forgive me if we will start to trouble you often later." Richard said with a slow laugh.

"No problem. I'm glad the patient actively asks. They care about their health. Mumpung has not forgotten please save my mobile number. You can ask via message. Although it may not be a fast response but I try to always answer the question." said doctor Melia while holding out a sheet of business cards that rushed received by Richard.

"Waaah, thank you very much, Doc" said Richard then kept the card in his blazer pocket.

"We can start our discussion, guys?" ask Melia's doctor with a smile.

His hand had already started to open the file in front of him and briefly read.

"I've studied your history, Ric. And OK everything. So on the outline you can very well have children. Have you had a child before?" asked Melia doctor while looking at the two.

"We've got two kids, Doc" Nawang said.

Doctor Melia smiled hearing that.

"Canaaa. Although Eric is in a special condition, but from the medical record looks very good health" said Melia doctor while observing the medical record in front of her, a delivery from Pramudya doctor.

Richard smiled with relief, even though he already knew his condition every time he finished checking ©viral load and CD4™ which was always good from the beginning.

Doctor Melia smiled understandingly as she looked at the look of confusion on Nawang's face.

He knew from Pramudya's doctor that his patient was a new partner. Maybe Nawang did not understand the details about the condition of her husband.

"Let Nawang be more sure that Eric is safe to have offspring, I clearly have a little yes" said doctor Melia while looking at Nawang.

Nawang nodded happily. Indeed, he needs to know more details about Richard's health position and the safety of their intention to have children.

" Terms that must be done serodiscordant couples who want to have offspring are already regular consumption of ARVs, undetectable viral load (not detected), checking sexually transmitted infections, and doing @semen analysis for HIV men." Doctor Melia paused for a moment to explain so that Nawang could digest well.

"Before the two of you get to this obgyn, Eric's already been tested for viral load and CD4. Eric's viral load results from the second check up to the last one yesterday are always good, always undetectable.(not detected). CD4 is always good. In the range of 800-1200 cells/mm of blood. Whereas for ODHA, CD4 at 450 is already healthy. normal human CD4 is in the range of 500-1500 cells/mm blood" explained Dr. Melia.

He saw a smile of relief on Nawang's face after hearing his explanation.

"Eric has also checked for sexually transmitted infections, and the results are negative" said Melia's doctor.

Richard glanced at Nawang who was staring at him.

"Eric has also done tests to analyze fertility (fertility). And the results are good. Everything is OK for promil." said Melia doctor.

"Then we can do promil when, Doc?" ask Richard then.

"We count on the fertile period of Nawang. After the fertile period, during the three days you beat up in bed" said the doctor Melia while glancing humorously, making Richard and Nawang gawking at him.

What do you mean, get in bed?

Mind Richard and Nawang auto traveling (kayak readers 🙊🙈).

Doctor Melia who was stared at by gawking along with gawking.

"Why?" asked doctor Melia finally with a wrong face

"What did you mean, Doc?" richard asked a little embarrassed.

Nawang also looked at her shyly.

"Which one is it?" ask Dr. Melia confused.

"That's a punch in the bed earlier." said Richard straightforwardly. Nawang blushed to hear it.

"You're going to promil naturally or inseminate anyway? Why am I even following along confused." asked doctor Melia laughs amusedly.

"It's natural, Doc?" ask Nawang this time.

Unknowingly Nawang grabbed Richard's fingers that had been resting on the back of the chair.

©viral load (VL) is done once every 6-12 months.

The size of the viral load is DETECTABLE and UNDETECTABLE.

DETECTED means there is still a number of viruses in the blood that can be calculated by the detector.

UNDETECTABLE means that the number of viruses in the blood is very small (under 339 viruses).

(Source: guebisa.org)

The VL test can be done in 3 ways, namely:

💜💜METODE PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) . This method is commonly used in Indonesia. PCR uses an enzyme to multiply HIV in a blood sample, then a chemical reaction marks the virus. Markers are measured and used to count the number of viruses.

💜💜METODE bDNA (branced DNA).

💜💜METODE NASBA (Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Application).

CD4™ (Cluster Differentiation 4) is an immune cell that plays a role in the body's protection against disease. Cells that are attacked by HIV (Source: www.sehatq.com).

ODHA is considered healthy if its CD4 is above 350 cells/ml of blood. (Source: www.sehatq.com).

CD4 count tests should be done every 3-6 months.

@cement fluid analysis is performed to ensure that HIV men do not experience fertility(fertility) problems.

This examination needs to be done because research shows that men with HIV have more fertility problems than men without HIV.
