Instagram model Gena Tew, who announced a few days ago about her diagnosis and battle with HIV, recently posted an update for all her fans. The model announced to a tabloid that she was completely blind in one eye due to bad eye surgery. In August 2021, Gena had surgery in Memphis, Tennessee to restore her lost vision. At the time, her restored vision lasted only five days before her eye disease recurred. The model claimed to TMZ that the unsuccessful procedure blinded her and all she could see was pure black.
At the same time, she recounted how all the medications given by the doctor had made her unwell. Additionally, the model reveals that doctors are considering another procedure. On the other hand, Gena Tew insists she has not made her decision yet.
Gena Tew’s general health has improved.
Although it has been several months since Gena Tew revealed that she has HIV, the updates are now reassuring, with doctors claiming that there has been significant improvement in several areas. Gena can now walk with the help of a walker. The woman also gained weight. She used to weigh 90 pounds and is now 105 pounds. At the same time, after being diagnosed, Gena Tew started self-funding through GoFundMe because she wanted to raise some money to be closer to her family.
According to Gena, being close to her family will help her recover faster. As of this writing, the model has raised about $16,570 from 518 GoFundMe contributors.
Gena noted on the website when sharing her sister’s story:
“My name is Gena Tew, and I am fighting AIDS. On June 8, I lost my only sister to a rare lung disease called Fibromyalgia.” She left behind a life partner and three young children. She just turned 29… We are currently fundraising to move to where they are so we can be there for them. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.”
On October 23, 2022, Gena Tew issued an update, noting that she can buy a new home with the donation and also cover her medical expenses.
When did Gena Tew announce that she has AIDS? Age and other aspects of the Instagram model investigated.
Gena Tew says she was diagnosed with HIV in August 2022. She made the announcement in a TikTok video in which she discussed her illness and how she was dying before doctors found out what was wrong with her. She also said that she did not know who infected her, but the medical professional who diagnosed her revealed that she had been infected for 8-10 years. Given that the model is now 27 years old, she must have been around 17 or 18 when she contracted the virus. Gena explains how she could have AIDS in the following ways:
“I’ve got a few free tattoos, so it could be a dirty needle.” Do I recognize any of them? Are not. Did I say anything when those events happened? Are not. Because I was young, inexperienced and ignorant.”
Furthermore, she says in the video that she has informed all of her romantic partners about her illness so they can also self-medicate. However, none of Gena’s partners have tested positive yet.
