ReplyDelete*Larry was here*
First test positive and you don't have Cash,then you will know how it feels, a barber I know around my street tested HIV and confided in a foe not friend but he spread the news like wild fire,when I heard abt it I was scared and couldn't sleep coz we were a bit close, he always told abt his sex escapades, how he sleeps with every girl in his street,i just can't imagine what he's passing through coz its easy for me since I heard the news

DeleteHmmmm! But testing HIV positive isn't isn't death sentence na.
ReplyDeleteHIV women boku 4 dis blog,NA deir house be dis
DeleteA bend in the road is not the end of the road. Hiv isn't a death sentence and most people with the virus go on to live normal lives. May her soul rip and may her family be comforted.
ReplyDeleteShe was murdered. Police would choose suicide as that wraps up the case quickly.
DeleteEyah,
ReplyDeleteKnowledge is power.
Maybe she doesn't know that being positive to HIV is not d end of d world.
I doubt she stabbed herself. Perhaps her husband killed her because of her HIV status. But, I doubt the Nigerian Police will get it right at investigating.
ReplyDeleteHow easy is it to stab oneself? Na wa
ReplyDeletePublic enlightenment and awareness is needed fully.
ReplyDeleteThat's not the end of the world..maybe she didn't meet a good counsellor...
ReplyDeleteWhat a loss! The medication here is free! They go about their business without stigma! Environment matters alot !
ReplyDeletePeople who commit suicide can never stab themselves multiple times. Not scientifically possible. This is a clear case of murder. Nigerian police are too stupid and ill equipped to know such. Smh. RIP to her.
ReplyDeleteSomething is not right about this story, who knows perhaps she was murdered. Rip to her.
ReplyDeleteNa wa. RIP lady. what will she tell God now.
ReplyDeleteHIV is no longer death sentence again.
Why madam? My cousin got it and still got 3 beautiful kids that are negative. I dont know why you are in a hurry to die. Anyway, rip to u
ReplyDeleteYou peeps saying HIV isn't a death silence are mostly the ones that stigmatise people living with the virus
ReplyDeletePlease stop the stigma
Huuu
ReplyDeletePeople with HIV are still living their lives at full, HIV is not a dealth sentence.
ReplyDeleteIn South Africa, it is just like malaria and the girls will simply tell u, "I'm sick" if they see u r pestering to date them. That statement means she's got hiv...
ReplyDeleteIf they've got malaria, they say, "I've got flu". Meanwhile in Nigeria, we say we r sick when we have ordinary malaria lol
In 2013 when I had to go for hiv test as my younger bro was prodding me to go after he did his and tested negative, I was so scared cos I had never done the test since I was born lol made up my mind to go.
I was on the queue, it got to the turn of a fresh colored girl with an hour glass figure (70% of ladies in sa are like that from age 13 upwards) in front of me. Not quite long she came out and went to join another queue in another office.
I went in and had my done after being high tensed up and shaking, thought about all d girls I've had lol.. and lo! It was negative and asked to go. I asked her why the lady before me went to another queue after her own test, she told me in confidence that lady has got the virus hence the reason she going to queue for counselling.
here was a lady while on the queue for counselling was still pinging on BBM and laughing hysterically with her friends... I was shocked! U see why I said hiv is like normal malaria in South Africa here. Guys beware and condomize if u aren't married. Cheers..
Ok this is the first am saying this out publicly.I v once gone for hiv test in a local clinic in Lagos 2011 and the lab guy came out and said my result was positive.I was devastated and managed to find my way home,While at home I was contemplating suicide but my spirit kept telling me not to give up.I engaged in serious prayers with psalms,I wept,fasted asking God for second chance.Two days later I went back to a different clinic and the result came negative, I couldn't believe I went to two other places that same day and they both came negative.my people God got involved in my case,I dnt know if it was the mistake of the first place or God's miracle.I just thank God I didn't take my own life while in that huge mess.All glory be to God Amen.Meanwhile since then I do hiv test every three months.pls not every positive result is actually positive,sometimes it's the fault of the lab technician so dnt be in a hurry to take any harsh decisions,wait for the confirmatory result biko
