Please insist/use a condom if you are a serial lover!

The Director General of the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA), Professor John Idoko, Tuesday disclosed that with 3.4 million Nigerians living with HIV/AIDS, Nigeria has become the second largest country where the disease has afflicted so many people.

Idoko, who made this disclosure during a public hearing on a bill seeking an end to discrimination against HIV victims, said the ailment was more prevalent in 13 states.

Idoko, who noted that only 18 per cent of HIV positive women received prophylaxis treatment against mother-child transmission, noted that only 18 per cent of the 170 million population in the country had gone for HIV test, adding that more than 40 per cent of HIV positive persons do not know their status.

OH MY GOD,THIS IS SERIOUS!.....Abroad if you do not disclose your status to someone and you infect them,it incurs a jail term!

Idoko must be silly. Since the exit of the former NACA boss what has the agency been doing? Silly human being indeed!
