1st of December every year is world AIDS Day.

To date about 75 million people have died of AIDS ,(that's half Nigeria's population)

35 million people globally are living with the Virus ,3.3 million of them are under the age of 15 (that's more than the population of most states )

3.4 million Nigerians are presently living with the Virus

Over 150 million children have lost one or both parents to the virus

In 2012, 2.3 million people were infected according to UNAIDS

Benue state, my state leads the pack of HIV infection in Nigeria

230,000 children died of AIDS and HIV related illnesses in 2012 ,

A greater percentage of HIV infections are among young people ,


Please, share your thoughts on what you think can be done to reduce the prevalence rate of HIV AIDS in Nigeria !

Pls answer this few question

1. Will you sleep with an HIV infected person on the same bed

2. If you discover Fiance is infected will you still go ahead with the wedding ?

3. What will you do if your wife tests positive to the virus?

4. If your long term friend confides in you that he or she is positive will that affect the relationship ?

World AIDS Day: A Poem On HIV,
The unhired killer

The piece is written by Dr. Soyombo Ayomikun

Enjoy!

I was on a mission to a village

And as I settled down someone else came in making the town crier strike his gong

Screaming that ‘Adaobi approaches’ in high decibels

Following which a scampering began

Mothers gathered their children inside the huts hastily

Husbands dashed away leaving their kegs of palmwine & bushmeat

In hushed tones I was later told all hid because of Adaobi’s terrible disease

She had been infected with HIV; the unhired killer

Mama suddenly started becoming all bones

Her once full frame speedily being shed into the winds

Colourful robes that once hugged her body gradually became ill-fitting

With each passing day she became frail and weak

On checking her blood the doctors announced

That the faceless virus had come to stay

We didn’t ask for a battle but now has been challenged to a war

By HIV; the unhired killer

The little girl got rushed into the emergency ward

After the bestiality of an untamed man ripped her hymen

Confused she looked into her doctor’s eyes seeking answers

To why everyone around her was in tears

With the animal that devoured her innocence already behind bars

It seemed like the god of vengeance was rising for her cause

But then on checking her blood resident there was HIV; the unhired killer

In exchange for a sublime rare pleasure

Condom,or whatever it is named,the young man ripped apart

Little did he know that as the rubber was thorn so also were his dreams

Thoughtlessly he consummated his passions with the goddess from the red district

Several months passed drowning the reality of a viral reprisal

But then after a while tuberculous cough sneaked into his  lungs

On finally landing in the hospital his blood was checked

Staring back at his caregivers was HIV; the unhired killer

The disease neither flies through the winds nor crawl beneath the waters

Rather it follows a path from one infected soul to the next

Blooming into a wicked battalion right within infected blood

All at the end to raze down the defences of its prey

Till other opportunistic infections get empowered to kill

Diseases that usually will not get recognition

And as the minnows tear the spirit apart from the body the virus gladly sits watching

What a show of horror by HIV; the unhired killer

Please let us not desert whoever is a carrier

They can without fear be cuddled & even  invited over for dinner

The wicked virus is powerless with mere physical contact

Finding strength to live mostly when blood mixes with blood & through sexual intercourse

For you pregnant mothers confirmed infected shed no tears

Together with your jewels there’s help for you beneath the eyes of a specialist

Zero transmission & Zero discrimination is the key

To save our world from HIV; the unhired killer

To win this battle all must arise

Either to get screened or embrace the known status

Even though living together as a family share no sharps

If too young to swallow the forbidden fruit don’t simulate sex

For passions wildly raging may the act be with a protection

And all for sanity to reign hold on tightly to your partner

Little precautions will at the end yield us the victory

Over HIV; the unhired killer

SEX and the city

Sex&the city wil b a good title 4it cos dat series corrupted a lot of ppl.

In dat series,those women were just f*ckin around without consequences,a lot of naïve adolescence might hav followed dat same footsteps.

I remember in one episode,one of d women got infected wit clamydia&d dr told her 2contact al d ppl dat sh had unprotected s*x wit so dat they can get tested&u need 2c d list of sh made.Imagine an inexperience teenager watchin such series.Geeez

The married ones ar stil seekin 4adventures outside their marriage&wen they get infected&they infect their patners&wen they unfortunately die,they make their children orphans.The number of Orphans keep growin evryday due 2AIDS

ways to prevent HIV infection:
ABSTINENCE, USE CONDOM DURING SEX, AVOID SKIN TO SKIN SEX, AVOID PROSTITUTES, USE STERILIZE HYPODERMIC NEEDLE,AVOID SHARING SHARP OBJECTS, USE ONLY HIV SCREENED BLOOD DURING TRANSFUSION.

Alright

#ZeroDiscrimination
