That’s a good development!!!

Welcome development. HIV is just a disease or sickness. It is AIDS that ought to be dreaded. But unfortunately, our people out of ignorance neglect to test for HIV until it has progressed to a point called AIDS where the T4 cell count may no longer be helped. Therefore, early detection is the key. Also, there is need for sensitization. HIV/AIDS is still highly stigmatized in the country. It is just one of those sicknesses and contagion by means other than sexual intercourse is high.

THAT IS MASSIVE

HIV was brought into this country by Afonja’s. Adebimpe Fakoya imported the dreaded disease back in 1987 after sleeping with infected humans in Italy.

The rest is history...
