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 ? Spread the Message not the Virus !!!!!! Dec 1st world AIDS DAY |

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 N.B. : the name mentioned in this article is fictitious and does not refer to any particular person,dead or alive. 3 Likes |

ochejoseph: In 24 hrs time teenagers from the Redeeemed Christian church of God will be gathering for. A special HIV and AIDS conference tagged 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 |
