Why Are People Scared To Check Their Hiv Status: by oBBOR(m): 1:42pm On Oct 14, 2009
as for me i feel i see it as an avenue
to combat it from the root,
hearth aching when you see what youths have gone into

Because what you dont know wont hurt you. It is better not knowing than doing the test with a slight possibility it might be positive. I did mine a year ago and I was so scared before I went for it.

I was used to checking all the time, tested almost 5 times, all result= Negative, then I decided never to check again, since I figured out it was not my portion, at least I secure myself most of the time. Discipline counts in terms of sexuality.

One of the hardest thing i ever did!

Wouldnt say i blame anybody who is scared of doing that WE SABI OURSELVES!

Will it surprise you to learn that when the HIV Testing Machine was brought to the US,
that President George W. Bush Snr refused to be tested?

His reason was that the knowledge of being positive kills faster than the virus itself!

I no blame am my people!

Because sometimes Laboratories in Naija can lie and put you in trouble.

Even when you're suppose to be tested negative, you might be told you're positive.

We better don't do it, and live our lives in, with and for peace.
