that day was like hell for me.
i secured employment somewhere and in the cause of filling the employment form, i was told i need to go for medicals.
before then, iv neva had the test before and truth be told, ive dated some really crazy fellows who am sure had like a million other girls. upon hearing the word medicals,i suddenly started shaking.

the organisation was a place where i had a lot of friends and the nursing sister was always so friendly with me so u can all imagine my fears.

towards afternoon of the same day, i decided to gather courage and go for a vct.i felt it was better for me to know my status on my own and reject the appointment by cooking up a story that ive gotten a better job somewhere else than for the nursing sister to look me in the eye and tell me i was hiv positive.

i called the nearest okada and hit the road, looking for a lab. i located one and this was how it went:


ayeesha: goodday madam

receptionist: goodday madam.how may i help you?

ayeesha: eehm, em, ahh, ehm

receptionist: c`mon madam, how may i help you?(smiling)

ayeesha: ah, actually, em, i , i want to, to to em find out my genotype and bood group( for where, these are things i already knew)

receptionist: your bill is N700 and proceeds to fill a form for me.

i was already sweating seriously by then.while she was still filling the form for me, i casually asked her how much they charged for their hiv test and she told me a thousand naira and asked if she should include it in my form.i told her no but unknown to me, a lab technician was beside us and butted in.

lab tech: yes, yes, pls include it for her.and turning to face me said " you shld undergo the test cos thats the only way you can have peace of mind".

i became soo cold cos i felt i was getting a death sentence.

ayeesha: okay, include the test for me

receptionist: dnt worry my dear, it is well.

ayeesha: AMMMMEN i quikly answered. how long wil it take

receptionist: just an hour so u can wait( me wait? lai lai. i will faint before the results come out)

ayeesha: actually i cnt wait cos i have to go back to work

receptionist: no problem.we close at six and if u come even five minutes to six, we shall still give u ur result

ayeesha: (really scared now) what if i cant come back today? can i have ur phone no. so i can call?

receptionist: no madam, you have to come physically to collect it.dnt worry, all will be well.

my name was then called and i went in to give my blood sample.

ayeesha: oga, how long will it take?

tech: just an hour and make sure you come back in one hour, he concluded menacingly

i left for the office and was not myself. i could not eat or even talk to anyone.i had to tell my boss i was not feeling too well when he saw the way i was looking. icould not remove my eyes from the clock.exactly one hour later, i went back to the lab

receptionist: (smiling) welcome madam. i wasnt expecting to see you back today at all

ayeesha: (heart pounding) hmm, there is no point delaying the inevitable

lab tech: (looks at me, frowns and picks up my form. i was nearlly peeing in my pants at the look on her face) "here is ur result and congratulations!

nairalanders, it was not easy. i almost fainted for joy! i was shaking and the lady had to give me a chair to sit down and recover.i could not believe my luck cos of the kind of guys i had dated in the past.now atleast i have peace of mind and can watch hiv/aids adverts,movies and campaigns which i could not do before out of fear of the unknown.

@ busta

haba bros, what kind of advice is that?

i can understand how u feel.its bad enuf catching ur bfriend in the act. how much more when its ur husband.
well, it all depends on you. if you really love him and he`s showing remorse for his crimes,then i think you should forgive him and try to forge ahead and at the same time,putting him in prayers.

but if you feel you cant live with the fact that he could actually cheat on you, then its best you take sometime off.
gives you both the space and time to think things over.

wether it will actually be for better or for worse.

@ naughtytroll

no i`m not.

thanks y`all. i really appreciate ur contributions. i only hope she listens to these advice.

@ seun

she`s been married for 6 months

@ seun

she`s been maried for 6 months.

Should She Or Should She Not?

hi yàll. serious advice needed please.

A married friend of mine has a bit of a problem and really needs your advice. her husband has been very nasty to her in the past one month. He gets easily angry and irritable with her and tries to pick quarrels with her over the slightest issues.

She's been so miserable and confused. a few weeks ago, she meet another guy who has been paying her some serious attention, despite the fact that he knows she`s married(he`s also married). each time she has those increasingly frequent fights with her husband, she turns to the other guy to chat and make herself happy.

Now she has fallen in love with the man and is really contemplating having at least a fling with him. she claims her husband is the one pushing her to do it with hies constant nagging and fightings?

Please Nairaland users, what do you suggest I tell her as a friend?

haba dis guy! wat do u mean the luv will come faster after she knows how much he earns?

are u trying to say something to the ladies in the house by any chance?
