Check Your HIV Status If You Have Used This Service Before by Ikonse(op):
Those of you that Patronize these Guys, pls I want you to quickly have a second thought on this.
Let's learn to protect ourselves at all time.
It takes nothing to Buy a Tiger Razor blade of Hundred naira to cut your Toe and Finger Nails. Please let's be careful. I already know of someone who contracted a particular virus from this. I prefer to respect the person's privacy and not go into detail.
You're your first Protector Before God.

I still don't understand why I should keep my legs and allow one mallam to cut my finger nails with some sharp object that I don't know where it's coming from? Hell no
I rather use nail cutter or a razor and have my nails done myself, have never use their service one day and would never, still looks ridiculous to me anytime I see someone getting their nails done this way 🤦

In general, HIV cannot live outside the body for more than a few minutes even in optimum conditions. Once blood is dried, even if it becomes wet again, HIV will not become infectious again.

FOR THE AWARENESS OF ALL .

HIV drugs in Nigeria will now go for 250k a doze.. Which on an average should be taken twice in a month, this drug used to be massively subsidised by the donors.

Mathematically, you have to spend 500k in a month now to get the complete doze, and remember you need this drugs to boost you immune system to be able to fight the virus.

HIV will spread like wide fire this period.. Infact in every 4 people you see 1 person will be infected, if measures are not curtailed now that trump has cut off support

The United State Government that used to subsidise Retroviral drugs in the past have stopped and pulled out of USAID and WHO.

It is therefore of grave importance that we are careful and hold ourselves.

It is also important to get yourself your own personal clippers.

Our Ladies who do Manicure and Pedicure should also be careful to ensure that sterilised instruments are used.

Be careful.

Hiv is a very weak virus when it's comes to this kind of infectivity....that is infection via poorly sterilised or unsterilised sharps

Hepatitis is what people should fear. That one can start on surfaces for days and still be infective as against hiv which can only stay a few minutes

It is CONTRACT and not Contact please. I get really very sad whenever people say this. It's a very common grammatical blunder amongst us, maybe Ignorance of the right word in such context.
