Hello everyone, i'm James, 27 years old, please pardon me as im no much of a writer.

Two years ago, i made a grave mistake with the opposite sex, more like a one night stand, never met her again, after that meeting, i was so scared i must have contracted maybe HIV, scared.

Two weeks later, i developed constant headache, you know that Head ache that can make you wanna cut off your head, later fever came in, as time went sore throat came along.

I went online, read signs and symptoms of HIV, and it was exactly same thing that was happening to me as of that time. Wow i was sacred and accepted my fate. But was scared to get tested.

Months passed, rashes came, it became so bad all over my body, my chest i would scratch till i bleed, still was scared to go get tested. I assumed i was positive, i decided to live with the disease, i felt when i get tested, i might die faster after seeing positive result.

During the lock down, the head ache came again, this time stronger than before, the rashes came all over my back, sore throat as well, joint pains, bums on my penis. Wow i was like God, help me through this journey, i used drugs, dustin powder and it faded away.

All this while i never discussed my fear with anyone, i kept it to myself.

Last week, fever came. The father of all rashes started again on monday, this time my penis, my chest, my face, my arms, legs everywhere. No i chickened out, i was like i needed to start the HIV drugs, fear again i went to the pharmarcy, they said it might be skin issues, they gave me drugs but it became worse.

On Tuesday, the whole stuff became unbearable and i ran to the hospital. The said they would run test on me, behold first test was HIV, i chickened out, i told them i would go withdraw money to pay for it.

I drove straight to another lab entirely. Because i was with a friend, i went to the lab like, today na today, let me see this result before the hospital take it. The lab attendant took my blood, said it would be out in 15minutes, the worst 15minutes of my life, my fear of two years ago will manifest today. He came out 15minutes later, said 5minutes more, i almost fainted.

Five minutes later, brought the results sealed, asked if i wanted to see a doctor, i said nope, just the result. He handed it to me i tore it open.. I saw NON-REACTIVE, i was like, what does this mean, he said its negative, i was sweating, i almost fainted, i asked again..NEGATIVE? he said yes.

I drove off, ran to another lab, this lab asked i waited 30 minutes, paid 1,500 they came again NON-REACTIVE. i went on my kneels to thank God all mighty, i was so scared to my bones.


I assumed i had HIV in two years, and lived like a victim, i returned to the hospital, this time a bold man, they ran the test and said i had microflera something something sha. And started treatment, and said i had chicken pox.

My joy knows no bounds.


Im saying this to encourage you, dont assume anything, go get tested if you feel some kinda way, dont assume when you read from google.

Make sure you use protection always, or better still Abstain. If you have been raped, please do all necessary test. Its better to know what the issue is than to live in fear of the unknown.

Thanks for reading

Congratulations.

You played yourself. Put yourself through unnecessary trauma. If you are scared, travel to a distant town, Run test using a different name. Know your status instead of assuming.

What has IGBO got to do with someone running a test?

The Israelites were instructed not to eat unclean animals to avoid health attack from bacteria, poisonous organisms, germs, deadly worms, toxins, infection, and every other diseases as they feed from carcass, decayed and toxic foods, and are carrier of these diseases..

The same we are instructed not to fornicate because of the physical and spiritual health attack from diseases and unclean spirits (demons)..

You have learnt a lesson..
