A man has shared a personal account of living with HIV, attributing his condition to what he described as a previously promiscuous lifestyle involving multiple sexual partners.
In a statement circulating online, the man said he could not identify a specific source of infection due to his past behavior.
“I cannot tell exactly who gave me HIV cos I use to be very promiscuous, I use to go to different brothels to carry different partners,” he said.
The post has since generated widespread reactions on social media, with many users expressing sympathy, while others highlighted the importance of sexual health awareness and preventive measures.
Health professionals consistently emphasize that HIV can be transmitted through unprotected sexual contact, sharing of contaminated sharp objects, and other high-risk behaviors, and stress the importance of regular testing, safe practices, and early treatment.
Public health experts also note that individuals living with HIV can lead long and healthy lives with proper medical care, particularly through the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART).
As of the time of filing this report, the identity of the individual could not be independently verified, and no official medical records were attached to the circulating statement.
