A man has cried out on live TV about how his wife concealed her positive HIV status from him.
According to the man, his wife contracted HIV in 2017 and never informed him before their marriage in 2020.
The man revealed that after their marriage in 2020, his wife got sick, and the doctor asked him to do some tests, leading to him discovering his wife’s HIV-positive status.
Speaking on JOY PRIME, the man narrated, “I got married in 2020, and then my wife got sick, and I took her to the hospital, and the doctor asked me to come and do a certain lab, which was where I discovered my wife is positive.
I discovered she was positive in 2017, and we got married in 2020. But thanks to God, we never got intimate until I got married to her because I believed as a muslim I had to do the right thing.
The saddest part is, I supported her in everything that she does, from the counselling to the medication that she takes. I love my wife so much, I love her with everything that I have”.
The man broke down in tears while revealing that he risked it all to get her pregnant.
“One day I asked her if I was the one who tested positive, would you stay? She just smiled.
This thing of fear I have it, when we have intimacy, when I use protection, she will start crying, when will she have her own kid, and I took the risk what whatever is going to happen should happen, and then she got pregnant”, he opened up.
The man added, “When we went to the doctor, he asked me if I was crazy. I asked you to wait for at least 8 months or 6 months, and now your wife is pregnant, which means you can also be positive. They gave me medication, but when I took the medication, I started having stomach cramps, so I decided not to take the medicine again”.
In related HIV news, Dr Prosper Akanbong, the Director-General of the Ghana AIDS Commission, has raised an alarm over the rising HIV cases among youths.
According to the AIDS Commission, HIV cases among youth aged 15 to 24 are on the rise.
The AIDS Commission noted that youths are now prioritising the prevention of pregnancy and forgetting about sexually transmitted infections.
He revealed that there has been an increase in the use of contraceptives over condoms.
Dr Prosper Akanbong stated, “We are seeing high infection rates among young and adolescent groups. The 15 to 24 age group is experiencing a progressively rising trend in HIV cases, and that is very worrisome”.
“They tend to think more about the fear of pregnancy rather than the fear of infections. So, you see the use of emergency contraceptives on the rise, but not enough condom use,” he lamented.
