Oh boy. HIV is real but with the up rise of baby mamas one can't help but wonder if people use condoms anymore. Some boys be forming players and collecting the virus from one girl and deposit in another. some girls be forming runs girls and collecting the virus from sugar daddies to deposit in their boyfriends. We all have to be careful, HIV is real. spread the news not the virus
I thought you useless fools where shouting we don't need aid from USA, america pls stop helping this murders called nigerians,they kill gay people
Nice...I'd luv 2participate as it'd be educative.
Noted.
Great step to a more enlightened future.
Thank you Jesus. FInally, someone is thinking about this HIV thingy
HIV is predicated upon mans neglect of divine, timeless and immutable imperatives.
Nice @pop council Nigeria....
Na igbo boys dey bring aids come naija from sa
Perfect, this is just what I need. writing my final project on HIV/AIDS
But this is funny oh Linda, ur blog readers comment on everything they see interesting but when it comes to hiv I see only 11 comments. Pple need to take this serious, I work for an hiv charity and the amount of nigerians infected is alarming. I once read a few years ago that we are the 4th worst affected number wise.
I suggest u encourage more of ur blog readers to at least yake an hiv test and know their status.
Yes not seen something like this in your blog before, a step in the right direction, linda, I applaud you for this for once, not only posting news about only homosexuals, kim kardashan nd some annoying news that won't contribute to the society, I'm glad that this topic is openly disscussed, pls everyone needs this I mean everyone especially the men theY don't see d need to protect thermselves during sexual intercourse, can u imagine?I'v interviewd quite a no of guyz and what they say is "I'll use it on the lady on the ist day but when I consistently hit it,n I'd do away with the conDoms, its sweeter that way" look at the height of ignorance!, what most nigerians think about is how to chase money up and down,they don't think about protectng their llives which is the basic thing, health is wealth, pls let's stop our lacadaisical attitude 2wards protection while having sex, ladies its not written on the face! Let ur man always use condoms, even if u trust him to deaths, always go for medical checkup often, if u prefer it w/out condoms, rmbr one mistake can change ur whole life!, as for guyz that prefer hitting it w/out condoms, its d stupid babes I blame that allow u 2 hit it w/out condoms, pls be wise! Life has no duplicate!
I thank GOD for my life.6 months ago I went to PH city to see a guy(runs things) nd behold he forcefully had unprotected sex with me since then I drew d line from runs nd got into a very serious relationship.After living in fear for over 6months I nd my boyfriend decided to go for d test nd everything came out NEGATIVE (including Hepatitis).My boyfriend was wondering y I was so excited that we were negative but of course he couldn't understand...so now he has proposed to me nd life has never gotten sweeter than this before nd d chapter of RUNS closed forever....
Ok
Protection isn't 100% abstenance is the way to go buh God help us.
