      Hello o?... @ anon 4:53, you seriously need to chill, how can you wish such a thing on someone, if you have an idea of how horrible rape is, not to talk of "gang" rape, you would not be so quick to wish it on a person's family munber who has done nothing to you.

    I hate to hear this kind of story because I have yet to hear of any rapist apprehended and made to face the full weight of the law....I guess thats why they do this evil with glee.I advice the lady to go for a recheck at a more sophisticated hospital because some of these roadside "labs' sometimes make serious flaws.They can use expired reagents,introduce foreign bodies into specimens and also employ lazy workers.Let rapists be punished.

    Pls whenever u r exposed 2 d virus, b it rape or needle prick, visit a govt hospital immediately in less than 72hrs n complain 2 d doctor in charge of the HIV clinic so u can b given a PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxes) in case d blood or fluid contains d virus. Dis helps 2 prevent d victim 4rm getting d virus. WITHIN 72HRS is d time it takes d virus 2 adapt (in simple language) After 72hrs, nothing can b done.

    There is a window period of about 3-6months for hiv virus, window period meaning, tests are not likely to give meaningful results until that time. That's why its advised that we have hiv tests every 6months. Now, she was raped and immediately went to check and saw she was positive? Those things don't happen automatically, even bhcg, the pregnancy hormone has a window period, that's why a lady cannot tell if she's pregnant few days after sex. It won't show u anything until after atleast a week, sometimes more. Whatever the case, I feel really sorry for her. Its not the end of the world. She needs ALL the support she can get nw from family, because friends no be am. FLIPA

    This is crazy!!! she should been administered with PEP within 72hrs after the rape that is if she was actually negative at the time of the rape and not wait till 3mths. Cases of rape should not be treated likely. must be reported promptly to the police.

    Are you kidding me? So those that did the test actually told her to wait for 3 months before they can test her for HIV when they know by that time the virus can't be treated again? Now we complain about the government, did the government also tell her to wait for test? I'm not a medical practitioner but I know the virus can be treated within the first 72hrs if the incident and what these fools could tell her to do is wait for 3 months when what they ought do is treat her for the virus anyways. Lord have mercy

    @Gbyte, June 4, 2014 at 8:49 AM- it is not really possible to cure HIV even at the earliest stage- HIV is a virus that multiples itself and can change shape/direction to defend itself if it comes under attack- that is why it is so difficult to cure but it is not impossible to treat and control the virus for sometime. My understanding of the story was that she was given drugs within 72 hours and was told to test for HIV in 3 months which was what she did. The gang may have infected her but they have also infected themselves too by the look of things

    This reporter slow abeg asking question like Persin wey get dementia or short term memory loss. He's very foolish and Sahara report need to train him on how to interview traumatized victims. Even the female reporter was trying to point out his stupidity. The girl already said everything he went to keep on reiterating multiple times in her initial interview. The girl was very coherent and patient, may God heal and bring retributions to the criminals who attacked her

    I know that God will heal her, because it was no fault of hers, there is justice for every deed under the sun. Sometimes I wonder why men who were born of women will still have theb the guts to hurt women. Yesterday I watched a video of a man defiling a girl between 11 and 12 yrs of age. He pushed all his 5 fingers into her for over 15 minutes and the fool was busy fondling himself while the little girl was writhing in pains and was trying to push his hand out. I saw a girl whose life has been over before it began, a girl whose vagina has been widened even b4 child birth, and today I'm convinced that men are WICKED.
