Yesterday was World Aids Day. Everyone has been affected by this pandemic. Many knew and few celebrated. Less have gone for an AIDS test. Are you among the few? It’s only a good step for you to start living a positive life whether you are positive or negative. Look at this; if you find yourself positive, you can always take better steps such as changing your sexual behaviour or indeed guarding against getting those loved ones near you contaminated by exchange of used needles or razor blades or being careful when treating ones’ sore. You can further adopt a better eating diet and take more immune boosting food stuff and medicines such as ARV which can help prolong your life, more than if you had ignored.
If you are negative then life may equally call for some precautious measures. You will need to guard jealously against any times or moments that may increase your chances of contracting the virus. I would suggest you abstain from sex until you go for another test with your would-be wife before you can get married and fully enjoy yourselves without “fear or favour” in marriage. If get under pressure and want to defy abstinence then carefully use a condom but remember that the condom is just a balloon that can bust any time and once this happens the whole moment of pleasure would plunge you into a turmoil of thoughts, ‘that you may be a new host of some of the Aids virus’. However being negative can help you make long plans like studying for a second degree instead of continuously working.
So my friend be the change and courageously get that AIDS test. I will be going for my third test next week!
