A Nigerian gay right activist Bisi Alimi, who gained International attention when he became the first Nigerian to come out on publicly on television, is celebrating 18 years of living with the virus.
Bisi, in his post, said: “Eighteen years ago, at the National AIDS Conference in Abuja and with nudging from friends, I walked into into a testing booth for the first time.
“I walked out with HIV positive test result. Two years before then, I had just lost my best friend to AIDS, and he was around 26 years.
” I have been living with HIV since I was 29.
This year I clocked 47.
” Between 2004 and 2009, I kept quiet about my HIV status because of shame and stigma. Then I realised HIV doesn’t kill, it is the stigma, the shame and discrimination that does.
” Here is 18 years of positivity and many more years to come,
please get tested.
