A Nigerian woman has shared anonymously on the microblogging platform X how her husband who has been cheating on her months after their wedding infected her with HIV.

She shared that she was aware he was cheating but he denied it, claiming the lady was a distant relative when she confronted him.

Her post read;

“I got married last year. Before marriage, I was HIV negative and so was my husband. Just somewhere in December, my husband started seeing a young lady of about twenty-four years. He has saved her contact as Karen so I presume that’s her name. I cautioned him about the sort of messages he is exchanging with the lady but he got angry saying, I am reading meanings into the whole thing. He said the girl is a distant relative he met at one of his aunty’s wedding in December and I let it slide. Early February, I figured my husband is having an affair with the lady. I became so angry that I had to involved his mom. After a long disagreement and misunderstanding between us, he said he is letting go of the lady which I believe he probably did. Mid of March, I realized I was pregnant so I visited the hospital and it was confirmed that I was three weeks pregnant. Just this past Monday I went to have some tests and guess what, I was confirmed HIV positive. I doubted the results so I visited another hospital and it showed the same results. I called my husband to come have his own test that instant and yes, he has it. That was when I started weeping and begging him to tell me the truth because just before we got married in November last year, we were both negative. We went to check together Sir. We even knew we will be negative so we didn’t panic. Sir, my husband confessed to me that very moment that it could be the girl because they have had an encounter on a few occasions plus, he didn’t use condoms but pulled out instead. He said she is the only lady he has been with since we got married. Anyway, the girl has told him the truth that she already knew she was HIV positive that’s why she insisted he uses a condom but he refused. Me I have left the marriage.”
