A Nigerian man has confessed to contracting HIV after cheating on his wife.
The man identified as Salisu Ahmed spoke while sharing his experience living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) for 31 years.
Ahmed spoke during a recent interview with reality star Doyin David.
He discussed the stigma he faced, including being denied access to a shared toilet and bathroom, losing his teaching job, and being abandoned by his wife and children.
“I am Salisu Ahmed, I have been living with this virus for 31 years,” he said.
“The first experiment of going outside my matrimonial home is how it happened. It has been proven that about 85 to 90 percent of people living with HIV contracted this thing through sexual intercourse.
“I was denied the use of the bathroom of the compound, I was not allowed to access the toilet, I was formerly a teacher so I was asked honourably to stop coming to the school.
“She packed everything including the children at home, they left me.”
