Imagine you're just sleeping one morning and text message wakes you up saying;
My girlfriend told me I have HIV, and the fear almost killed me
HIV just because of 10 abi 15 minutes pleasure? Ha! It wasn't funny.
"You need to get yourself tested. Tell any other girl youve been with to get tested too."
You start to think of all the advice your mother gave you.
All the ads talking about wearing raincoat that you ignored. Now your conscience is looking at you like,

You think of the last time you had sex with the girl that just texted you.
Four months ago. Then you start to count all the girls youve slept with after her, as per Yoruba demon. One.. Two.. Three..
So the responsible thing to do is to start calling them one by one to tell them that condom would have been a great idea.
First girl swore for my future.
Second girl said trailer will jam me.

The third one now said my entire family will die in 7 days.
So I finally summoned courage to go for the HIV test.
I got there, the nurse was looking at me as if she has already seen the virus. Time to draw blood, and I was just like,
Next thing is sit and wait for result. Which is for the next one hour.
Then you start to ask yourself life questions like, what will I do with my life?

By the time they come to tell you your results are ready, youre looking like,
You enter the doctors office and he says, "Mr Okoro, the results say that it is negative"
Next thing, you check your phone, and the girl that texted you in the morning has texted again:
"Nevermind the first text. It's nothing serious. I just have a toilet infection."
Anyway, nobody needs to tell me. Im zipping up for a very long time. I cant come and let tension kill me.
