Some Nigerians With HIV Are Being Conned Into Thinking There’s a Cure
When Michael tested positive with HIV in August 2017, he was confused. He didn’t think he could get the virus, since he always used protection. He found out after falling ill and going to the hospital, where he underwent a series of tests.
“I was HIV positive and couldn’t believe it,” Michael told TheBody. (Michael is not his real name.) “I was so confused that I thought I was the only person in the world, alone and looking for ways to not blame myself for my misfortune.”
