A heartbroken woman has taken to social media to narrate how she contracted HIV from her cheating husband.
The mother of one who shared her ordeal in an emotional TikTok video said she decided to get tested due to her husband’s incessant cheating habit, which she kept forgiving him for, and sadly, the results were positive.
She stated that for four years, she had to put up with one cheating scandal after another, until she decided to take another test after delivering their first child.
The woman broke down in tears at one point in the video as she revealed that she never cheated on her husband and that it’s quite sad that she’s in this predicament as a result of his infidelity.
The heartbroken woman said:
“4 yrs I kept on forgiving a cheating husband and it resulted me from taking ARVs for the rest of my life. I was married and faithful to my husband. I got pregnant and went for my first clinic and I tested HIV negative. I willingly went for another test when my baby is 1 yr old and I tested positive,” she wrote.
This is why Nigerian women shouldn’t forgive cheating husbands. I laugh when some married women advice other married not to check their husbands phones because what they don’t know won’t hurt them. This is clearly living in denial.
What you don’t know will hurt you, your health, your body and your mental health when it comes to dealing with cheating husbands. Women should stop having unprotected s€x with husbands who are serial cheats. Married women should stop playing with their health and lives.
“If the cheating partner is hiding things (i.e. deleting texts or emails, not giving you access to their phone or email, not telling you when they last heard from their affair partner, not being honest about where they are or who they are with) then this is a deal-breaker. If there hasn’t been a discussion around privacy versus transparency, it will be very difficult to continue to rebuild trust. Also, refusing to be transparent is a way that the cheating partner is showing they are thinking of themselves and not the wellbeing of their partner.”
