Proliferation: Fun Seeking Men Advised To Confirm HIV Status Of ‘Side Chicks’

Fun-seeking men in Gombe, capital of Gombe State have been advised to confirm the HIV status of the ladies they are having fun with.

The state Commander of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Mohammed Bello Muazu, gave the advice while raising the alarm over proliferation of ladies allegedly infected with HIV/AIDS roaming the streets of Gombe, the capital city, with the sole aim of infecting unsuspecting men.

Muazu warned men who patronise cheap ladies and young girls to be cautious and confirm the HIV status of their “side chicks” in order not to fall victim.

The revelation according to the Commandant, followed the arrest of an 85-year-old man (names withheld) who was said to have lured uncountable number of young girls into sexual intercourse and after examination, was confirmed to be HIV positive including his four wives.

The State Commandant warned members of the public against illicit sexual relationships, adding they must ensure they confirm the status of their sex mates before engaging in any sexual relationship.

“HIV is like a time bomb in Gombe because the prevalence rate is alarmingly high. Many unsuspecting carriers are in their window period, as such, we are warning men to watch out and confirm the HIV status of their ‘Side Chicks’.”

Muhammad Muazu also revealed that the Command faced serious challenges with some NGOs who are backing same-sex relationships and marriage, a situation that had been prevalent in the state and involving many youths below 25 years.
