Nigerian gay right activist and public speaker, Bisi Alimi Celebrates his 18 years with HIV.
He said that he kept quiet for 5 years about his HIV status because he was afraid of the shame and stigma it'll bring to him.
With the HIV test done 18 years ago at the National AIDS conference in Abuja, he walked into a testing booth for the first time and came out with a positive test result.
The 47 years old blog writer who gained international recognition when he became the first Nigerian to come out on television also said two years prior to his knowledge about his HIV status, he lost a friend to AIDS.
He advised everyone to get tested today!
