Two young men in Koforidua who claim to be serial womanizers say even though HIV/AIDS is increasing, it won’t demoralize them from having fun.
Kwame (not his real name) says he and his friend compete.
According to him, he has slept with about 250 women but his friend has slept with 500.
According to Kwame, he became a serial womanizer after a nurse she took care of while in school, paid her fees and got married to treated him as a nonentity, dragged him to court to seek a divorce, and with connivance with the judge directed him to pay huge alimony for the wife who has packed out of the house.
“I paid her fees, did everything for her but she told me I am dirty illiterate. I have not been in school so I am not at his level. So she maltreated me and dragged me to court to seek Hugh’s compensation from me which I have paid. Since then I decided to have sex for fun. So I sleep with you I leave you, I don’t want any relationship. So I slept with 250 women. For my friend, he has slept with 500 so far “.
A total of 23,495 people in Ghana tested positive for HIV in the first half of this year (January to June).
The figure is two percent of the 948,094 people who undertook HIV testing from January to June 2022, the Programme Manager of the National STIs and HIV/AIDS Control Programme, Dr. Stephen Ayisi Addo said in a report filed by state newspaper, graphic online.
“The figure for this new infection is too high, so we need to intensify education to let people know that HIV is still real; …We have to let people know that they need to stick to the prevention strategies…,” he said
Dr. Ayisi Addo said most of the 23,495 people who tested positive had since been put on HIV treatment.
He attributed the figures to complacency and ignorance explaining that awareness creation on the part of health workers had decreased.
“Some youth today don’t know HIV is there. Some know, but they have assumed that it’s gone. People are now more afraid of COVID-19 and the Marburg fever than they are of AIDS,” he pointed out.
Overall, he said, as of December 2021, the estimated population of HIV-positive persons in the country was 350,000, with only 71 percent being identified by the control program.
Of that number, he noted, over 245,000, representing 99 percent, were on treatment as of June this year.
Back to Kwame, the serial womanizer is aware of the dangers of HIV but says he is HIV-negative and can know if a woman has HIV.
“I can know women who have HIV. Mostly they have vagina wax and other rashes so if I see those things will pretend as if I have an emergency to attend to then leave you”.
