A Nigerian man identified as Chika Wonder has revealed that he had unprotected sex with about 400 women after he knew that he had contracted Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
He revealed this at the ‘Doyin’s corner,’ TV show on Saturday, February 1.
Chika stated that he was diagnosed with HIV seven years ago while working at a photography studio in Kano.
He mentioned that he had been involved in multiple sexual relationships from an early age, claiming that he have had sex with over 1,000 women.
Chika acknowledged that he frequently paid women just to have unprotected sex with them, stating that there was no pleasure in protected sex.
He revealed that, before his diagnosis, he would attend churches such as ‘House on the Rock,’ and trick members into thinking he suffered from sicknesses like Asthma, Arthritis and HIV.
Chika stated that he would then use his persuasive speaking skills to earn the trust of church members, who would offer him financial support.
He said, “I got into photography with a renowned photographer in Nigeria.
“And I was posted to Kano. And because I was promiscuous, I started having sex with anybody I saw. It was cheap there.
“I spent five months in Kano and returned to Obalende was my home.
“I was not gaining pleasure from protected sex. I was always paying more for unprotected sex, N700 to have sex and N300 for room.
“I offer to pay N200 more or drink to have unprotected sex. I started falling sick. I started having a fever and diarrhea.
“And at a point, I broke down totally and was admitted to the hospital.
“People that were working with me advised that I go for a test. I was given money and I was directed to the counsellor’s office.
“I did not have a problem with having HIV. When I was lying in church at the time. I will deliberately not take my bath for two months because I wanted to look dirty.
“I was not upset and just said ‘Oh finally.’
“I started feeling upset when the stigmatisation started and on that same day I was sent away from the company.”
Chika stated that after his diagnosis, he continued to have unprotected sex, citing depression and a lack of pleasure from protected sex as the reasons why he continued to do so.
He mentioned that at one point, he tried to take his own life.
Adding that, “I actually continued having sex with people. Most times, because I do not enjoy sex with protection.
“I had more with HIV because I was depressed. I am out here to create awareness for people.
“When you are depressed it kills your conscience. I had sex for seven years unprotected.
“The total number of ladies I have had sex can be a thousand.
“But in those seven years, I could say more than 400. I started having sex very early.
“I attempted suicide and it was carried by all the blogs. And from there my life changed.”
Chika finally stated he found a renewed sense of purpose on Monday, November 25 and started taking his medication.
