Useless Column with Mawuli ZOBGENU: ‘Use your waist wisely’

Driving and Over-Speeding Concerns

Be careful when driving. Over-speeding may seem fun, but it’s dangerous. The police won’t be there to help if something goes wrong. Your reckless driving can harm your family.

HIV Awareness

Did you hear? About 100,000 people have HIV and don’t know it. Where are these individuals? They should come forward for testing. I wonder how this number was determined without testing everyone.

This news has caused a lot of fear. I’ve been anxious since hearing it this week. Is it “broke” or “broken”? I prefer “broken”; the first sounds odd!

Self-Test Kits Available

Self-test kits are now available for HIV testing. Don’t hesitate; knowing early is crucial. Many of these 100,000 may unknowingly spread the virus.

People are being reckless lately, especially with social media hook-ups. Some men think they’re safe because someone looks good. But sin can lead to serious consequences.

Young Women and Protection

Some young women avoid condoms because they find them uncomfortable. Mavis told me the scent puts her off. Others believe that true intimacy means no protection at all.

Some ladies trust men too easily based on looks alone. They think a healthy appearance means no diseases exist.

Personal Reflections on Past Experiences

I remember a time ten years ago with my ex-side chic. I worried about what could happen during intimate moments. A few minutes of passion can change everything.

The shock of mandatory HIV tests is overwhelming! My blood pressure would skyrocket just thinking about it! Don’t ask if I speak from experience.

Advice on Safe Practices

Do the right thing: wear condoms before engaging in risky behavior! It’s hard to resist temptation, but safety comes first.

Our fears today often stem from our past actions. When asked for an HIV test by a potential employer, I panicked! Memories flooded back from my bachelor days at Tantra.

That room had seen many guests, leaving traces behind on the walls! My landlord called me "pastor" because I didn’t drink alcohol like others did.

Lab Experience and Testing Anxiety

Fast forward to my lab visit for an HIV test before getting hired. The technician made me anxious with his questions! Why must someone accompany me for such a simple test?

The result was sealed in an envelope, requiring counseling first. Many people were waiting nervously in the same area as me.

Whether I opened that envelope or not doesn’t matter now; everyone has some risk of HIV exposure! Go get tested instead of worrying about my status!

If you’re debating whether to use protection, remember those 100,000 people out there! Stay safe and make wise choices!
