Women Warns Of How She Caught HIV From One-Night Stand

Naomi Ireri, 41, from Kenya, has spoken out about how she was infected with HIV from a recent one-night-stand. Naomi wishes to use her experience as a driving force to remind people of the risks of getting infected.

Naomi warned of how she had only known the man for a week before they had sex, then he stopped responding to her calls after. She later met another man and it was while she was pregnant with his child that she found out about her infection.

"When I went to do blood tests, the results took longer than I had been told and so I started questioning why my results were taking that long," she stated.

Doctors called her in and asked if she had ever been tested before and that was when they told her she had tested positive for HIV.

He first worry was for the father of her child and whether he had also contracted the disease. However, he tested negative. This was the moment she realised it had been the man whom she had had a one-night stand with, who must have passed on the disease.

Following the results, the father of Naomi’s child ended their relationship but vowed to take care of their child who was yet to be born at the time.
