Life is fun and interesting but can only be lived once.
Nelson, a young man from a wealthy family just graduated from medical school in Canada. He is the pride of his family and the dream of everyone within his vicinity.
Coming home was a period of joy after a long period away from Nigeria. He was welcomed by his family and friends. Alot has challenged since you left said Frank to Nelson as he narrated to him all that have happened
Nelson's mum would always tell him: Be mindful of your friends and where you go, this is Nigeria and with a smile, Nelson would respond to her, I will be fine.
Frank is known for his sexual escapades within the neighbourhood. He is often referred to as: the ladies guy and would do anything to have a girl to himself. Since Nelson is back home, he saw this a perfect time to lure Nelson into such act.
It was on a Friday night and Nelson's mum was out of town. Frank insisted that they go clubbing and reluctantly, Nelson agreed. After much intake of alcohol, Nelson became drunk and could no longer control himself.
Sophie, a random girl in the club was given to Nelson for the night. At dawn, Nelson woke up in the arms of Sophie naked. Shocked by this he asked: did we use a condom, no she replied and angrily, he walked out with great fears
Four months later, he started feeling unusual and decided to go for check-up. You are HIV positive said Doctor Chris to Nelson. Nelson could not believe what the doctor said. How come he lamented; it was my first time.
His dreams and aspirations have been shattered. His days are numbered he grumbled in his heart.
HIV is real. Use a condom or better still, abstain from sex and the usage of unsterilised object.
