Its was a fateful and sunny afternoon when my phone rang,hurriedly picked the call was Dennis my old time school mate.hello D...as I fondly call him,how are you?wow,it's been a while,I said and we both laughed and recollected all old times memory. Dennis was what I will described as a mischievous person who is always up to something, he was a bull among the boys and that has always gotten him into trouble. One thing I have always cherish about him was the fact that he was intelligent and this has attracted him a lot of attention and popularity amongst us. That very day he called me,he invited me to a birthday party of a close friend of ours Kunle,dressed up and I headed to the venue of the party which was slated for 7pm,on getting there I saw lots of drinks with plenty to eat.The party soon started and a young beautiful lady named Kike walked up to me and we conversed for a while,she strikes me as an innocent lady who hasn't really been exposed to illicit life. We became close and one thing led to the other and we had casual sex without protection, two weeks afterwards I started noticing unusual burning sensation around my genital,frequent running stomach, body itch,so I thought to myself while not go for a check up.lo and behold,my fears were proven beyond reasons, I was diagnosed of HIV/AIDS.immediately I was handed the result, I felt a sudden cold running through my body.tears filled my eyes as I couldn't hold back. Went back home,tried reaching Kike on her cell phone,but to no avail.called both Dennis and Kunle to know if they know her or where she lives but nor of them seen to know of, now I'm stuck to live with this ailment for the rest of my life.
