The President and the HIV Test
President Zuma goes from one blunder to the next. Now he’s gone and declared his HIV/Status, supposedly his intention was to encourage people to get tested.
When I heard him on the news say that he was HIV negative, my first thought was disbelief.
Because we all know he knowingly had sex with a woman who is HIV positive.
Other than the fact that the woman did not willingly agree to being intimate with him, the president made matters worse by testifying in court that he hadn’t used a condom, but showered afterwards. Implying it was enough to avoid contracting the disease.
We also know that the president has three current wives and a fiance. And he had an affair with Irvin Khoza’s daugther, resulting in a pregnancy.
While knowing how sexually irresponsible Jacob Zuma is – how can he be the spokesperson for safe sex or anything around HIV/AIDS?
The man has just been lucky that he hasn’t contracted the disease and passed it on to his wives and girlfriends.
Lesson 1 anyone can learn from the Zuma situation is that you can go around and have irresponsible sex, take a shower afterwards and move onto the next woman.
Get tested and continue on your merry way while some other random person can have sex just once and contract the disease.
Lesson 2 we can learn from our President Jacob Zuma my fellow South Africans, is to grow a thick skin. It protects you from political enemies, courts of law, as well as from HIV.
