She has a genuine case. But normally a confirmation test is done in another reference Lab before resulting are issued. Wasn't that done?

I suspect Quality Control mistake in sample collection and something fishy in the communication of the results to the immigration

So she was aware she had 'HIV' but slept with a man raw to get pregnant. Much as I sympathize with her for the error of the lab, she is also a wicked woman. If she had 'HIV' she would have been spreading it.

You have a point but if she was already pregnant when diagnosed, we can’t blame her though. Thanks

HOW MANY OF YOU REALLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE?
It was stated clearly that the "Mallam" was recommended by her family to COUNSEL her when she had the suicidal tendencies or thoughts.
HE, the man (father of her child) was AWARE of her predicament PRIOR to engaging s*xually with her.
How is it suddenly convenient to cast aspersions as though she decided to "spread" the virus?
Fortunately, the negative results prove one thing; she did not have it.
BUT the point here is that this MAN chose to go beyond just talking her out of suicide.

The results from the facility which stated you were positive and the other that said U were negative will both be scrutinized as either can be right or wrong.

SYNLAB might have swapped the results. Results for Patient A who is HIV positive was inadvertently issued to Patient B.

What sort of negligence is this?
Well all legal actions should be followed to serve as notice to other labs. And clinics as well.

Very difficult for her.
She may get something but not 10million (maybe 100,000).
She could have checked with another lab before submitting the test results to the employer.
Very sad.

This is a good case. More or such cases are needed in GH to cause such companies to be serious. Irrespective of having a 'quality control' mishap, is it your duty to communicate someone's +ve HIV status to an immigration authority; NOT even with a caveat???.
The GH courts must be looking at 1 to 2 billion cedis compensation for such cases to make people wake up.

The first report from the casket kit initially tested on , is never the final results of HIV positive, there's the OraQuick too, which is supposed to be rubbed on the gum ,and if that one is also positive,the client is then referred to Korle bu Hospital or any other High Profile
Lab. Facility for a final test .And that's where the result is finally declared as HIV POS. So if you didn't go through this then there's no point in suing the Lab. Centre. They only gave you the results from the very first test, probably. And that popular HIV TEST KITS at the district levels are not 100% reliable

¢10,000 000 is small. Make it $10,000 000!
I wish her well. Whichever legal team is behind her, should make this happen. IF THE GHANA JUDGES NOT RULE SATISFACTORILY, TAKE THE CASE TO THE EUROPEAN COURT OF LAW IN DEN HAAG, NETHERLANDS.
All the best to you, woman.

If your suspended CJ is abusing Ghana laws what do you expect from the lab. False results. Sue sue them for compensation.
