Dear GhanaWeb,

A week ago, I received news that shattered my world. At the hospital, I was told I had tested positive for HIV.

I broke down in tears. I could not understand how this had happened to me. I have always been careful, and although I know HIV can be transmitted in different ways, I never imagined I would find myself in this position.

The doctor reassured me that testing positive did not automatically mean I was the one who introduced the virus into my marriage.

He advised me to speak with my husband and encourage him to get tested as well.

I wanted to tell him immediately, but fear and suspicion held me back.

That night, while he was asleep, I used his fingerprint to unlock his phone. I stepped outside to go through it without interruption.

What I found broke me even more than my diagnosis.

There were countless messages with women on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. Some he flirted with, others he was sleeping with.

He told each of them different stories, spent large amounts of money, and took them to expensive places. The sheer number of affairs was overwhelming.

But nothing hurt me more than discovering that he had already tested positive for HIV and kept it from me. Hidden behind a password, I found a lab report dated November 28, 2025.

It confirmed he had known for months. He continued sleeping with me, never said a word, and was still involved with numerous other women.

At that moment, everything made sense: the betrayal, the lies, and the complete disregard for my health and my life. When I confronted him at dawn, he was furious that I had taken his phone.

But I laid out everything I had discovered and told him how deeply he had wounded me.

The following day, with the support of my uncle, I reported the matter to the police. He was arrested for knowingly exposing me to HIV without informing me.

Since then, many people have told me I am taking things too personally or going too far. His family is angry and wants me to let it go. But I cannot ignore what he did.

This is not just about infidelity. This is about trust, deception, and a deliberate decision to hide a life-changing diagnosis while continuing to put me at risk.

My heart is heavy, and the past few days have been some of the hardest of my life. Part of me wants to walk away quietly, but another part believes he must face the consequences of his actions.

If someone knowingly infected you, hid the truth, and continued putting your life in danger, would you let it go, or would you fight to hold them accountable? Am I being fair?
