On October 30, 2019, a Nairobi businesswoman shared a shocking story of how she contracted HIV after a one night stand with a stranger.

Naomi Ireri, a 41-year-old woman, revealed in an interview that she discovered she was HIV positive during her fifth month of pregnancy after attending antenatal clinics.

She assumed everything was fine, but the news of her HIV status changed everything.

Naomi recalled that when she shared the news with the stranger, he strongly denied being HIV positive and promised to get tested the next day.

However, when she called him the next day to arrange for the tests, he was unreachable.

Naomi's baby daddy later got tested and his results turned negative, leaving her with more questions than answers.
