On November 6, 2019, popular radio host Kamene Goro posted her HIV test results on social media, revealing she was HIV negative.
Her decision to publicly share her test results was met with both praise and criticism from fans and the public.
Some commended her for raising awareness about HIV and encouraging others to get tested, while others questioned her motives, suggesting she would not have done the same if the test results were not favorable.
Kamene responded to the criticism, stating, "I must be living in one of the most highly educated ignorant societies in the whole world. We are well-educated guys and that is not even the heart of the matter, getting tested, knowing where you stand. We cannot afford to be that shallow-minded, we can not afford that shallow thinking. Have you gotten you're tested? That's the most important part,"
Her decision to publicly share her HIV status comes months after she revealed she had slept with close to 27 men, a revelation that sparked backlash from fans and the public.
