A 20-year-old girl has told a heartbreaking story of how she contracted HIV.

The young lady known as Akosua (not her real name) in JoyNews’ Hotline Documentary said she had unprotected sex with a man twice her age after he promised to pay her registration fee to resit her West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) final exams after she failed two core subjects in her first sitting.

“Later on he invited me to his house, I went to his house, I did not know what came and we had sexual intercourse,” Akosua recounted.

She is now one of the over 335,000 people living with the virus in Ghana.
