The Scare 2

All along you have been hearing of the scourge called HIV/AIDS. You were well aware of it. You were not ignorant of it, but it did not bother you for a minute. It can't come to you, you had said to me one day. You had always been straight and careful and I never disputed with you. You also added that you were a voluntary blood donor, a fact which was never hidden from me. So you never cared a hoot about it and lived your life the way you had been living it.

Then you graduated! That day you were ecstatic! Later on, you were called up for the National Service. You were now called a Corper! Nobody cared to know your real name. You were posted far away from home, the first time in your life. You began service to your fatherland still holding to your previous mentality about the opposite sex!

Then one day, your C. L. O. (Corpers' Liason Officer) was announcing that there was this corps member who is conducting HIV test for her fellow corpers, one of which you were. He had said that it is good for you all to know your status in order to protect yourselves. There and then brimming with confidence, you raised your hand that you want to be tested. Nobody except you wanted to be tested! You were so confident that the result would be negative!!!
