Veteran producer Didi has opened up about how he got infected with HIV. The producer this week opened up that he was diagnosed with HIV after a medical checkup.
Apparently, several questions have since been up in the air. Now, the producer has decided to address some of them.
He said that by the time of this revelation, he wasn’t dating anyone. Therefore, he doesn’t think anybody was affected by his revelation.
Besides, he’s not that much of a party animal as he’s always confined to the studio. It was however a relationship that lacked trust between him and his partner that could have led to his infection.
Didi added that he decided to come out because keeping quiet only leads to more stress. But opening up helps to relieve this stress by being honest with oneself and the rest.
On top of that, he has been hearing a lot of youths downplaying HIV/AIDS. His coming out therefore will also help in the sensitization about the existence of the disease which some think doesn’t exist anymore.
Additionally, Didi said that he’s going to take some time off his work and rest.
“I know people are asking themselves a lot of questions such as the people I have been with being affected. But I haven’t been with anyone. I’m not that type of a party animal or bar frequenter. However, if you have a partner with whom you have trust issues; they can mess up and end up infecting you too. My coming out is to be honest with myself and help in the sensitization of HIV/AIDS. I have seen a lot of youths saying that the disease no longer exists.”
Furthermore, the producer said that many people including those in the entertainment industry have shown him incredible support. Besides, he’s going to collaborate on a song with different musicians and producers to increase HIV/AIDS awareness.
