Lagos records 9,579 fresh HIV cases in 6 months

About 9,579 persons, of the 616, 318 that attended the HIV Counselling and Testing, HCT, awareness programme from January to June, 2016, have tested positive to HIV.
Dr. Oluseyi Temowo, Chief Executive Officer, Lagos State AIDS Control Agency, LSACA, made this known in Lagos, yesterday.
Temowo spoke at a briefing in Ikeja to mark the 2016 World AIDS Day with the theme Hands Up for HIV Prevention.
The United Nations had, in 1988, declared every December 1 as the World AIDS Day, to honour AIDS victims and focus on issues surrounding HIV/AIDS.
Temowo said that in 2015, 599,560 people were counselled, tested and received results out of which 15,311 people were found to be positive.
The LSACA chief said that 52,803 people living with the virus were currently on antiretrovirals.
He said: “These statistics simply means that there are many more people who are not aware that they have the virus. That is why knowing one’s status is very important.
“It is a common knowledge that an HIV positive person can be symptom free for 10 years and will continue to infect others if not checked and treated. Being HIV positive does not translate to death with appropriate medications.”

While motorists around the world endure the misery of pothole damage, authorities in Japan have given a lesson in efficiency - by fixing a gaping sinkhole in just one week. The huge chasm measured around 30 metres wide and 15 metres deep when the road collapsed last Tuesday. But just seven days later, the road, in the business district of the Japanese city of Fukuoka, has been reopened.

PLEASE, MARRY THE WOMAN WHO LOVES YOU
Because your snoring can be louder than the TV or like a plane flying low

Sometime last year, I travelled to Bénin city for a wedding. I went alone and was prepared to sleep over in a hotel. But at the party I met an old friend who insisted I come over to his room so we could jist, drink and eat. I had already moved into his room before something hit me.
One thing I dread so much is snoring. If I'm on the same bed or same room with you and you snore, I may not sleep till morning. So when night came, I was wondering if this my friend snores. I often think people with pot belly, huge frame are terrible sleepers. I guess snoring has to do with stature sometimes.

Immediately we entered the room, he fell on the bed and in two minutes, he started. Oh my God! it was like a passing trailer! I picked my phone and Google snoring. I read a few things about it: wake the snorer, make him sleep with the sides, etc. Na lie. The more I hit him in his sleep, the more he snores. At about 1am, I had to leave the room for the reception where I dozed till morning.
