A Nigerian lady has sparked conversations online after stressing the

importance of health checks in relationships.

In her words: “Please, before you have s£x with that person, go and run tests. Both of you should go and run tests. In short, while you guys are still in the talking stage, pick a hospital that you trust and run tests.”

She revealed how she once insisted on testing during a talking stage, only for the guy to discover he had hepatitis B without knowing.

“This person broke down when he found out because supposedly, the only thing he was scared of was HIV,” she said.

The lady added that infections can last longer than the relationship itself, warning: “The talking stage might last for a week, but that infection will last longer.”

She also pointed out the importance of checking genotype and other health issues early, saying: “Immediately you know, you know where you stand with this person.”

On finances, she didn’t hold back: “If that person cannot afford it, first things first, why are you talking to somebody that cannot afford to run tests on himself?”
