An HIV-positive female who attended the University of Limpopo nursing function has confessed to sleeping with 3 guys without using protection.
This confession was made via the university’s confession Instagram account.
“I slept with 3 guys yesterday at the ULSNA function and I’m HIV positive, slept with them without using a condom, it was so nice but I feel guilty. It ain’t my fault though because we were all drunk. Should I tell them or just keep quiet,” read the confession.
EFFSC UL URGES THE FEMALE TO TELL THE GUYS SHE SLEPT WITH
The confession left many in shock.
Following the popularity of the confession, the EFFSC leadership at the University of Limpopo urges the 3 male students to visit the nearest healthcare center to get treatment of PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis).
“We noticed with concern a screenshot circulating on Whatsapp from [an] Instagram account for confessions_ul.
“We would like to advise our sister to take a conscious decision and inform the 3 guys so that they can take appropriate steps such as taking PEP drugs,” reads the statement from the EFFSC UL.

PEP TO BE TAKEN WITHIN 72 HOURS OF POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO HIV
According to Centers for Disease for Control and Prevention (CDC), PEP is to be taken 72 hours of possible exposure to the disease.
“The sooner you start PEP, the better. Every hour counts. If you’re prescribed PEP, you’ll need to take it daily for 28 days,” according to CDC.
ABOUT PEP
- PEP is given after a possible exposure to HIV.
- PEP is not a substitute for regular use of other HIV prevention.
- PEP is not the right choice for people who may be exposed to HIV frequently.
- If you are at ongoing risk for HIV, such as through repeated exposures to HIV, talk to your health care provider about PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis).
