“HIV Is Like Hypertension” — Prophetess Urges Women to Stay Committed in Their Marriages

A video from the 2025 Annual Women’s Conference hosted by Prophetess Nkem Adu is currently going viral on social media.

During the conference, women were asked a provocative question: “What would you do if you find out your husband has HIV and he wants a male child?”

As attendees shared their opinions, a particular speaker stood out. She advised that women should not leave their husbands because of HIV, explaining that HIV is just like hypertension or diabetes — it doesn’t automatically affect your marriage or prevent you from having children.

She emphasized that with proper care and support, couples can still live fulfilling family lives.

The speaker also highlighted that marriage is about commitment, understanding, and working through challenges together. Her statement sparked mixed reactions online. Some praised her for encouraging women to stay committed, while others debated whether her advice was practical given the health risks involved.

The video has since gone viral, reigniting discussions about marriage, responsibility, and living with HIV, and showing how conversations about health and relationships remain essential in today’s society.
