Comments on: Dear Counselor, I am a girl in a boarding section. I have small wounds on my private parts. I tried to tell my friends but they just laughed and told me I have AIDS.

The small wounds could even be a result of a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) that can be diagnosed by a medical personnel and treatment given. You should immediately see a medical personnel for help.

It's a sign of being assertive. Now, having wounds around your private parts does not automatically mean that you have HIV/AIDS. The only way you can prove your friends wrong is by you going to the nearest health facility, as soon as possible (ASAP), to seek medical advice. And there you can take a test to know your HIV status. I wish you well. Thank you for opening up; sharing your condition. It’s a sign of being assertive.
