Nigerian actress Dayo Amusa has shared her HIV result on her Instagram page to debunk claims that she has the virus.
This is coming after a content creator, Olaoluwa Segun, published a video naming Dayo Amusa among five Nigerian actors allegedly living with HIV.
Debunking the claim, Amusa in a post on Instagram pointed out that in 2019, she had already publicly shared her HIV-negative test result, as part of a campaign to raise awareness.
She revealed that the post was about encouraging people to know their status, not to signal that she was affected.
Amusa further threatened legal action against the content creator for spreading unverified information.
However, in response to persistent allegations claiming she was HIV positive, the actress released a photo of her test outcome on her instagram page on Tuesday, which confirmed that she is not infected with the virus.
She also encouraged her fans and Nigerians broadly to make HIV testing part of their health routine.
“I still feel the need to encourage individuals to get tested and know their HIV status. It is better to know your status so that you can guide yourself and save others too” she captioned.
