TikToker and HIV awareness advocate Liza Achieng has made a shocking revelation, claiming that some Kenyan women have approached her with disturbing requests to deliberately infect their cheating husbands or boyfriends with HIV as an act of revenge. Poor
Speaking in a series of videos shared on her TikTok account, Liza said she has received numerous direct messages and phone calls from women who obtained her contact information through her social media profiles. According to her, some of the requests have even been accompanied by offers of up to KSh 50,000 in exchange for sleeping with their partners and intentionally transmitting the virus.
The content creator expressed disbelief over the alleged requests, saying she never imagined that anyone would seek to harm another person in such a dangerous way simply because of infidelity.
Liza emphasized that her social media platforms were created to educate the public about HIV, fight stigma surrounding the virus, and encourage people living with HIV to seek treatment and live healthy, fulfilling lives—not to facilitate acts of revenge.
«”By the way, guys, let me tell you something. Some people DM me—they get my number from my bio—and tell me, ‘Liza, I want you to infect someone with HIV. I’ll pay you. Sleep with my boyfriend or my husband and give him HIV. I’ll pay you,'” she claimed.»
She went on to clarify that such requests are not only immoral but also based on misinformation. Liza explained that she has consistently adhered to her HIV treatment and has achieved an undetectable viral load. She noted that people living with HIV who maintain an undetectable viral load through consistent treatment do not sexually transmit the virus to HIV-negative partners—a principle widely summarized as Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U).
Using her own experience as an example, Liza said she has been living with HIV for just over a year and chose to publicly disclose her status to inspire others, encourage HIV testing, promote treatment adherence, and challenge the stigma that still surrounds the virus.
She also urged women dealing with unfaithful partners to leave toxic relationships instead of pursuing revenge that could endanger lives or expose them to legal consequences.
Beyond raising awareness, Liza encouraged people who believe they are at risk of HIV infection to seek preventive services. She highlighted long-acting HIV prevention medication, including the Lenacapavir injection, saying it offers significant protection against HIV when used appropriately.
«”I also want to advise you to go for the Lenacapavir injection. It protects you from getting HIV even if you have s£x with someone who is HIV-positive. You only need two injections a year—the first one, then another after six months. If you’re in Nairobi, go to Mama Lucy Hospital. There are many hospitals offering it. You can DM me, and I’ll tell you where to go,” she said.»
Liza, however, reminded the public that while HIV prevention medication can greatly reduce the risk of contracting HIV, it does not protect against other s£xually transmitted infections. She encouraged regular medical check-ups, safe s£xual practices, and honest communication between partners.
To support her claims about the alleged requests, Liza said she plans to share selected screenshots of the messages she has received while concealing the identities of those involved to protect their privacy.
Her revelations have sparked widespread discussion online, with many social media users expressing shock over the alleged messages, while others praised her for using the incident to educate the public about HIV prevention, treatment, and the importance of making responsible decisions instead of seeking revenge.
