No amount of fasting, prayer can cure HIV - Bisi Alimi declares

Nigerian gay rights activist and public speaker, Bisi Alimi has stated that no matter how much one prays or fasts, they cannot cure the HIV virus from their system once they contract it.

Alimi who has been living well with the virus, advised those with the virus to also continue to live their happy and purposeful lives.

He also urged them to exercise regularly and take their medications.

Alimi wrote: “If you are HIV+, no amount of prayers and fasting will cure you. Take your medication, exercise, think positively and live a happy life. There is no healing in faith.

“Your viral load will only come down if you adhere and not by how days you pray or fast.

“If your viral load is taking long to come down, talk to your healthcare provider about it and be very honest about the lifestyle choices you have.

“Don’t mind the idiots laughing cos you are positive; at least you know. Many of them hide under their clothes, their greatest shame. Turn their stigma into your crown of glory”.
