Gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi, celebrates 20yrs of living with HIV

Gay Rights Activist, Bisi Alimi marked his 10th year anniversary of living with HIV on Wednesday.

Bisi was the first Nigerian who came out of the closet to openly declare his sexuality on television in 2004 – he was on Funmi Iyanda’s New Dawn talk show on the Nigerian Television Authority where he publicly admitted he was gay and asked for acceptance from the public.

While marking the 20th year of living with the virus, Bisi wrote “20 years ago on this day, I was diagnosed with HIV and my life has never been the same and for this, I will forever be grateful to life and everyone that has been part of my life! Here is to another 20yrs and more “
