Known for playing criminal and daring roles in Nollywood movies, popular actor, Hanks Anuku, has revealed he tested positive for HIV. He reportedly also revealed how he deliberately infected his wife with the deadly disease. PulseNG reports that the actor, now a born-again Christian, based in Ghana, talked in an interview about how he went to Zambia for six months without his wife and two kids, to take part in plays and enjoyed life, sleeping with about 80 women and contacted HIV. Read excerpts from the interview below;

“Life in Zambia was heaven on earth because we could enjoy life, moving in all places but I was missing my family. During that time I had quite a number of sexual activities and I slept with different women. When I came back home I never took care of the family. I started drinking life a fish and became an irresponsible husband leaving the entire burden to my wife,” he said.

The veteran actor also revealed that while knowing he could well be HIV positive, he infected his wife .
“I got tested while I was in Zambia after one of my girlfriends advised me about her pregnancy. She had gone for pregnancy tests and during that time she was tested for HIV and the results was shocking, she was positive. She forced me to get tested but I could not come to terms with the results. After I got tested I came back to Zimbabwe and I kept quiet about the issue. I never told my wife about the issue. I infected her but I regret. I later on received some counselling and it went well,” he explained

“During my peak of popularity I had sex with approximately 80 women, within Harare and Zambia. In 2002 it was so amazing to be on TV. I abused the fame. To make matters worse I lacked counseling and I failed to handle it properly, leaving me in this mud. I am now a born again Christian with UFIC under the guidance of Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa.” he said.
