Nigerian actress Dayo Amusa has publicly addressed recent rumours about her HIV status by sharing the results of her latest screening.
The rumor began when a content creator, Olaoluwa Segun, published a video naming Dayo Amusa among five Nigerian actors allegedly living with HIV.
Dayo Amusa responded via social media, stating the claim is false and malicious.
The actress 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.
