For lovers, my husband spread rumors that I had AIDS

Just after class ended, news spread like wildfire—everyone knew I was diagnosed with AIDS. The test results were positive, and I was left speechless. In the span of a single day, I had gone from being a respected teacher to being branded as morally corrupt.

When I sought my husband's help to clear my name, his family mocked me: "Lydia, how can you even show your face outside? Every place you've been needs to be disinfected. No one dares to step there."

"Who knows what you've been up to to catch such a disease? It's disgusting."
