Peter Salama* is still undergoing treatment for syphilis that he contracted in December 2022.
The 51-year-old resident of Kibra, Nairobi tells The Standard that he got infected with the sexually transmitted disease (STD) by his Homa Bay-based lover. Salama, a married man, had travelled to Homa Bay for Christmas festivities and to reunite with his wife, who lives in the county. During his brief stay there, he organised and met his lover at a hotel.
The two engaged in intimacy without protection. Salama said he and his partner only tested for HIV, but not the other sexually transmitted diseases. After two weeks, Salama said he started noticing sores on his manhood. The sores were firm, round and painless.
