EACC boss Twalib Mbarak has explained how he became HIV positive for a day after taking a Sh700,000 loan in 1987. "I took a loan of Sh700,000 and I had to be subjected to an HIV test with my wife and I can tell you I was HIV positive for one day...and it was bad," he said. Speaking when the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission partnered with saccos on Wednesday, Mbarak said the situation made the two of them to panic. That is why when I see people who are positive I support them and sympathise with them," he said. Noting that those days, there were no ARVs, Mbarak said they waited for the doctor to utter a word from the test that they had done.
