The complainant said his wife was always falling sick, a condition that compelled him to take her to several hospitals for test where she was found to be HIV-positive.<\/p>\n<p>He said when he found that she was HIV-positive he instructed his lawyer to write her and his church. Dodo told the court his wife later packed out of their matrimonial home in Masaka and went to live on her own at Auta Balaifi.<\/p>\n<p>In her response the woman, who was not represented by a counsel, admitted that the HIV test results tendered by her husband were genuine.<\/p>\n<p>Counsel to the complainant, Mr Elisah Onaji, therefore urged the court to adjourn the case to another date.
