Ghana’s HIV Ambassador, Rev John Azumah set to walk HIV-negative woman down the aisle
On the 30th of this month and the 1st of July, Ghana will witness a historic event as Rev John Kwarshie Johnson Azumah, the country’s leading HIV advocate and Ambassador, is set to marry an HIV negative woman. This will be the first public love affair between individuals with opposite HIV statuses since the discovery of the disease in 1986. Their union is a testament to their commitment to each other and their belief in God’s purpose for their lives.
Rev Azumah and his bride-to-be, Ruby, met a year and a half ago and have since decided to spend their lives together. They have chosen June 30 for their traditional wedding and July 1, Ghana’s Republic Day, for their church wedding. It is interesting to note that July 1, a day when Ghana gained freedom from its colonial masters, holds a special significance for them. Perhaps, it is a divine orchestration, a statement from heaven that Ghana should finally liberate itself from society’s misconception of HIV and live in harmony without stigmatization.
Ruby, a talented seamstress, is a beautiful fair-skinned woman. Their marriage is expected to be a landmark victory in the fight against stigma faced by persons living with HIV. It is estimated that over 50% of HIV patients worldwide are in serodiscordant relationships, where one partner is HIV positive and the other is HIV negative. Rev Azumah and his late wife, Mrs. Lydia Azumah, publicly disclosed their HIV positive status in 2011, and since then, they have been advocates for HIV/AIDS patients and provided support for those affected by the disease.
As Rev John Kwarshie Johnson Azumah and Ruby embark on this extraordinary journey together, we wish them the very best in everything. We stand with the thousands of HIV patients in Ghana and around the world, saying “No to Stigmatization against Persons Living with HIV and AIDS.”
In conclusion, Rev Azumah’s upcoming wedding to Ruby is a significant moment in Ghana’s fight against HIV stigma. Their love and commitment to each other challenge societal misconceptions and pave the way for a more inclusive and compassionate society.
