Some HIV infected sex workers are reported to be infecting unsuspecting men by cheating them that they are negative.
The sex workers are using test results for friends who are negative as evidence.
This was revealed when a sex worker who tested negative for an HIV test tried to test for the second time using the name for her colleague who is positive.
Manager at Corridors of Hope 3, Martin Bwalya told Breeze News that after the person was identified by the counsellor, she confessed that she was doing it for her friend who was waiting for her at the reception.
Mr. Bwalya says that after being quizzed, the positive sex worker admitted that she was afraid of losing her boyfriend because he demanded to know her status.
Mr. Bwalya however, declined to state how many of such cases Corridors of Hope 3 has handled stating that it was confidential.
He appealed to the general public to be open to their partners and know their status before engaging in sexual relationships to avoid HIV.
