Nigerian actress Dayo Amusa has publicly addressed recent rumors regarding her health, sharing her updated HIV test results to clear the air. The action follows a video by content creator Olaoluwa Segun, who had falsely named Amusa among several actors he alleged were living with HIV.
On her Instagram account, Amusa posted her HIV-negative test result, dated September 15, 2025. Her post was not just a personal clarification but also a public health message. She urged her followers to get tested, emphasizing that knowing one’s status is crucial for early treatment, preventing transmission, improving health outcomes, and reducing stigma.
Her statement, captioned with “TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,” highlighted the importance of testing:
- Allows for early treatment, as soon as possible.
- Helps reduce the spread of HIV within the community.
- Improves health outcomes and prevents the development of serious illnesses.
- Provides peace of mind and a sense of control over one’s health.
- Helps prevent mother-to-child transmission.
- Contributes to greater community awareness and a reduction in stigma.
In a related development, Amusa revealed that she has forgiven Segun, who was detained for two days following his false claim. Amusa explained that her decision to forgive was influenced by learning that Segun had recently lost his mother and by her subsequent interaction with his family. Segun later expressed his gratitude to Amusa, acknowledging the gravity of his actions.
