Veteran Nollywood actor Hanks Anuku has opened up on how he contracted HIV and infected his wife.
In a recent interview, Hanks Anuku revealed that he spent 6 months in Zambia where he was living life as he wished and had contacted the disease. He disclosed that he slept with several women and didn’t care and even when he returned home, he never bothered to check himself.
“Life in Zambia was heaven on earth because we could enjoy life, moving in all places but I was missing my family. During that time I had several sexual activities and I slept with different women. When I came back home I never took care of the family. I started drinking like a fish and became an irresponsible husband leaving the entire burden to my wife.
I got tested while I was in Zambia after one of my girlfriends advised me about her pregnancy. She had gone for pregnancy tests and during that time she was tested for HIV and the results were shocking, she was positive. She forced me to get tested but I could not come to terms with the results. After I got tested I came back to Zimbabwe and I kept quiet about the issue.

I never told my wife about the issue. I infected her but I regret. I, later on, received some counseling and it went well. During my peak of popularity, I had sex with approximately 80 women, within Harare and Zambia. In 2002 it was so amazing to be on TV. I abused the fame. To make matters worse I lacked counseling and I failed to handle it properly, leaving me in this mud. I am now a born again Christian with UFIC under the guidance of Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa“, Hanks Anuku said.
