The team and management of Marie Stopes Sierra Leone (MSSL) wishes to respond to concerns from the general public about a document titled 'list-of-girls-with-HIV-1' being circulated on Social Media, which purports to be from MSSL.
The Country Director for MSSL Dr Ufuoma Festus Omo-Obi has responded to this report "This list is a forgery and we condemn its creation and circulation in the strongest possible terms. We view this as a ploy to cause emotional distress to the people named on the list and to damage the reputation of MSSL. We would never circulate, publish, share or disclose the data of our clients in any forum. For the last 30 years' our service delivery has been marked by the highest clinical and ethical standards, including client safety and confidentiality"
