"She did the tests on February 6. On February 14, she was called by the suspect to go pick her results. The results indicated that she was HIV positive, which she disputed. She did another test at another facility and results came out negative," Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire told the Daily Monitor on Sunday.
