A Malaysian doctor could tell the diagnosis when a 17-year-old girl explained her symptoms – yellow discharge from her private part.
The test result not only came back positive for one sexually transmitted disease (STD), but also for HIV. The girl was diagnosed with gonorrhea for STD, where yellow discharge is a common occurrence. The doctor was also concerned about the low hemoglobin reading, which may signify that the HIV is progressing to AIDS.

Further tests have been sent for lab reports, and the doctor also learned another shocking revelation – it was not the girl’s first time.
In just a year, the girl has had 15 different sexual partners, which started when she was 16
And here comes the toughest part, which, according to the doctor, is breaking the bad news to her mother, who was also there with her. The woman, however, initially did not believe the diagnosis, claiming that the medical report was nothing but mere slander.
She also threatened the doctor with a lawsuit. The doctor, however, said that he was merely stating based on the medical report.
“She has no idea that the daughter who she was taking care of is harboring a dark secret.”
When asked if the teenager regretted what she did, she reportedly smiled and said no, as revealed in the doctor’s social media post.
“Her answer alone, was more shocking than anything else.”
When asked further, the mother said she had divorced her husband, who was found cheating. Since then, she has to work and become the sole breadwinner at home. The daughter, unfortunately, sought comfort in the wrong way, according to the doctor.
In July last year, it was reported that from 2020 to 2024, over 1,000 university students were diagnosed with HIV, with some of them being only 18. Elsewhere, a 16-year-old boy was diagnosed with an STD after visiting Thailand with his peers, who were said to have encouraged him to “try something new.”
As of 2024, nearly 84,000 Malaysians were diagnosed with the virus, which, at the time of writing, has no cure.
