Yinka Jegede-Ekpe

Created by Mujinga (talk). Self-nominated at 10:12, 10 May 2020 (UTC).

  • Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.

Yes many HIV-negative babies are born to HIV-positive women, but the proposed hookiness here is that Yinka Jegede-Ekpe was the first woman in Nigeria to publicly announce her HIV-positive status and then experienced a lot of discrimination (head of medical school told her to stop studying, school locked her out of bathroom, choir didn't want to sing with her any more etc), so then her giving birth to a HIV-negative baby is the hopefully happy ending to a tough story. I've edited the page a bit to reflect this and made a new hook (ALT2) hope it helps. Or ALT3 is another suggestion.Mujinga (talk) 21:48, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

I would also disagree that the original hooks were uninteresting. I'm not sure that the general public would be aware that that can occur. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 15:32, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for explaining this, Mujinga! I was previously unaware of most of this; the situation is quite interesting. I like ALT3 and maybe ALT4 as they convey this situation most directly. —Shrinkydinks (talk) 16:43, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
