A Senior Medical Doctor at Zambia’s biggest Hospital, UTH, says Boxer Esther Phiri who was wrongly diagnosed of being HIV positive should take legal action, reports Zambian Eye’s Owen Miyanza
Esther who was forced to go for early retirement disclosed this week that she was coming back to the ring after she discovered that the HIV test was wrong.
Dr. Mulindi Mwanahamuntu, a senior Medical doctor observes that the matter is serious as it affects Esther’s job and also the confidence people will have on the tests.
“There is an issue of her job here. There is a medical issue also of obligation to release authenticated results by medical personnel,” Dr Mwanahamuntu popularly known as Dr. Mwanas told Zambian Eye.
“HIV test results have had many years of existence of western blot, a confirmatory test that ensures that hospitals neither cause indirect injury or direct injury leading to blood transfusion of infected blood,” he explained. “If she questions the practice that lead to numerous FALSE tests that legitimacy re assures public belief in the medical system.”
Dr. Mwanahamuntu says the Boxer has a course to take legal action.
“Ester Phiri has a course to sue starting with a complaint at HPCZ if some one deliberately played with her carrier or even unintentionally used expired test kit or reagents. Whichever was, even if she doesn’t want to get rich in this way, to correct this situation will be to human service,” a Medical Doctor told Zambian Eye today, May 3, 2014.

-Never face facts; if you do you’ll never get up in the morning.
-It is never too late to be who you might have been.
-I would like to take you seriously, but to do so would be an affront to your intelligence.
-The attempt to combine wisdom and power has only rarely been successful and then only for a short while.
-Life is simple, it’s just not easy.
-Successful people are not gifted; they just work hard, than succeed on purpose.
-Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
Esther do not rush to sue any one let it pass or else ………………..Filll in the blanks
IAM SURE THERE ARE MANY WHO HAVE BEEN WRONGLY DIAGONISED; SOME DOCTORS ARE ARE DEVILS WORKSHOPS;ASSIGNED TO STEAL, DESTROY AND KILL LIVES AND CAREERS.
If she fails to sue then she should be sued for defaming the profession.
she was just stupid ,not serious & foolish herself by NOT asking to physically see her test results in the first place.
AM SURE WITH WILLIE NSANDA BY HER SIDE SHE WILL SUE FOR SURE.
She will definitely loose the case. As tests were done in different places
Why Sue? Exposing her ignorance to the whole world?
If I were her I would keep quite enjoy my private life in retirement
The situation is like this: she did 2 tests and these 2 are giving us contradictory results. So we do not note which one is correct,there, too early to say whether she is + or -. A confirmatory test (not ELISA) is needed before people can even think of suing.
Come on! Are you sooooo dull & can’t read?
She said she tested positive x 2 before & after the fight Mwanba told her to go back to the hospital and again she was told she was positive. That was in 2012.
Why has she waited for 2 years to do a retest? Are you that stupid as not to read between the lines
Herbal remedies combined with ARVs take about 1-2 years to wipe out the HIV from you blood system to undetectable levels and it’s possible to text -ve
After 2 years she has tested -ve 4 times!
Just becuase Eshter Phiri has bee taking ARVs for a while and her her CD4 count seems to be normal that she thinks she not HIV positive does not mean what she thinks.
She must just wait, go back into the ring and see when she goes PWETE PWETE TE TE TEEEEEE in the ring.
Why make such an inhumane comment about someone.
Sadists do enjoy seeing other people suffer. Sadism is a mental illness that cant be cured. Psychiatrists have tried for ages and failed to solve the problem.
only God cured her,let her trust God not people..!!!
