Kenyan woman Choice Kinoti has spoken publicly after being linked to controversial videos recorded by Russian content creator Vladislav Liukov, also known online as Yaytseslav Truhov.
Liukov allegedly used smart glasses to secretly film women in public places such as malls and supermarkets before later recording private encounters in rented apartments without their consent. Short clips were circulated on platforms like TikTok and YouTube, while longer videos were reportedly shared through a monetized Telegram channel.
Choice gained widespread attention after a viral clip showed her asking to be taken to Russia. As online speculation intensified — including rumors about her health — she decided to address the issue directly.
During a livestream with Kenyan content creator Muhia Wa Mwangi, Choice admitted that negative comments had left her feeling anxious. She said the constant questioning of her HIV status made her doubt herself, even though she believed she was fine.
Although visibly nervous at first, Choice chose to take an HIV test on camera to clear the air. She explained that she was doing it for her peace of mind, as well as for her friends, family, and future. She also urged people not to judge others based on assumptions or online rumors.
At the end of the livestream, she shared her test results, confirming that she is HIV negative. She emphasized the importance of not judging people by appearances and expressed relief and renewed confidence after seeing the results.
Her decision to publicly test has sparked conversations about privacy, online harassment, and the importance of regular health check-ups. Many supporters have praised her for confronting the rumors head-on and encouraging responsible health practices.
