Living with this ‘thing’ – HIV+ mom of two struggles to make ends meet

“I really don’t know how I get this thing and who give it to me. All I know is that I get it and the man I with don’t have it, so it must be that I get it from somebody else. It is hard sometimes I feel that I would die anytime and leave my children,” she said tearfully.

The ‘thing’ is HIV and for this 22-year-old mother of two hearing that she was positive was almost like a death sentence.

“Now I getting counselling and so but it is still hard and all I keep wondering is if people guh find out and if dem find out wah they would say. You know what it is just living in fear that somebody guh find out you have the virus?” she asked.
