“When I met my boyfriend, he showed me love and gave me all the attention that my parents never gave me. That is why I fell for him. My goal was to become a nun but my plans were shuttered when I learnt that I was pregnant in March 2012. I was later forced to get married to the man whom I barely knew.
I learnt of my HIV status when I took my ailing child to clinic. In my mind I thought that everything was okay because this is the only man whom I have ever had an intimate relationship with only for things to change at the clinic. The revelation of being positive coupled with the eventual death of my child sunk me into depression.
I lost focus in life and just hoped that I would die because my husband with whom am now separated with also started abusing me physically. Despite all this I forgave my husband and I have learnt to live with my current status.
Ladies….. Can you do this?
