Remember Life can be lives again after diagnosis.
Devastated after my diagnosis in 2003 not having anyone to share my pains with and for fear of stigmatisation I didn't disclose my status to anyone until 2011 when I became confident.
I wasn't ill when I tested positive and started ART in 2014.
The period of my diagnosis and commencement of treatment is ten long years. This is a clear message that HIV is not a death sentence.
I'm fortunate to have this inner strength that kept me from breaking. I willed myself up went back to school and I have settled down with the knowledge that HIV can only kill me if I let it.
