Allow me to take you back to the year 1998, the year 8 year old me was diagnosed with HIV..... The same year I was struggling with a herpes zoster infection I even lost my eyesight for a while😨On this day I had just left KNH with my parents given very little hope to wait for my 12th birthday which would mean I could get to live a normal life with HIV🙃Growing up with HIV is a struggle kids born with HIV don't get to share a lot, not to talk about what the parents and guardians taking care of them go through. Throughout the years I have experienced different opportunistic infections all of them painful in their own way but God created a fighter in me he has always been determined that I will use my story for his glory 💪🙏so Incase you want to give up just because you tested positive for HIV, remember I have been fighting that tiny virus since I was a child and I refuse to give power to a small virus that cannot speak.
