HIV/AIDs is among the top killer diseases in the world especially Africa. The virus has claimed the lives of many leaving children across the continent orphaned and others infected. HIV/AIDs patients face a lot of challenges such as stigma, discrimination from the public and even at medical facilities etc.

To some, being HIV positive is the end of life but to others this is just a normal disease like any other. They live positively dspite the negativity from the public. A Kenyan man by the name Kimutai Kemboi is among the brave soldiers.

The HIV positive man has never let his status deter him from achieving his dreams.

'With or without HIV, dreams are valid. Therefore, despite being positive, my dreams will always remain, I can still achieve them. I will keep my dreams a live. My dreams, my destiny! I will never let HIV make my eulogy, but instead, build my historic biography of living positively.' 

Kimutai, a positive minded man is never shy of speaking about his status and recently took to social media to share his story in a long tearjerking post that left Kenyans tongues wagging.

Here is what Kimutai Kemboi shared on social media, go through;

"A times I try to figure out what shame is, draw comparison and relations between acts associated with shame but all I find does not substantiate what people say /believe. Many people have a negative view about HIV positive people where they take it as a shameful condition. I strongly condemn the perception and I wish people could view it from a similar point of view as I do.

I don't take HIV as a disease but I see it as a mere infection that can be managed ,only with a positive mind set. Whenever I see myself or any other positive person, I see a responsibility and not a 'sick' person. The big responsibility that the person has is setting a light in the society, talking to people about this infection, HIV. Talking more about HIV brings relief to one's soul where a person easily accepts the condition and move on. Feeling ashamed makes a person guilty, hopeless and thus lead a stressful life hence giving HIV an opportunity to take him /her down.

I have no fear to talk about it, can even print it on my face, because I know am stronger than HIV. As little as it literally is, I take with the same measure in my life. I know it can harm me but I am in a position to manage it, I have no room of giving. I can host it for life but at no point will I give it an opportunity to terrorize my life. It can feed in my tissues but not my soul. It can weaken my immunity, which can be rare, but not my thinking. It can never shame me but instead, I will shame it as I await for a solution to totally get rid of it.

I know people take this issue as a grave matter yet in the real sense it isn't. Am therefore offering myself to instill the the positivity, hope and courage to the affected people using my own life experience. I feel pained when I see people living desperately as though that is the end of life, HIV do not kill unless we give it opportunity to do so. We can live a normal life,even beyond the perceived life expectancy of normal people.

With or without HIV, dreams are valid. Therefore, despite being positive,my dreams will always remain, i can still achieve them. I will keep my dreams a live. My dreams, my destiny!

I will never let HIV make my eulogy, but instead,build my historic biography of living positively."
