A story of Africa

I am just giving in my story but I do not live in UK. My name is Njomeza and I come from Ugandan but want to share my story with anybody who needs it.

I tested positive in 2003 and now on ARV. In my past life, I lived a very poor boy. I was sent away from my family home after my secondary school coz of a few problems. I tried to stay with other relatives but this didn't work out.

There was nothing I could do. I wanted to commit suicide but it was difficult. I started terrible drinking but still my body was weak for that. I got a woman to stay with so that I could forget other things but she could not stay me reasons that I could even afford to buy her things a woman needs.

I got frustrated. I could cry like a mad man every time I think of my parents, relatives and what I was going through. I moved with all kinds of women I could but at last it was HIV. All in all my problems was family rejection.

At the moment I live with lots of pain, my only success with HIV is when I tested positive I become open. I informed my boss whom I was working with as a security guard and she offered me free treatment for three years.

But what about after three years, which is next year? My advice is, parents should always get other ways of solving problems other than throwing your own kid away and at the same time do not see sex as a solution to problems - better live with problems other than HIV.

I am open and you can use my names coz it is through openness that I was enrolled on ARV and it is the only way to save the world.
