Think Positive

15 May 2010 - Still in South Africa and it is impossible not to say something about the HIV/AIDS epidemic here. I read this simple testimony from a gou called Xolani: "After testing positive I locked myself in the room for a whole week. I wanted answers. Why me? I felt like killing myself. I blamed my four previous partners and tried to figure out who could have infected me. On the day of my test result I disclosed it to all of them. I was angry and felt betrayed, but I also blamed myself. I toild my family too, but that was only four years later ...".
