My name is Françoise. I thank FWA for its efforts in organizing the discussion groups because it is thanks to them that I feel at ease. Previously I was in isolation; I didn't know I could have children; I didn't want to communicate. But now I participate in different activities that allow me to have money such as small business and also participate in FWA Self-Help groups. In addition, I have two healthy children without HIV even though I and my husband are HIV positive. I thank the FWA service providers very much. It is thanks to them that my children are healthy.
My name is Smith. When I learned that I was HIV positive, I tried to take the retro drugs correctly. But, after few months, I stopped my medication. Afterwards I started having opportunistic infections all the time and it was after taking again the retro drugs that my health improved. I thank the Ntaseka clinic providers who advised me to take again the ARVs treatment and give up taking drugs. Indeed, the drugs had influenced me to abandon ARVs.
My name is Cécile. I appreciate NTASEKA for these sessions. This is not the first time that I have participated in these kinds of sessions but for today it is the first time that I have heard about prenatal examinations one by one and their importance. I realize that it is us who are the sources of the misfortunes that happen when we are pregnant. Many things can be avoided if we do the medical consultation on time and keep appointments as well.
My name is Mariam. I'm glad to learn these things. All my daughters will come for a blood group test and I will in turn educate and give this information to my friends, families and colleagues to have timely medical monitoring during the pregnancy. Sometimes we think that health centers and providers want to eat our money but I understand why you insist. So men are obstacles out of ignorance. Please raise their awareness to them as you often do for us. Thank you Ntaseka for this privilege and these sessions.
