Very few people come out to share with the world their HIV status. We prefer keeping it a secret and if necessary, only share our status with very close family members and few friends we trust.
The case is very different with one lady, Doreen Moraa Moracha, who shared her story with a multitude, Facebook users. She has been living with the HIV virus since 1992, the year she was born.
She decided to share her story with the world so that you and I, who believe that having the virus is the end of everything, to know that there is still good life thereafter.
"Today I turn 26.....I don't celebrate birthdays I celebrate life. life of living positively with HIV since 1992 to 2018. 26 years ago I was born to a HIV discordant couple, my mum is positive my dad is negative I'm their third born and my 3 other siblings are very much negative. My parents found out I was positive when I was 8,my doctors said if I reach 13 then I'll be able to grow up a normal child but God wasn't done with me yet he has added me 13 more years and this is just the beginning coz I know God's not done with me yet .I'm open about my HIV status not because of the pity but because one day i want someone to look at me and say "because of you,i did not give up"," read her Facebook post in part.
Lady Moraa concludes that living with HIV is not an easier thing in life but should always remember "You are greater than HIV" .
