HIV and Me… All in the name of finding a cure what I did.

I only did the test because I was the one assigned to conduct the test for pregnant mothers who came for antenatal clinic. I was an employee to a private lab and the lab work in conjunction with the private hospital. Within a short period I had 28 pregnant women test positive for HIV and the hospital just referred them to a government hospital because that was the only place they could get more information and treatment. Some of these women never come back to the clinic again and some came back with HIV-positive babies. I was so scared and confused then because I truly did not have a cloud what the virus was all about.
