HIV Nigerians Treated Like Dogs

Your colleagues, your landlord and your people stop having anything to do with you. Your family may even build a separate room for you and leave you there to die.

When I went to have my baby I was supposed to have a caesarean section, but the staff refused to do the operation because I was HIV positive.

The folder at the end of my bed was marked "WXYZ" in large letters - a euphemism meaning that you're HIV positive and on your way out.

If a woman talks about a condom people will think she is a prostitute.

If you tell your husband to use a condom he will ask you, "Did I marry you for you to give me an order?"

Without free testing and treatment we have no future and our children have no hope.
Do not let us die like dogs in the streets.
