It is very exciting for me to join the Pulsewire community.I am a Kenyan woman who is HIV+ and has actually entered the full blown stage.I am on ARVs and has improved greatly.However the side effects of the generic drugs i take are pulling me down. I am sure that, when empowered i can assist my community in many ways,because it is a community where women are looked down upon,openly abused add tradition prevails so the disease is associated with witchcraft. Counselling services are not well done and so the+people,majority of them poor with no food to eat and no hope,die well ahead of 'time'. I am happy to be accepted into this team where i pray that i will be resourceful and get resources. I want to show the world that there can still be hope beyond being positive,and pursue your ambitions. Thank you i am excited to be part of you!
