I provided food and accommodated about 5 women who have become homeless and stopped taking their HIV medication because of description from relative as a result of their HIV status. This is very sad, women are so disrespected, we don't have a voice especially women with low income level. These ladies decided to stop collecting their medication so that they can look for shelter and people will not notice if they are HIV positive. Very very bad. Women we have Right to be free, Right for our health as well.
