The painful wounds of HIV(By Atim monica
I believe all would agree with me the damage that has been caused by this unpredictable disease. It’s actually sad that it has come to stay, it does not look like it’s about to go any where a tall. Being victim this circumstance, I sometimes feel that life is so meaningless, because if I look back at the kind of life we have had since our parents died, it’s really hard to see anything good in this world! This does not only apply to me it’s almost throughout Africa.
Many children are facing this situation: well, what still looks like mystery to me is, whether this is an ailment for punishment from above or it’s a man made one as others say or it’s just a natural sickness? But still what I don’t understand is why a solution for cure hasn’t been found up to now? This then makes me think that, this thing was made to clear some race of people! For may be particular reason.
However, this seems to be irreversible, but with it now a lot can be done to minimize its spread and much more care for those already having it. Here in Uganda, a lot of praises has been given to the government for their participation but in it, I still see a lot of loopholes because I don’t know the kind of sensitization given to army men, could this also be an intended situation?
Because for example in the north, most of these officers are sick and they have infected most of the girls around the camps! They do have the money and looking at the financial situation in these camps, girls run to them as their greener pastures, and you find that nobody at all cares about the out come of unsafe sex.
And for the children who are orphans as a result of HIV, nothing much is being done and so many are left to become street children and the so called government has turned a deaf ear to set up homes that can absorb such children. Even the NGOs who are said to be doing something, just take very few of them. Can’t some body come out more especially to set up homes for such children? So that they can again have a loving environments to grow up?
