Botswana: living with AIDS

Pilot Mathambo shares his story of being HIV positive on Nata Village blog, “The doctor took my blood and I had to wait for 2 weeks to get the results. When the test results returned, I was told to see the social worker. She had no training in dealing with issues like this. She simply said, you can test negative or you can test positive and you are positive! I wanted to jump from a window. I went absolutely
crazy and had to be hospitalized and tranquilized.”
