She was just in time for her two-monthly hospital visit. She strolled over to the records department where her hospital card was briefly taken and her folder sent to the doctors’ office thereafter.
She then sat back as she listened to the matron address them “HIV no be death sentence. You fit still live your normal life if you get am. You fit even born as many pikin wey no get the virus; as long as you dey take your medicine everyday.”

   A brief smile graced her lips as she remembered her very first visit to the retroviral clinic seven years ago. She had developed generalized body rashes, chronic diarrhea, and had lost so much weight. She recounted the look of horror on her mother’s face when the doctor announced she was already in stage 3, her repeated suicide attempts, the victimization at school and church.
Yes, she had made mistakes at the peak of youthful exuberance; she had had one night stands without protection, and occasional heroin shots; but she didn’t deserve to be constantly looked down on as one who was “paying for her sins” especially by church folks and women in the neighborhood.


“Number 4!” She was brought back to the present by the nurse who motioned for her to get into the doctor’s office. “I’m honestly impressed with your dedication, Bola. You have done exceptionally well. Your viral load is currently undetectable and your CD4 count is 1350. At this rate you would unlikely transmit the virus to anyone. I’m very happy for you” Doctor Chinyere smiled as she handed her antiretrovirals refill prescription.

She walked down to the pharmacy to get her drugs. She couldn’t wait to share the good news with Eric and her family. She knew she could fight HIV. She had done it! She was a survivor!
