Testimony from People Living with HIV AIDS

IND Version  

Some important things we can learn from a real testimony Putu as PLWHA (People Living with HIV AIDS)/ODHA:

1. Every person has a risk for HIV infection, even for those who feel they have not distorted life habits / risk of infection.

2. Transmission can be caused by a nearby person, even a loved one.

3. Vice versa, without realizing it, a person can transmit HIV to their loved ones because they do not realize had been infected with HIV.

4. The initial reaction of people detected with HIV infection often experience shock and could not believe that HIV actually infects.

5. PLWHA need support from family, beloved, and the environment.

6. Support required is often not available because people still think HIV is a disease of the "curse". PLWHA often ostracized socially and spiritually.

7. In Indonesia, discrimination against people living with HIV still occurs more due to ignorance about what HIV is, how it is transmitted, and how to prevent it.

8. Although HIV infection, people living with HIV can live normally. Brothers and sisters living with HIV are eligible to get a fair social interaction.

"You are Putu, instead of his HIV its self

Putu in the past is differently from the current. You are more rigid and stronger, more able to live life with fortitude .... "
