Issues: when we view the danger against the backdrop of death, we become demoralized and wait for the ultimate end to come,
waiting for death. People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are greatly challenged in every
society; they experience feelings of rejections and isolation, because many people show negative attitudes towards them. Sadly, many people who have already signed their death certificates’ by their families and society.
However, we should remember that people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) have the same right as every one else in our society, therefore they deserve to be treated with respect and fairness, regardless of the route of their infection.dicrimination is a violation of people’s fundamental human right; it may lead to isolation, loss of care, support and love of families and friends. Loss of jobs and financial difficulties.disremination increases the negative impact of the HIV epidemic. The principle of non-discrimination is central to the human rights philosophy and practices and natural justice. All states governments; communities and
individuals have the same responsibilities to respect and ensure human right for all individuals.
Support them by not discriminating them, and we need to change our thinking abilities and help (PLWHA) reduce self-stigma, by helping them fight against the spread of the HIV virus into the society. Show them love at all times. A 1week special program for (PLWHA) was organized and was advertised as a time out for (PLWHA) where some vital issues where discussed.
1. Encouraging them to always disclosed there status to their partners
2. Strees their indispensable roles in the fight against HIV/AIDS
3. Offers opportunities for (PLWHA) to be on radio programs
4. Encouraged them to be free amongst others in the society
Lesson learnt:
1(PLWHA) dislike calling them by their branded names.
2. They are always serious in fighting against the HIV virus
3each time we tell them about hope their perception about life changes for the better
Recommendation:
1facilitators, councelors and religious leaders needs to be educated so that their outreach will do more harm than good.
2. (PLWHA) should undergo good counseling and confidential testing.
3there is a need for the world to have linked to regional responds so to challenge the pandemic
