THE NEEDY

I lost my dad due to AIDS. He left four kids but after his burial we were shared among our relatives. I was taken by my aunt in the village. 

I started studying at the nearby primary school. When I reached primary five, I started falling sick every time and my aunt took me for HIV test since Dad had died of AIDS but the results showed that I was HIV positive.

I was very scared because I started thinking of death as per now I am ever sick and I don't have treatment because my aunt is very poor to an extent that she even failed to get transport money to take me to a government hospital.
