Doctors who are living with HIV/AIDS

[Guest guest]

Re:[] Doctors take anti-AIDS drugs, but keep mum

Dear Forum

It is a sorry state of affairs.in fact doctors need to come forward to see a

determined and sincere effort be put in managing positive patients. Positive

doctors should come forward openly to treat fellow sufferers and form their own

organisation to fight for their own rights. I am a surgeon by profession who

turned positive after 5 yrs of practise. I do not practise surgery anymore

instead i have a PLWA group and i have devoted myself totally for the cause of

PLWAs. Being positive helps me treat them better and in a more precise manner.

I know quite a few doctors who are positive and are reluctant to reveal their

status. they continue to be in their own field.i would like positive doctors to

come together.i know we together can do a lot good for the society.

Have guts,faith,determination and sincerity.
