DESCRIPTION
HIV/AIDS has been a very personal journey. I should have pursued further studies and continued teaching hematology and blood transfusion in a college but I opted to take a diversion to join the fight. Finding the entry point as a newly born again Christian was challenging. I thank God there was someone to inspire me and provided answers to my deepest questions.
