Sinkie Tested for HIV when Pregnant

[MarrickG]

Happy-go-lucky

I used to be a happy-go-lucky person - hanging out with my friends, eating, chilling out.

I remember the exact moment that changed...

A pregnancy with unusual symptoms

During my pregnancy I kept getting giddy and tired. I couldn't eat or even drink water and got very weak.

At three months, I was treated for dehydration and felt better but it didn't last long. My symptoms came back, and a doctor at the hospital asked if I'd been tested for HIV - I panicked and said yes without knowing if I had. After losing a lot of weight, the doctor told me to retest... a week later the nurse called and said the doctor needed to see me.

Shock and fear

It was hard to take it in when the doctor told me I was positive... I was shocked... speechless... all I could think about was my pregnancy.

What if I died tomorrow - what would happen to my baby? It took me almost two years to accept my disease.

Alone with a new baby

Things were really tough after the birth of my child... no job, no money... it was hard to eat or even buy milk for my baby.

My husband was still in his home country so I had even given birth alone.

Breaking the news

My husband didn't believe my HIV diagnosis at first but when volunteers came to visit, he realised it was true and got scared. He never showed me his fear but I could tell he was afraid.

Shunned by friends

To this day, my family still doesn't know about my virus but my husband and some close friends do.

There are some friends who've shunned me due to my disease.

Treated like a leper

In hospital, the staff treated me like a leper... I was confined and given disposable utensils. The nurses whispered among themselves about my disease.

Tears and friendship

It's too late now but I wish I didn't have this disease... I'd give anything to have more babies and for my husband to love me more.

My whole life has changed. I don't feel normal anymore. My fate still makes me cry everyday.

Even though I find it hard to cope sometimes, I try and support other people with HIV - we all need friends to count on.

Hope for the future

I hope to live to see my kids grow up and get married with a proper home to call their own.

It's hard to think they could be homeless if I die... If I just knew they were going to be ok, I'd be able to live the rest of my life peacefully.

The newspaper never mentioned how she got the virus, from husband? or from where?

or it can be just another fiction time wasting story.

<i>My husband was still in his home country so I had even given birth alone.</i>

IMO, there is a high chance that the foreign husband might be the initial carrier. Why no mention if the husband was tested?

By now, foreigner loving sporns ought to realise many "imports" are really disease-ridden rejects from their respective home countries. A large % of asia-roaming angmos & africunts are HIV carriers dying to spread their gifts from hell.

Many angmo pozers especially come to asia for the cheap sex and relatively inexpensive HIV meds in asia.

In Singapore is better to get cancer than HIV. Sinkies are not receptive to HIV patient but will shower fake love to cancer patient

Could also be a real account. It's just that, media doesn't mention foreigner husband because if he's truly a source of the infection then, open resentment for ftrash might just increase that much more & finally reach critical mass. PAP just dare not go down that road.

So for now, they report that ftrash all smell like roses & poop out cute, not diseased, pink bunnies & not the plaque-bearers who should have been tested before even granting visas like what arsetralia does to most of its migrants.

wahlaneh...
those who are already known HIV positive are given a death sentence already - just waiting for time to die only.
but those who dunnoe they got the virus may 1 day receive a big surprise present.
the HIV virus can lay dormant n very quiet in the human body for up to 10 years then full-blown symptoms showing - by then too late liao.
