Rinah is the mother of two children (ages 19 & 9) and has been living with HIV for five years.
After
she received her positive result, unexpected health complications quickly
followed and it remains unclear whether they were related to HIV. Once
her immediate health concerns were under control it was time for her to decide
how to move forward.
Before Rinah had an opportunity to disclose
her status to family, a rumor within the community reached her son and
daughter. Devastated, they attempted to end their lives. Thankfully,
Rinah intervened in time and sought medical attention, which saved their lives.
It was at this point Rinah realized she had no choice but to live for her
children.
In
addition to her children's struggle, Rinah was fired from her job at the public
health clinic and firmly believes it was directly related to her status.
She is currently working to fight her discriminate dismissal.
While unemployed, Rinah volunteers with
both Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) and a community group called Takuana Neshome,
which means, "Stand Up and Do Something For Yourself".
Takuana Neshome meets daily to collect
a list from the health clinic of those who test positive and never return for
treatment. List in hand, volunteers go
door to door to provide in-home care, food, support and encouragement to choose
life with treatment.
Rinah’s strength and optimism have made
her an HIV activist and leader within her community. She lives without
shame and her children have grown to be accepting, and supportive. Her son
has even taken it upon himself to volunteer and work as an activist within the
community as well. Rinah has fought through the initial hardship and is
working daily to improve her life and the lives of others affected by
HIV.
"In the beginning, I had no choice but to be strong for my children and now we are able to be strong for each other and our community."
Keep up the good work
