“My Boyfriend Gave Me HIV And Warned Me To Keep It Secret” – Sarah Shares Her Story

My name is Sarah, and I live in Jinja, Uganda. I never imagined that one day I would tell my story in public, but I believe what I went through can give strength to others who feel trapped, hopeless, or betrayed. Life sometimes brings challenges that seem unbearable, and in my case, the deepest pain came from the man I loved most. My boyfriend, whom I trusted with all my heart, betrayed me in the cruelest way.

We had been together for nearly three years. I loved him deeply, and I believed he loved me too. Like many young women, I dreamed of building a life with him. But everything collapsed the day he admitted that he had been living with HIV and had knowingly passed it on to me.

I cried endlessly and locked myself away in my room, consumed by shame and fear of what people would say if they discovered the truth.TO READ MORE, TAP HERE
