As H.I.V. Babies Come of Age, Problems Linger

Summary:What I have read is that this boy had HIV since he was born he has been told that he would die at age 3 then age 6,age 8,age 10 but still alive now at the age of 20 he is the longest living person born with HIV in his state but his life was still a struggle.When little has a toddler he lived at a shelter for people born with HIV has going up he saw others die aids killed his mother and his newborn brother.At the age of 8 his body started to reject the medicine and couldn't walk sometimes he would rage with anger once he even strike his teacher.His classmates treat him like an outcast they don't shake his hand and they don't sit with him at the lunch table even they're parents forbade them to visit he can't even take classes like karate or basketball.


Reaction:I can't believe what I am reading but I'm happy that he was able to survive to now at 20 but how he struggled is just such an impact to my heart of how life went as he grew up.

  1. I find this article intresting it is amaizing to know a person that was born with H.I.V has lived longer than hje was sapouse to and i think it is very unfair for him feeling like an outcast becouse his parents dont let him take karate or eny other things i think he didnt live a fair childhood.
