DAR ES SALAAM, Dec. 6 -- MZEE Shoka tested HIV positive ten years ago.
He recalls humiliation and psychological torture caused by being discriminated against and subjected to stigma by family members and friends who sidelined him after learning he was positive.
He says counseling helped him overcome stress and started using Anti Retroviral Therapy (ART), observed health precautions and has successfully achieved maintaining viral suppression of HIV.
"I lived with stress for too long, was unhappy because of felling ill frequently. However, now I'm enjoying myself, doing a lot for my self and caring for my family including working on a small farm to grow some crops and keeping livestock without any health problem, Shoka said.
