On October 3, 2019, Ugandan woman Hamah Nsubuga shared a powerful message about her journey with HIV/AIDS.
After being diagnosed with the virus, Hamah's health improved significantly, and she looked radiant.
She has since used her social media platforms to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and combat stigma surrounding the disease.
In a recent post, Hamah emphasized the importance of taking medication seriously, stating that many HIV patients die due to neglecting their treatment.
"When you accept your status and take your medicine in time, you only receive positive results, you look good and stress-free," Hamah said. "The only problem why the rate of HIV is at high now is because people who are infected don't want to take medicine, they only think of revenging by infecting innocent people. Their motto is 'I won't die alone.'" "If those who are infected accept to go for treatment, HIV will be no more because people who are on treatment have a low chance of spreading the virus compared to those who are not on treatment," Hamah added. "So protect your life, HIV is real. I know you may say Hamah is positive, but she is looking good. Yes, I look good, but it takes a lot. This life of positivity is not easy," she concluded.
Hamah, who was infected by her ex-lover, revealed her status publicly to encourage others living with HIV and those in denial not to give up and take their medication.
