So I met this lady whom I worked for as a gardens Boy. After a while we became so close and she offered that she is going to educate me. At that time I was around 22 years. So there is this day she asked about my life and I was open I wanted help she was in her mid 30’s and she said she was going to educate me if I listen to what she was going to say. She asked me if I could sleep with then she swill be willing to educate me. Because I was very desperate I got myself into it. And that is how I got HIV/AIDs.
