Doreen was born by a discordant parent; her father is negative while her mother is HIV positive but they have chosen to live together like that.
Doreen shared that being the first of four children, she was born positive but her other siblings are all negative and she has been able to cope with the stigma of HIV all her life.
She wrote on her Facebook page that Doctors told her parents that she had just 4 years to live when she was first diagnosed with the virus at 8 years.
Doreen shared that she is still alive after 18 years, here is what she wrote:
“still here going strong dealing with self-stigma, societal stigma, discrimination and rejection but still standing strong.”
“Most people fear HIV because they know it is a death sentence. Well, I’m here to prove you wrong. I’ve been living positively for 26 years so if it was a death sentence shouldn’t I be dead already?”
“People say I make HIV look easy but it is easy I am not ready to give a small virus power over my life I accepted my status and every day I declare that I am greater than HIV.”
