”The girls are doing well. I committed myself to take them for HIV testing, most of them have agreed while some are still scared. So far three girls have confided in me that they are positive and I don’t know how many are not telling me yet. I let them be tested alone and I rely on their confidence in me. For those who are positive, we are opening files for them at the comprehensive care center where they will be given drugs. The problem is providing the diet they need which is costly than what we offer. One of the girls who is positive is also pregnant and in bed rest. I am afraid she will lose the baby and lose lots of blood worsening her situation. The best thing is that the girls are not traumatized by the HIV situation because they feel they have undergone worse things. We hope the house is available for us to go in soon. The cases are becoming serious and I feel they can be reduced and save the little ones and younger girls by full time monitoring.”
