I was honored to visit the @UnaidsZ Country Office with @Phenomenayouths as we went to pay a Courtesy visit to the new @UnaidsZ Country Director Mr Issac Ahemesah and discussed matters regarding young people living with HIV.
My little Gabriella tagged along.

You see how my kama family looks very happy, very cutesy and HIV free, it's because I take my ARVs religiously, I am very considerate, very mindful, very demure 😌
Years ago I thought having children while living with HIV is not possible and I could give my child HIV. . When I learnt about U=U 🤸I had hope and oh ya! this is my beautiful baby she is HIV negative

Living with HIV has done a huge number on me when it comes to self doubt. I have lived with a constant companion, always whispering, “Will they accept you?". It creeps in every now and then when good things happen, making me question my worth.

To think that years ago before I knew of U=U and Elimination of Mother to Child Transmission I told myself I wouldn't have a child cause I didn't think it was possible for a +ve mother to have an HIV -ve baby 🥹🥹 anyhu this has been the best one month with my little bestie 🥰
31 years of fabulously hosting HIV.
18 years of being on ARVs.
23 years since my official HIV diagnosis.
I'm still here.
I'm still a beautiful story.
And I refuse to give power to a tiny virus that cannot speak.
I AM GREATER THAN HIV 💪
Goodmorning besties 😍😊

"Zambia is performing very well in terms of HIV testing, treatment and viral load suppression.
But where we are failing is preventing new HIV infections"
- Dr. Tharcisse Barihuta, UNAIDS Zambia Country Director
Having less than 200copies of HIV means there's NO chance of infecting my negative husband. Just got my viral load results & I still have less than 40 copies💃 Always a joy & relief that comes with getting undetectable results. Taking ARVs consistently really does work! U=U
My Husband and I have been living with HIV for more than 16 years. We are undetectable and we have #Zero Chances to reinfect one another. 💪
