AB I am infected by HIV since February 7, 1990. Before that day I was
living a common life. My partner whom I was living together, also he was
infected and it was revealed him by a clinic exam. He died in February
13, 1993. During all these jears I have gained experience about HIV/AIDS
and I have developed a volunteer work by invitation of Dr. Mario Peixoto
in the Conceicao Hospital at Porto Alegre city. I have been working with
HIV patients in that hospital. They are getting helth treatmen there
during the day period and by night they return to their homes. The
experience of my volunteer working with these people is helping them
with kind, friendship, informations and helping their families. It was
created a group of self-helping like a ONG in partnership with GAPA
(Aids Prevention and Help Group), Prefeitura Municipal de Porto Alegre
(PMPA), and gay community. Now I am working as a volunteer in the PMPA
and Prefeitura Municipal de Sao Lourenco do Sul (Both in the State of
Rio Grande do Sul). I am engaged in wachting and prevention, because of
the large growth of the pandemic. I am trying to inform the population
about the HIV/AIDS risks and consequences. Also, I am working to help
the infected people to have a normal life with the HIV virus. I only
feel that I am HIV infected when I use Zudozovine medicamnet and when I
know a new HIV infected is coming. My life has changed a lot since I
knew a HIV infected, but I am trying to take love and smile to each on
are siffering with this disease, despite my life was not the same since
those February 1990 and 1993. I hope to help this program with my
experiences with prevention group in a large city of South America as
Porto Alegre, for this reason the scholarschip is important, in order to
show our strategies for control and prevention to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
