Rose Mpahlwa

We interviewed Rose Mpahlwa. Rose works at the Du Noon clinic. She does home visits to assess the social and health status of HIV patients awaiting anti-retroviral treatment. She also works with TB care and says she is grateful doing this work, as she always wanted to be a nurse. She also runs a support group for parents of HIV positive children. She says the biggest challenge surrounding HIV is the failure of people to disclose their status.

“If women disclose, men abuse, if men disclose, the women leave”

Rose says women were blessed when they are born because they produce children and are responsible for the home, the community and even the world.
