I am Sophy Mabokela and I am 28 years old. I am living in Leseding section in BelaBela. I came to stay in BelaBela because I was diagnosed with HIV in 1996 and I wanted to know more about HIV and Aids and I was seeking support.
I came to join the support group in 2000 and I was very scared. I thought I was the only one with HIV. The first person I met and spoke to was Cecile and I felt very good. There are people who care for me. My life started changing and I found many friend. My family too took care of me and they are happy because I am looking well again.
The ARVs brought a lot of differences in my life. I am now looking well and I don’t get sick very now and then.
For people in BelaBela I would like to say that they must not hide their relatives when they are sick because there is help. HIV is not a death sentence. One can live long with HIV-Aids.
I am happy that I was trained to help other people who are HIV positive and I receive a lot of information about HIV-Aids

I am Patrick Kutu and I am 22 years old. I live in BelaBela. I came to the Centre because I needed help. I had my blood tested and I was found to be HIV positive. I came in 2004. Since I came here I am living well and happy. I talked with Mr Mabuza who was my counsellor and I felt a lot better after the counselling. I am feeling very good here because I received help.
I started ARV’s some months ago and I feel much better, I am back to life.
I would like to tell everyone that help is here and the treatment is available for all who need it. This organization is helping a lot of people with many different things like Home Based Care, Orphan Care and the treatment of ART
