December 1 is World AIDS Day. In the West African country of Guinea, there are 130,000 people living with HIV (VIH). Even if the treatment conditions for these patients have improved, the need is still enormous. The country's authorities remain extremely dependent on international assistance. For two decades, MSF-Médecins Sans Frontières has been a key player in the African country's fight against AIDS. Guinea's HIV population** continues to improve.
In Guinea, Médières Without Borders (MSF) continues to be a key player in the country's fight against AIDS, according to the French website of Radio France. In this regard, the patient and the doctor were interviewed separately by Matthias Raynal, our French-speaking correspondent in the country's capital, Conakry.
-- An HIV-positive patient in Guinea was interviewed to testify -
Aboubacar, a 44-year-old interviewee, is a patient-expert for Physicians Without Borders (MSF). In the interview, he explained that his role is to help demystify HIV. Where there are wounds, he bears public witness.
The interviewee, Aboubacar, was seropositive in 2008. At the latest, he had difficulty accepting the reality that he had contracted the disease. He was tired of life. He even tried suicide two or three times. Because, the illness caused him to be too tired. But now, his ** measures are good. He has a woman, a daughter, and a normal life. He said his HIV load was almost undetectable. This means that the risk of contagion is zero. Today, he feels good about himself. He has a big appetite, eats a lot, and has a positive attitude towards life.
