        You'll be very surprised by how some societies are closed.I think we're much more open especially on the disease front so we don't have many of these prejudices.I had a heated discussion with a learned west african about the existence of HIV/AIDS in his country. 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

        He apparently has 2 masters (which he reminds me of every time)😁 but It's very worrying actually because he is not the only one vakawanda who believe that HIV is just for the southern Africans 🤦‍♂️

        But really? Are we that evil and inconsiderate? Make no sense. I had a classmate with the condition back in school, I don't recall it being an issue or even a thing. She passed on eventually but her life was great. We all loved her.

        I'm stunned! I know several people right here in the UK with sickle cell. It never occurred to me to feel anything other than compassion for their pain flare ups. Nor have I seen anyone else respond negatively. How awful to have to cope with that as well as the illness.
