Another side of the HIV/AIDS problem.

Victor sent me this sad story.
Please find Tirupathi Rao who is in the Hospice. He is 41 years, he is suffering with HIV/AIDS and he was admitted in Hospice for opportunistic infections, fever and TB.  He is on ART in Srikakulam, his village is Ranjam. He weighs only 30 kgs, his CD4 is 20.  (very very low) 

He has 3 children who are teenagers and sadly they have thrown  him out  from his house as they think that if he is at home they can’t get marriages and everybody in village will be looking down at them.  His wife is negative somehow .

All family members are putting him down by words and saying him to die.

He is mentally very upset and he thinks he will die. We are spending time with him and counselling him and providing nutrition food hourly , 

He is slowly picking up and hopefully he will recover. 

Please pray for him
