Doreen Moraa Moracha, a Kenyan lady who has been living with HIV since 1992, the year she was born, is celebrating 28 years of living with the virus.

Doreen took to her social media page to share photos of herself with the words ;

“Living with HIV since 1992(the year I was born) Been on ARVs since 2005. Tested and officially Diagnosed on my 8th birthday 20 years ago. I AM GREATER THAN HIV. I AM A BEAUTIFUL STORY

“28 years ago, the Moracha family was blessed with a baby girl, her name Doreen Moraa Moracha. 8 years later she was diagnosed with HIV. There were no ARVs and no hope that she would live to see her 28th birthday today I celebrate LIFE because I AM GREATER THAN HIV and a fabulous host to a tiny guest. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME”

 

I am not HIV,I am living with HIV
I am not the virus,I’m just hosting the virus
I don’t let my HIV status define me,I define it
I AM A BEAUTIFUL STORY
I AM GREATER THAN HIV
And one day I want someone to look at me and say “Because of you,I did not give up”
