In Sickness And Health

_

I had a talk with my auntie, she's the wife of my uncle and they have a 8 year old daughter. My auntie and my uncle have been trying to have another baby for the last couple of years, as they want to make their family bigger. So, I was asking her: "How is the attempt to have a new baby going?"

Then she began her story...


My uncle has diabetes and lately his condition is not good, as he's been so tired with his work. My auntie told me that they have a little difficulty with their attempt to have a baby,  because as my uncle has diabetes, his sperm quality is decreasing, especially when his sugar content is high. This was also the reason for my auntie’s misscarriage a few years ago, as the fetus didn't develop properly. The only way to successfully have a good sperm count id for my uncle to have a normal sugar content. And as a good wife, my auntie has been giving support and encouragement to her husband. I can't help but thinking that my uncle’s condition is almost comparable as for people with HIV: they both need support and courage from their loved ones. Quoting my auntie: "Because now that we're husband and wife, we promised to love each other in sickness and health." 


I hope that this story can inspire many people out there, so there will be no more stigma and discrimination towards people with HIV. Don't forget to check our Facebook page and Twitter for more inspiring and interesting stories!
