Though there are so many reasons why more men than women are dying from HIV/AIDS, I will only sample a few.

Men are expected to be strong, that is why when a boy is crying he is usually told “Men don’t cry!” Women on the other hand, are emotional; they cry, though this does not mean they are weak!
Personally, when I tested positive, I never kept my status to myself, no! I shared my status with my family, friends and of course to the man who won my heart! Most men, not all, will never ever share their HIV status with anyone. If he is single, he will keep it to himself and go on and marry a very cute girl and even get children. Several years in marriage, he starts ailing and doesn’t tell the wife. The wife when she realizes she is infected, she consults the mother, sister or even a friend. Through sharing she gets to know more about HIV, she gets the support and health care. A man, on the other hand, since he is supposed to be ‘strong’ and fears stigma keeps every little feeling to himself. He refuses to admit he is sick and even to seek medical attention! And with time he fades……..and goes to the grave!
My brothers, when we acknowledge our sickness and share it with appropriate people it doesn’t mean we are weak. And to us, the people of this universe, let us not knowingly infect others with the virus. Let us know our status and once we know, may we promise ourselves that we are not going to infect others and to re-infect ourselves! Those who have kept the promise, God has continued to provide for them in all ways!
