Joseph Toroge Ngai taking blood from a client attending the Voluntary Counselling and Testing tent set up for World Aids Day in Loliondo, 2006. Joseph is an HIV/AIDS counsellor from nearby Wasso hospital. He talked about his experience as a counsellor. ‘In 2004, when I arrived, there were not many people coming for tests. They thought as a counsellor I would not keep their secret, and they didn’t come to us. Now that has changed. They are trustful and they come.

There are two different reactions when people hear that they have tested positive. Some go away quietly to deal with it. Many become upset. Their first feeling is to be ashamed. They feel that they are sinners. They would not want others to know – not at all. What we tell them is that this is not the end of life. They can still plan for their future. If they are married men, we ask if their wives can be tested. We ask them to use condoms to protect others. We even suggest abstinence as a sure way not to infect others. But even when they are old, I have never come across a man of that kind, who feels he can pursue abstinence. And I’m afraid that among the Maasai, men don’t use condoms. They don’t like them.

We tell them to eat well, and not to do too much heavy work. We tell them that treatment with ARVs is free, if they have a 200 count. But those coming for ARVs are few. And someone who is not strong, and is not well nourished, cannot take ARVs. The drugs are very strong. They can quickly kill someone who is weak.’
