We worked with HIV/AIDS patients and we carried out various tasks to include; taking surveys, vitals, counselling, home visits & care as well as reviewing the patients condition every 6 months.

It was an honor that people entrusted me with their health problems and allowed me to be part of their lives as they faced the HIV/AIDS journey at times with adverse results say, death.
