I was sold to different men when I was a child, and I contracted HIV because of it.
My name is Peace. I grew up with a person I thought was family but what she let happen to me, I got to believe she wasn’t my family! I was 6 years old and this lady maltreated me so bad, to the extent of introducing me to several men 😢. She used to bring different men home purposely to sleep with me! She would tie me on the bed, so I was helpless and could not shout and these gangsters r@ped me one by one in this woman’s sight 😭. This went on until I turned 8. I was so shuttered, I lost myself. I had no feelings anymore, and my emotions didn’t matter to anyone around me. I lost trust in people because even when I tried to speak, I was always intimidated and threatened that I’d be killed.
I knew I had no one to fight for me. I started to only wish death on myself, so I could rest from all these monsters 😭. When I was 7, I started being so sick, almost everyday 😭. My body was stinking, since I was bleeding but whenever I told her I wasn’t well, she would beat me. I closed down my heart. Since then, it has been so hard to show my emotions but I do carry a lot of pain. When I turned 8, I decided to run away from home and I joined the streets because I was so tired of being abused. From all these r@pes, I ended up getting HIV/AIDS 😭😭😭 and this alone makes me numb 😢. I am 20 years old now, and it is so painful to be explaining how you got this disease, and sometimes they don’t believe you. It really hurts so bad, I must need to sit with someone. No talking, just hugging me.
