Prasanna Seth is fundraising for Malaysian AIDS Foundation

Hai, everyone I am Prasanna Seth attached with Malaysian Aids Foundation as a fundraiser. For me fundraising is something new as I have to approach ‘ strangers ‘ because by nature I am not a dare person but for the sake of children and women especially it has changed me. They need help but can’t voice it out by themselves. Very few people who actually care to lend their voice for these people. Not for me as I care for them especially children as they are our next ‘ hope ‘ and generation. That is why I chose this and with this Organization I fight for children and women who are living with HIV. They are being discriminated and face stigma in their daily lives. Here I am to voice out for them to stop stigma and discrimination . We have to remember HIV doesn’t have to stop you living a long life, happy and fulfilling life.They are HUMANS and do have feelings like us. Shall we together stop them from facing stigma and discrimination ??

My Story

HOW DOES PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV ARE BEING TREATED

".HEY HEY guys, People Living With HIV are still human and with feelings yeah, and trust us NO ONE ASKED FOR IT AND NO CHILDREN ASKED TO BE BORN WITH HIV "

a) We are losing our dignity and income just bcoz of HIV VIRUS :

 Saif was diagnosed with HIV virus years ago and has got a nice job to support his family. ( unfortunately did not declared to his Employer ). As years passed by Saif was promoted in his position too and some how or rather he did a mistake by confiding his "problem" to a friend @ Sham. Saif"s employer came to know about this and he was terminated. Why? Employer"s thinking, mindset .. by keeping him Company"s name will be tarnished , embarrassment, HIV can be spread by working together.. n so on. Little did the Employer think what will happen to Saif and why didn"t he declared to them? Trust is gone for Saif and looking for a different job will be difficult (with the current COVID) ) & to support his family and medications he should be taking ... WHY ? WHY can't his Employer talk to him after all he is good in his job n just because of HIV he is being treated in such a manner ? Even we ourselves find difficulties in getting a job just imagine those people!!!

b) Difficult or not given an opportunity to pursue studies at higher level :

Basically i believed all of us are supposed to undergo a medical checkup before reporting to work or even an University. Do u guys believe a HIV student can study peacefully or even can get friends after he or she informed the University administration ? How sure that the news won't leaked out? Not saying that they need to lie on their check up results but to where their future lies if DISCRIMINATION n STIGMA takes place if higher authority can't keep a secret of the students medical results ? Is is wrong if you have to hide certain things in order to gain something good? Well this things still going on not in Malaysia but everywhere. If non HIV students need to get education how about those living with HIV? Aren't they human and need a future ?

c ) Unequal treatment at hospitals

People Living With HIV do face so many types of challenges in terms of education and getting treatment too. Happened if HIV patients don't declare their health condition and if it is find out later , they are being humiliated and wrongly judged and even some Hospital personel ( who are not being educated / trained about HIV ) refused to treat them which is not supposed to happen. Where else this people are being treated equally nice by Doctors and Nurses who are sensitive with their conditions. This is why Doctors & Nurses are being trained and to attend a course by it's name HIV CONNECT. Wonder why this things still happen yeah ?

d) Judgement towards People Living With HIV :

GUYS GUYS why are we looking down on them yeah ? Do u think they asked for it ? Everyone does mistakes in their lives and realised it later & sometimes it's too late and sometimes can be corrected. HIV is just a virus but then the impact and judgemental against them which kills them. Let's say if someone is being diagnosed with cancer why the mindset says that the person did not asked for it and y if some one is diagnosed with HIV the mindset says a lot of things and misjudgement happens ? People living with Hiv are not disgusting , dirty n so on. Do understand their feelings and put ourselves in their shoes.


OK GUYS I AM HERE TO VOICE OUT FOR THEM ... THIS PEOPLE ARE HUMANS N ARE NORMAL LIKE US . THEY NEED TO CARRY ON THEIR LIVE(S) JUST LIKE U N ME. BUT BCOZ OF MISJUDGING, FEELING DISGUSTED, N SO ON MAKES THEM TO FEEL THE DISCRIMINATION AND STIGMA. WHY N WHY ? 

MAYBE WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THEIR SITUATION AND Y DOES IT HAPPEN BUT AT LEAST HAVE THE COURTESY TO FEEL PITY FOR THEM.

ALL THEY NEED IS SOMEONE TO HELP THEM IN TERMS OF TREATING THEM EQUALLY, SUPPORT THEM IN EDUCATION AND A JOB OPPORTUNITY. THEY NEED MEDICATIONS TO TREAT THEIR CONDITIONS JUST LIKE OTHER ILLNESSES.

CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE AND WITHOUT EDUCATION NOTHING HAPPENS AND I BELIEVED NO ONE WANTS TO BE BORN WITH HIV ?

THAT IS WHY I'M GONNA TELL U GUYS THAT HIV AND AIDS ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS :

HIV IS Human Immunodeficiency Virus which attacks the body's immune system. IF HIV is not being treated it can lead to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome ).

How HIV is being transmitted ?

Only 4 ways yeah : ... Unprotected sex ( sex without condoms with an HIV partner )

                                 ... Sharing needles among users (Sharing of needles or injecting equipment contaminated with HIV )

                              Positive Mother to child during pregnancy, during birth and breast feeding.

                                 Blood Transfusion ( transfusion or blood products contaminated with HIV )


HIV is NOT Transmitted Through : Kissing, Sharing food and utensils, Sneezes/ coughs / sweat / tears / urine, caring for someone living with Hiv, contact with intact externalskin such as shaking hands and hugging. Sharing public amenities such as telephones, swimming pools and toilets. Sharing living, working and studying places. Insect or animal bites including mosquitoes.

So guys hopefully my small info helps about the mis info and wrong judgement about People Living With HIV.

if u guys change your mind, do u mind spending the least for them by donating to my link PLEASE.. a little means so much for them .. " if you judge people , you have no time to love them ." - Mother Teresa.
