Seabelo Kgarose is a young mother living with HIV/AIDS. For a while her youngest son, who is also HIV positive, was in a care centre at a local hospital. On one occasion when she and her other two children went to visit him, she was verbally abused by one of the nurses. However, months later, this same nurse turned up at the AIDS counselling centre where Seabelo works seeking counselling and support to come to terms with her HIV positive status. In this audio report, Seabelo tells the story.
