Pavel (the name of the client has been changed) is a resident of the city of Poltava. The man has HIV-positive status. He recently lost a nephew. The feeling of confusion and helplessness led to alcohol dependence and negated the motivation to continue treatment.
Everything changed after the meeting of the husband with the social worker of CO “Light of Hope” Daria Koretska.
The specialist provided Paul with psychosocial support, advice on the characteristics of the disease, the importance of a healthy lifestyle and the need to take antiretroviral drugs.
Thanks to the help of Daria, Pavel took part in the program component “Formation of commitment to HIV treatment and maintenance under medical supervision”. He was examined by an infectious disease doctor and a phthisiatrician, and also underwent all necessary examinations and passed a series of tests.
At the moment, the man feels better, stably takes antiretroviral drugs, is motivated to pass all the necessary examinations on time and dreams of creating his own happy family!
