Good day, I am Khadija! I am 32 years old, and I have two wonderful children. In 2016, a tragedy occurred - my husband, having returned from labor migration, suddenly died from an unknown disease. It was a shock for me, and it seemed that the world had lost its light and joy.

 

But fate decided to test me even more. After his death, I was sent for an examination at the AIDS Center, and it turned out that my husband died from HIV and infected me as well. I felt that my life was falling apart, and I had the desire to give up. However, I decided to fight. I began to visit the AIDS Center and talk to peer consultants, who helped me overcome the pain and fear. There I met other women who also lived with HIV. Their stories inspired me and gave me hope for a better future. I became actively involved in training and support groups in public organizations. There I not only gained valuable knowledge about HIV but also found support and understanding. These meetings became a source of strength and inspiration for me. In 2018, I had the opportunity to learn the profession of a tailor thanks to one project. I started studying the world of fashion and creating clothes with great enthusiasm. My perseverance and talent were noticed, and I began to work as a tailor. With each day, I became better and better at my craft. My work was in demand, and I was able to provide a decent future for my family. I became confident and independent. But most importantly - I did not forget to share my experience and inspiration with other women living with HIV. I tell them: ‘Living with HIV is possible! We are no different from other women. We have the strength and potential to be full-fledged members of society. Do not give up, fight and strive for a happy and fulfilling life!’ Today, with a sincere smile on my face, I continue to share my experience and lead my successful sewing business. My success story proves that life with HIV can be full of joy and opportunities.
