"That's a child not on ARVs".
His muscles had degenerated to such an extent that he could not walk up the stairs. His knees buckled at every step as he was assisted up by, who I presume was, his mother . His gaunt face with those spaced, sunken eyes was frightening to look at. A surge of guilt made me look away. The imbalance of me staring at him through a one way mirror from a distance filled me with shame.
Full-fledged AIDS is a terrible sight to behold. AIDS is children is just devastating. It's just not fair.
