Have you put up your new year's resolutions? What would they be? How determined are you to achieve them?
The thoughts came in a different dimention and importance yesterday as spoke to 2 person who'd have to have to make their new year's resolutions in a different light.
Yesterday our night clinic resumed after a few weeks break from end-year busy-spell. We got about 16 sex workers to walk in for their STD check-up, and 2 of them were reactive to HIV rapid test.
The first was a FSW who has been in the business for about 5 years, and has got a friend who died from AIDS. She was keeping very quiet when I broke the news to her, I think little did she expect the result to be so. She was keeping quite composed throughout the counseling session, until when she was about to leave, then she broke down and I had to ask a colleague to usher her into another room to talk some more.
The second was not a sex worker, but a boy who has been quite naughty, and he heard of our STD clinic by word of mouth on the street. I first treated his GC and chatting about his ex wife and 5 years old son that he has not seen for a bit while waiting for his result, when it came back also as reactive for HIV. He gave the same classical "shocked" look as the lady earlier, and also was lost for words.
I asked them about their plans, but how can anyone think of anything after such a life-sentence?
Given the same situation, how would you do your resolutions?
