Mmas's decision to finally sign up for the required HIV treatment, although it wasn't an easy on to make (due to the fear of how her environment would react to the finding of her having the disease, because in this society, we find a big stigma surrounding HIV infected people), it was crucial to save her baby's life. Ultimately, it was the reason why her daughter was born HIV free. This only reflects once again the importance of treatment, and taking the measures necessary seriously, not only to be cured, but also to help stop the pandemic and reduce significantly the number of people affected by this disease.
This reminds me of the situation we are living right now. We must take measures and be precautionary in order to not only save our lives but also to have a better future for our sons and the upcoming generations. Covid-19 must be stopped, and we can achieve it by working all together as a community and forgetting about other unsubstantial stuff that's happening around us at the same time. As it once was with AIDS in Botswana, Covid-19 should be our main focus right now.
