Hiv Violatons Horror :
  • A young man who raped an HIV- positive woman because he wanted to  know what it felt like to have Aids;
  •  An HIV-positive father who raped  his daughter because he wanted them  to die together;
  •  In two instances, fathers raped  their virgin daughters to be “cured” of  their HIV status;
  • One father was quoted saying: “I  cannot plant a cabbage and then let  somebody else harvest it”. And so he  raped his daughter;
  • A stepfather raped and impregnated his daughter saying it was better if  he gave her the virus rather than the  “dogs out there”; 
  • Women with HIV/Aids have been  locked in shacks by families who fear  they will shame the family as well as to  prevent further transmission;
  • A nurse turned away an HIV-positive mother and a child who needed  treatment, telling her the child would  die in three days anyway;
  • A woman was refused antiretroviral (ARV) medication by a nurse, telling  her to go home and await death; and
  • A patient with Aids was slapped by  a nurse for wetting her bed.
