Email 174: OFW Concerns


Hi Pozzie,

I stumbled on your blog months ago but I just gathered the courage to email you regarding my concerns. I have been diagnosed with HIV in 2010 when I was still in Singapore and went to Thailand after a month to get a second opinion (I was still in denial). Prior to this, in August 2009 I had this skin disease called Herpes Zoster which according to the doctor was caused by my weak immune system. Well to cut short, I took some medication and it went away but I never thought about an HIV carrier until I applied for my working pass in Singapore.
