Letter to President of all the French. Including the HIV Infected.
Mr President,
I believe you like the epistolary style.
Please allow me to send you this letter, Mr President, President of all the French, including the HIV infected. Today I feel a little left out. And yet it is the World Aids Prevention Day. A day of mobilization and of action. A day of fighting. A day of anger. But also a day of sadness. What else can one feel when one thinks of the 5700 lives Aids will be claiming today?
I would not like you to think that I am a somewhat insolent moaner - it is the season of confrontations - but I also have some demands. To be heard I cannot go on strike - stop treatment ? That would be suicidal and I who have been HIV positive for the past 20 years keep repeating that Aids is an obstinately lethal disease.
