If you believe in AIDS “risk groups,” Lizé Oosthuizen is the kind of person this isn’t supposed to happen to: a fairly affluent, white South African woman. She received her “HIV” diagnosis in 2005 after her boyfriend, who was ill, tested “positive.” Even though her “numbers” were “good,” she immediately started taking AZT but soon quit and has not touched “anti-retrovirals” (ARVs) since. In her conversation with “How Positive Are You” co-hosts David Crowe and Elizabeth Ely, she describes her health as excellent.
Today, Ms. Oosthuizen and her mother help others live healthy, normal lives and fight this senseless diagnosis and using a dose of common sense. Although she says she has never been seriously ill, she still confronts popular misconceptions about “HIV” in her dating life as a 30-year-old single woman. What is life like for a healthy “HIV-positive” woman inside the supposed “epidemic” going on in South Africa? Does she take any precautions with her health? Listen and find out.
