There’s Hope Anew!

There’s hope anew for the PLHA! Hope that was never, ever before; Hope that has withstood the times; Hope that has braved the climes. The stigma is just vanishing; The future is quite promising; It’s no more a scourge of God; It is just another chronic disease, Although a cure isn’t yet in sight. The world is united against HIV/AIDS! There is loving care for the sad victims; There is no more discrimination; Drugs and ARVs have come to rescue; It is no more a ‘melting disease’! So, buck up man, woman and child; A vaccine is in the near offing; Practice safe sex and take safe blood; There is renewed hope for all; There is much life after infection for the PLHA; The retrovirus can’t hoodwink scientists for long!
