Mozambique

Luísa , 37 years old “I discovered that I had HIV in October 2016. I started ART and in March 2017 I was diagnosed with Kaposi's sarcoma. I was hospitalized at the Maputo Central Hospital for some time until in June I was transferred to the Alto Maé Reference Center to continue with Kaposi's treatment doing chemotherapy.The first chemotherapy session was not easy, but then I got used to it. Now I feel very well. The treatment I am doing here is reacting well in my body. Before it was very bad, my feet were swollen, I did not wear pants or shoes. I am back to my normal life. I have been undergoing treatment for seven months, and I have only two chemotherapy sessions to complete the Kaposi treatment. I would like to call on the health authorities to expand this treatment that we are having here in Alto Maé to other health facilities. ©  MSF
