Abstract
Twelve-year-old Liz, a P5 pupil of Katina Primary School in Soroti district is living with HIV. She looks traumatised as she narrates her experience at school. Her voice trembles while her eyes are full of sadness as she occasionally turns her away from the father to let out a loud sob.
" Whenever other children see me taking ARVs, they say i am going to die. They laugh and shun me saying i may infect them. They even refuse to play, walk or speak to me." Liz says.
