Page 1639: Marco, a 32-year-old man, stated, In 2005 I found out that my mother had died of HIV and it was too late for her to get treatment. So that’s my fear – that I may stay and not tell, and then later, it’s too late for me to get treatment. For Marco, timely diagnosis would enable him to access medical treatment and this prolong his life.
