\nI\u2019m writing this after leaving an appointment with my primary care doctor, and I\u2019m still trying to process what he told me.
\nLast week, my doctor ordered extensive blood work. Among the many tests was HIV. Today, he went through the results with me.
\nEverything came back negative. HIV included. I sat there thinking, Again, God?
\nBecause this isn\u2019t my first negative HIV test. It is probably my fifth over the years. And every time I hear those words, my mind travels back to a chapter of my life that still leaves me speechless.
\nIt started around 2008, when I became involved with a very powerful man. We would remain together for almost a decade. At the beginning, I didn\u2019t know he was living with HIV.
\nAround 2011, while in South Africa, he became extremely ill and nearly died. That was when he finally confessed that he was HIV-positive and that his CD4 count had dropped dangerously low.
\nWhen he told me, I didn\u2019t even question whether I had HIV. In my mind, I had already accepted that I must be positive too. We had been together for years.
\nWhen he returned, we went to Mengo Hospital and tested together.
\nHis result: positive.
\nMine: negative. He couldn\u2019t believe it.
\nSo we went to the Joint Clinical Research Centre and tested again.
\nHe was still positive.
\nI was still negative.<\/p>\n
\nThen he finally said something I have never forgotten.
\nSomething that has stayed with me all these years:
\n\u201cToday I finally understand just how blessed and protected you are. I truly believe AIDS will never be what takes your life; when your time eventually comes, it will be from something else.\u201d Those words stayed with me.
\nBut I would be lying if I said another thought didn\u2019t cross my mind.
\nAfter seeing his reaction, and how difficult it was for him to accept my repeated negative results, I sometimes wondered whether a part of him had expected, or perhaps even wanted, me to be positive too. Maybe because then we would be carrying the same burden together.
\nBut God had written something different.
\nI also realized that underneath his disbelief was fear. He was afraid that now that I knew he was positive and knew that I wasn\u2019t, I would leave him.
\nHe asked me not to.
\nAnd perhaps the biggest shock I gave him wasn\u2019t my negative result.
\nIt was that I stayed.
\nI didn\u2019t abandon him. We continued our relationship.
\nLater, I traveled to South Africa and tested again.
\nNegative.<\/p>\n
\nThen life took me through another difficult chapter\u2014Kigo Prison. The cold conditions were harsh. We could be awakened around 4:00 in the morning and ordered outside in the freezing cold. At one point, I developed severe nosebleeds that continued for three straight days.
\nBefore long, people started whispering.
\nSome assumed it had something to do with HIV. Eventually, one of the prison doctors checked my medical records.
\nNegative. Again.
\nPeople couldn\u2019t believe it.
\nHIV science itself tells us that transmission is not automatic; an HIV-negative partner can remain negative. I don\u2019t dismiss medicine or science.
\nBut when I look at the whole journey of my life, I also see something greater:
\nGod.
\nThe man I loved eventually passed away from complications related to the disease he had lived with. Yet the words he spoke after staring at my negative results stayed with me long after he was gone.
\nHe called me blessed and protected before I fully understood what those words would mean to me.
\nAnd today, many years later, here I am\u2014driving away from my primary care doctor\u2019s appointment in America, hearing those familiar words once again:<\/p>\n
\nSo yes, science can explain risk and transmission.
\nBut my faith explains something science cannot measure: the God I believe has carried me through every chapter.
\nThrough love.
\nThrough fear.
\nThrough South Africa.
\nThrough prison.
\nThrough rumors.
\nThrough loss.
\nThrough things that should have broken me.
\nAnd somehow, I am still here.
\nMaybe that\u2019s why, deep inside, I have always felt there is an anointing over my life. Not because hardship has avoided me, it certainly hasn\u2019t\u2014but because somehow, through situations I thought would destroy me, God kept bringing me through.
\nToday, I don\u2019t need to understand everything.
\nI just know that God has the final word.
\nAnd as I drive home still stunned by today\u2019s results, my heart has only one response:
\nThank You, God. You have been there all along.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
