Positive 07 Sept 2015

Positive
07 Sept 2015

I have a 10year old boy on the pediatric service...he only weighs 15kg (just over 30lbs). You probably can't imagine just how small that is.

On rounds this morning I greeted him in Arabic and he responded and gave me a huge smile. He is pretty sick.
His dad abandoned him and his mom when he was born. His mom is out of money so we gave her beans and rice today and bought his medicine.
Unfortunately his HIV test is positive. I was so hoping to be wrong...
