As a counsellor for AIDS Holistics in Port Moresby, I have only come across one fool who was HIV positive.
I was warned before I met him that he was a con-man who bashed his wife. He talked about Positive Living but ignored all the steps to living in this lifestyle. His support for Positive Living was for a free meal ticket.
I once went to a UNDP meeting and the guest speaker was ...... Peter Momo. He stood quietly at the microphone and spoke " I feel so humble standing here to thank UNDP for their wonderful help to me and my family. I am so grateful for all they have done." That speech was worth a year of free luncheons.
There was not a dry eye in the place, What a kind, caring and supportive con-man. He knew how to manipulate people. He cared little for his family and was more interested in going out boozing.

He lived at 3 Angels Care centre until 2005 and was the chief trouble maker. He wanted to hyjack the centre to turn into private accommodation for him and his HIV wantoks.
In the period before the caretaker, the Director had foolishly allowed HIV men and women to stay at the centre.
Some stayed for over a year and regarded the centre as their private accommodation. Food was supplied by AusAID. Women brought men to live with them and called them husbands.
These couples maintained their stay with violence, threatening the caretaker on his arrival. He was told he could only speak to the women through the husbands. 3 Angels Care was off the rails.

Peter Momo chain smoked and lived as a drunk. The verandah of 3 Angels Care was always covered in his empty beer bottles. As care taker, I would try to get him to obey the care centre rules but he only screamed and abused. He would drink and smoke as he pleased. It is my body, arsehole.
He worked for UNDP promoting .... wait for it ..... Positive Living. He spent his pay only on booze. One night he was leaving 3 Angels Care for a night of boozing. He lived with free accommodation and food at 3 Angels Care. His UNDP pay was spent on booze. Great life.
His wife demanded money from his pay. He bashed her to the ground and kicked her in the head in front of my daughters. He walked out with his wife bleeding from nose and mouth and lying on the ground.

He abused his own family of brothers who had each looked after him but kicked him out because of drunken abuse of their family.
There is no value in live-in HIV care centres in any country. It will encourage bullying, violence and prostitution. This man worked with a violent HIV woman who occupied one room and over-stayed by force. She ruled the centre with a long bladed knife.
People infected with HIV may live for several years with no symptoms. If they are loving helpful family members, there may well be no stigma and discrimination in their family.
They will go on supporting and supported by the family. It is the violent trouble-making sexually active drunks who may be rejected by family. Then they will punish their family by announcing to the media that they were rejected by family. Momo did that.

Once he showed his contempt for Positive Living by dropping his trousers and baring his backside. That is what I think of Positive Living white man.
Now he is dead. The beer, cigarettes and rubbish food finally took its toll. I am told he was taking the second line of drugs as he defaulted on the first line.
This man was a fool. He cut his life short by ignoring the facts about living with HIV/AIDS. He has left an HIV positive wife. He left an example to others not to follow. There can be no respect for the dead who do not deserve praise.
Postscript: Some 3 months after the caretaker arrived, the centre was closed with all evicted and the building sold. One of the drunken so-called husbands had an argument with his live-in HIV girlfriend who locked him out of her room.
He took an axe and smashed the door down. Peter Momo and the other HIV criminals threatened the owner that the centre would be burned down if they were evicted. So much for helping people with HIV infection.
Criminals are criminals regardless of HIV status. So much for promoting Positive Living.
