Mbunge nchini Uingereza atangaza kuwa anaishi na virusi vya UKIMWI ‘nimejificha kwa miaka 10’
Mbunge wa Chama cha Leba cha nchini Uingereza, Lloyd Russell-Moyle ametangaza hadharani kuwa anaishi na virusi vya UKIMWI.
Moyle alitoa taarifa hizo jana Novemba 29, 2018 bungeni kwenye hotuba yake iliyokuwa yenye hisia nzito kuhusu Ugonjwa wa Ukimwi.
“Ninakaribia miaka 10 sasa tangu nipimwe na nikutwe na virusi vya UKIMWI nikiwa na miaka 22, lakini kwa kipindi chote nimekuwa msiri kuweka wazi afya yangu na kujikubali. Nimeumia sana hadi kufikia maamuzi haya ya kutangaza hadharani, kwa miaka yote nimekuwa najiona kichwa kizito kinachoshindwa kuchukua maamuzi hata pale nilipofanyiwa ushauri na watalaamu,“amesema Moyle.
Kwa siku ya jana, Baraza la Wawakilishi au Bunge nchini humo lilikuwa na mjadala mzito kuhusu kudhibiti ongezeko la wagonjwa wa Ukimwi duniani, hii katika kuelekea siku ya Ukimwi duniani hapo Desemba 1, 2018.

Today @Lloyd_rm made history by being the first MP to speak in the House of Commons about being HIV positive. His bravery and hope will help to raise awareness and tackle stigma, and inspire people across our country and around the world. https://t.co/ODZUvYjfWT

I pay tribute to the dignity showed by friend Lloyd Russell-Moyle in sharing his experience being diagnosed as HIV+ to the House of Commons today. I stand with Lloyd and all those around the world with HIV to end the stigma & ensure access to effective treatment. Solidarity.
