Out of the Closet

Redefining and Defying the Epidemic

Describes the authors life as a Christian, how he contracted and was diagnosed with HIV. A brutally honest, sometimes humorous, novelstyle narration of events in his life that led to him contracting the dreaded condition despite his Christian background, how he responded to the diagnosis, dealt with it, and how he lives in continuous victory over the condition. His is a true story of infi delity, intrigue, disillusionment, divine encounters and victorious attitude. You will be inspired to laugh at any life-threatening condition you may face in life. With him you will ride a roller-coaster of temptation to like him, and then hate him, and then hail his resilience. With South Africa holding the title of having the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence in the world, there is still very much denial in the existence, and manageability of the disease. This is an applaud-ably bold step taken by Tlakula, opening doors to our society to face the feared and dreaded disease and adopt a different perspective, approach and overall outlook towards the epidemic. - Dr Q.P.
