Man with HIV/AIDS Develops Enlarged Breasts
Dipsubaba's thoughts:
It is bizzare as well as tragic. Imagine a man suffering from HIV/AIDS would also have to face the emotional trauma of social indignity with his breasts starting to develop like that of a woman after taking ART drugs.
He must have cursed himself or the fate for contracting the fatal disease and now he will have to cope with something unusual.
Let's have a thought of the plight of the man, his name rightly not been disclosed by the media. A newspaper report described the insult he was subjected to by security personnel while frisking, making sneering remarks and even molested his breasts.
"Although the weather is simmering with summer heat, I cannot help wearing thick jackets just to cover up my enlarged breasts," he said, adding that he has been staying aloof from all social functions and religious ceremonies for the same embarrassing reason.
It could perhaps also be the first of its kind in the medical history of HIV/AIDS treatment. A study/research on how the unusual growth had taken place and how it could be avoided in future could be a boon to millions of patients suffering from the deadly disease.
But, he should be the ultimate decision maker whether he wants to subject himself to such a study. Because, human dignity is above new scientific achievement; in fact above any other thing in the universe.
