Hellen Masha, who is married to a pastor, has never thought about living with HIV. Being married to a pastor and spending years in the church made it hard for her to believe that things would ever go wrong.
She always felt sorry for people trying to live with HIV, but when her recently fired housekeeper told her she was HIV-positive after having an affair with her husband, the mother of four felt like the world was coming to an end.
The woman, who has been married for 14 years, says she heard that her husband was sleeping with the housekeeper behind her back, but when she asked him about it, he denied it. But she got pregnant, and the pastor was so angry that he told the wife to get rid of the baby right away, even though the wife wanted to keep the baby because it was a hard time.
She didn't find out until later, when her housekeeper called her to tell her that her husband was the one who made her pregnant. This made it clear to the Pastor's wife why he was so upset when the housekeeper got pregnant.
