“I took several drugs to terminate the pregnancy but the foetus did not come and I couldn’t tell my mother for fear of being victimized”.

A confused Ataa stopped seeking ante-natal care until she gave birth to the twins for lack of money because the supposed boyfriend abandoned her.

She has still not told any family member about her status since according to her, the stigma could lead her to her early grave.

One of the twins is dead and Ataa suspect he might have died from the virus. She feared for the other who is also bedridden.
