Xa ndafunyaniswa ukuba ndinesifo se-hepatitis C ngo-2005, ndandingazi ukuba ndilindele ntoni.

Umama wayesandula ukufumanisa ukuba unesi sifo, yaye ndandimbukele njengoko esiya esiba mandundu ngokukhawuleza kwesi sifo. Usweleke kwiingxaki zosulelo lwe-hepatitis C ngo-2006.

Ngaphambi kokuba umama asweleke, wathatha isandla sam, wathi kuye ngomsindo, “Kimberly Ann, kufuneka uyenze le nto sthandwa sam. Ngaphandle kokulwa! ”

Kwaye yile nto kanye endiyenzileyo. Ndiqale isiseko kwimemori kamama, kwaye ndafunda ukujongana neengcinga ezimbi ezazikhathaza ingqondo yam.

Nazi ezinye zezinto “endandiza kuzifumana” emva kokufunyaniswa kwesifo sokudumba kwesibindi, nokuba ndazilawula njani ezi ngcinga zimbi.

Ihlazo kwangoko lafika kum. Ekuqaleni, bendingafuni mntu owaziyo ukuba ndinentsholongwane ye-hepatitis C.

Ndikubonile ukwaliwa kunye nokuphendula okungalunganga kwabantu ababemazi umama wam emva kokufunda ukuba wayenako. Emva kokuxilongwa, ndaqalisa ukuzahlula kubahlobo, kusapho nakwihlabathi.

Imbono yam kwangoko ngobomi yema emva kokuba ndifumene isifo. Andizange ndiphuphe ngekamva. Ukuqonda kwam kwesi sifo kukuba yayisisigwebo sentambo.

Ndatshona kuxinzelelo olumnyama. Khange ndikwazi ukulala kwaye bendisoyika yonke into. Ndinexhala lokudlulisela esi sifo ebantwaneni bam.

Ngalo lonke ixesha ndinempumlo enegazi okanye ndizisika, bendisoyika. Ndiphatha i-Clorox wosula kunye nam kuyo yonke indawo kwaye ndacoca indlu yam nge-bleach. Ngelo xesha, ndandingazi ncam ukuba yayisasazeka njani intsholongwane i-hepatitis C.

Umzi wethu ndawenza indawo engenabungozi. Kwinkqubo, ndazahlukanisa nosapho lwam. Andizange ndenze njalo, kodwa ngenxa yokuba ndandisoyika, ndenza njalo.

Ukufumana ubuso obuqhelekileyo

Bendiya koogqirha bam besibindi ndiye kujonga ubuso obuhleli egumbini lokulinda ndizibuze ukuba ngubani na onesifo sokusha kwesibindi.

Kodwa usulelo lwe-hepatitis C alunazo iimpawu zangaphandle. Abantu abanaye u "X" obomvu emabunzini abo besithi banayo.

Intuthuzelo ilele ngokwazi ukuba awuwedwa. Ukubona okanye ukwazi omnye umntu ophila ne-hepatitis C kusinika ukhuseleko lokuba oko siziva siyinyani.

Kwangelo xesha, ndaye ndazifumana ndingaze ndijonge omnye umntu esitratweni emehlweni. Ndiza kuhlala ndiphepha ukudibana kwamehlo, ndisoyika ukuba banokubona ngam.

Ndiye ndatshintsha kancinci ndaya kuKim onwabileyo ndaya kumntu owayehlala kuloyiko umzuzu ngamnye wosuku. Andikwazi ukuyeka ukucinga ukuba abanye bacinga ntoni ngam.

Ndandisoyika ukuba bazothini abantu. Kubathengi abamalunga ne-50, bendinayo engazange indivumele ndisondele kuye kwakhona.

Ekuqaleni, ndandicaphukile yaye ndandifuna ukumngxolisa ngokuba krwada. Wayengoyena ndandimoyika esidlangalaleni. Le yindlela endandilindele ukuphathwa ngayo ngumntu wonke.

Malunga nonyaka kamva, kwankqonkqozwa kwivenkile yam ndabona le ndoda imi kwikhawuntara yam. Ndaya ezantsi, kwaye ngenxa yesizathu esingaqhelekanga, akazange abuye umva njengamakhulu amaxesha angaphambili.

Ndididekile zizenzo zakhe, ndathi molweni. Wacela ukuba ajikeleze kwelinye icala lekhawuntari.

Undixelele ukuba uneentloni ngesiqu sakhe ngendlela andiphathe ngayo, kwaye wandinika eyona hug. Ufundile ibali lam wenza uphando malunga nesifo sokusha kwesibindi hep C, waya kuzivavanya. Umlindi wasemanzini, wafumanisa ukuba une-hepatitis C ngokunjalo.

Sobabini sasinyembezana kweli nqanaba. Kwiminyaka esithoba kamva, ngoku uphilisiwe kwi-hepatitis C kunye nomnye wabahlobo bam abasenyongweni.

Wonke umntu ufanele unyango lwakhe

Xa ucinga ukuba akukho themba okanye akukho mntu unokuqonda, cinga ngebali elingentla. Uloyiko luyasithintela ekubeni sikwazi ukunika umlo olungileyo.

Andizange ndithembele ekuphumeni ndize ndibeke ubuso bam ngaphandle apho de ndiqale ukufunda konke malunga ne-hepatitis C. Ndidiniwe ukuhamba ndijongise intloko. Bendidiniwe ziintloni.

Ayinamsebenzi indlela osifumene ngayo esi sifo. Yeka ukugxila kuloo nto. Into ebalulekileyo ngoku kukugxila kwinto yokuba esi sisifo esinyangekayo.

Umntu ngamnye ufanelwe yintlonipho kunye nokunyangwa. Joyina amaqela enkxaso kwaye ufunde iincwadi malunga ne-hepatitis C. Yiloo nto indinike amandla kunye namandla okwazi ukuba ndingasoyisa esi sifo.

Ukufunda nje ngomnye umntu ohambe kule ndlela sele uza kuyathuthuzela. Kungenxa yoko le nto ndenza le ndiyenzayo.

Ndindedwa kwidabi lam, kwaye andifuni ukuba abo baphila nesifo sokudumba kwesibindi bazive bebodwa. Ndifuna ukukuxhobisa ukuze uyazi le nto inokubethwa.
