Uganda: ARVs bring sex back into marriages
Fatuma and Hamidu Kamugisha met 12 years ago as hotel employees in Tanzania's Victoria Lake-side town of Mwanza and sparks flew. The couple hooked up, married and then returned to Hamidu's native Uganda where they had four children.
Almost ten years later, however, Hamidu fell seriously ill and tested positive for HIV, although Fatuma tested negative for the disease.
"We had a very healthy sex life before I got TB," Hamidu told IRIN/PlusNews in the tiny one-room home he shares with his wife and children in the shanty town of Giza Giza in the Ugandan capital, Kampala. "In fact, just three days before I was taken ill with TB [tuberculosis] and hospitalised, we had made love."
