Female medical doctor dies from a cause faster than HIV

Annastasia Ekanem, a female medical doctor attached to a private hospital in Eket Akwa Ibom has been reported dead. Annastasia who only recently tested positive to HIV did not die from this disease but of a different cause. The medical doctor was found dead in her bedroom as she hung from the ceiling leaving behind a suicide note and the burden of her loss.

This story fails to tell us the last time she had her status checked and the result of this test. Health care profeesionals are particulary faced with this kind of problem as a hazard of the job. While no one is concluding that this is the cause, the propability is high up there and cannot be completely erased.

I can hear you say she could have protected herself. Before you continue any further in your thoughts do you know the hazards of your job, what compensations you are entitled to should you become exposed and what to do to live an optimal life.
