BOOK OVERVIEW
‘Aakash is HIV positive.’
Doctor Neetu’s words pierced me like a bullet. Did she just say that my husband had HIV?
The doctor turned towards me, her face deep with concern, and perhaps pity. I braced myself. ‘Manu, your test results have come back as ‘inconclusive’. We need to conduct more tests to find out if you have contracted the virus.’ She paused and redirected her matter-of-fact tone to my husband. ‘You also need to take more blood tests so that I can determine what stage the virus has reached in your system and treat it accordingly.’
‘And my advice to you, Manu. If we confirm that you have contracted the virus, do not keep the baby.’
(Lovesick, p. ix)
This book is a story about an Indian woman who refused to let HIV defeat her in her quest to find true love.
