Thandi's Story
Resource Description:
One day, 20 September 2002, I met a man in the hotel in which I am staying. We agreed that the man will pay me R150.00. He agreed but then he refused to use a condom, was very rude and brutal, and he forced himself on me after he told me that he was HIV+. I was too afraid to go and test, the situation was too painful. I started to hate myself and men. Finally I went to the clinic and there they mocked me. I also went to the police station and it was worse: they made a joke about my rape. I felt useless and dirty.
