PORTFOLIO: TB in Belarus: TB_26_DAV201808_D18_00021002

I learnt that I had Tb in 2016. I wasn’t shocked to learn that I had Tb. I knew about Tb since I was little. My father had Tb from 2005 and up until 2014. And my mom from 2015 to 2016, she got cured in 2016. My father was on treatment for a long time, but he didn’t want it. He was drinking, he wouldn’t go to the polyclinic, and when he made up his mind it was too late: there were no drugs that could help him. He died in 2014. Alyona, 19, Minsk, Belarus, 2018
