I took her to the local clinic in our village, where she was seen by quick in a private clinic. Savita was treated with various injections for a week. I didn't know what medicines she was given or why they were given. There was no treatment card or documentation.
Instead of getting better, my daughter's condition worsened. I was told there was nothing more that could be done at the local clinic and to take Savita to a private hospital in Hajipur. There, my daughter was admitted. The doctor prescribed many blood tests and X-rays, which cost 55,000 INR. Savita was admitted for about 10 days. She received many medicines, but she kept getting worse. Finally, the doctor told me that Savita had an infection in the brain. He told me he couldn't help Savita anymore. He advised me to take her to another private hospital where they could help her. Again, Savita was admitted for another week. I had to pay another 50,000 INR for the care. I am a widow, my husband died 15 years ago, and I have no income. To afford all these medical expenditures, I had to loan money. In the end, I could not afford the costs anymore. As my daughter was not getting any better, I had no other choice but to bring her home again.
One of my relatives advised me to take Savita to a higher government hospital in Patna. We were seen by a medical doctor in the Emergency Department. This doctor told us there was nothing that could be done there and advised us to bring her to the state referral hospital. In this hospital, Savita was admitted, and tests were done again. This is where we found out that my daughter was HIV positive. Savita continued to be very sick. One of the nurses spoke to me. She said, "Even if you sell all your properties, you can't save your child." She also told me, "This is Chua Chut Bimari (a disease spread by touching), and I should bring my child back home and not tell anybody about the HIV." I did as the nurse advised me.I took my daughter back to see the private doctor in Noida. The doctor Rajeev asked to see the medical documentation from the state referral hospital. When the doctor saw that Savita had tested positive for HIV, he told me to take her to Nidan mother and child care Now, we are here.
