, Rolene Strauss chats about her personal story on HIV, after making the revelation in an Instagram post this past weekend.Rolene Strauss took to Instagram this past weekend to share her personal story around HIV. The South African beauty queen explained that after the birth of her first child in 2017, she was completing medical studies and was exposed to HIV while treating a patient.

“Sharing a deeply personal story today ❤️. After the birth of our first son back in 2017, I was completing my medical studies and was exposed to HIV while treating a patient at a hospital during my call one evening. I was breastfeeding at the time and had to go on post-exposure prophylaxis. I can still remember all the questions running through my head at the time… 💭,” she wrote.

Despite my medical background, the flood of questions and concerns was relentless. Would this affect my child? How would this impact our family’s future? The journey that followed was one of vigilance, undergoing post-exposure prophylaxis while navigating the delicate balance of motherhood and medical obligations. It was a period marked by fear, but also by resilience and an unwavering determination to protect my family.

It’s not just about raising awareness; it’s about embracing a responsibility born from personal experience. It’s about empowering mothers to prioritize their own health as an integral part of safeguarding their children’s future.
