HIV Will Not Stop this Bodybuilder
Anyone who learns that he has contracted HIV will normally be demoralized. Practically placing a time frame for your life, the best way is to try and prolong your life as long as possible or make the most out of it. Perhaps that is what this guy was thinking of as he faces the crossroads of his life.
He is HIV+ but he is also positive about life. If you meet Khundrakpam Pradipkumar Singh you might feel a tinge of sympathy about a man who might soon come to the end of the road. But for Khundrakpam the journey is just beginning.
Even today there might not be a cure for the dreaded virus but this inspiring individual busts the myth that HIV+ means a date with mortality and despair. Pradipkumar, tested positive for HIV seven years ago. Today, seven years down the line he is a bodybuilder and one of the contenders for the Mr. India title.
“I was into drugs and that is how I contracted the virus. There was pain, anguish and a deep sense of guilt. That is when I decided to channelize all my emotions into body building and maintaining a fitness level.”
