A St James woman’s world was turned upside down after her face was splashed across a social media page that has been posting persons, alleging that they are HIV-positive.

“I found out about the page yesterday (Tuesday) morning, roughly around nine. I was getting ready to go to work and a former co-worker of mine sent me a link on WhatsApp saying I need to look at this,” she said.

She explained that she did not view the video at first, as she was preoccupied with making funeral preparations for her father, who had recently passed.
