It must've been love

JAKARTA (JP): A woman who gave up her profession as a prostitute because she tested positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is now back in Jakarta, as a housewife.

The woman, who resided in Bekasi, was sent to her home village in Pemalang in Central Java after she tested positive last year, the Pemalang Health Office chief Dr. Subroto was quoted by the Antara news agency as saying.

A local young man fell for her and although he was warned about her health condition, he insisted on marrying her, Subroto said.

"It must've been love," he said, adding that the newly weds have now moved to Jakarta because the husband works at a sanitation company here. (emb)
