"I’m a mother first, HIV came second."

"I’m not afraid to tell this story anymore and destroy the stigma."

“I can have open conversations with my family and friends.”

"Life is short. Let’s live, let’s live healthy and let’s play safe."

"We got tested together."

"We all have a part to play in this."

"I didn't know how locked down I was until I got free."

"Ignorance does not protect you from HIV."

"I don’t live with it, it lives with me - I was here first."

"First things first was to take care of me. I can do this."

"I am not going to let this virus stop me from what I want to do."

"I am there for him, no matter what."

"HIV is 100% preventable."

"I haven't lost my son. I have gained a little more knowledge."

"You just have to know your risks and what to do to stay healthy."
