Deciding Moments

My Deciding Moments

"I just decided right there, I don’t want to die."

"I became free from the stigma of HIV and AIDS."

"I finally learned to love myself and to see how strong I really am."

"The real shame comes from not talking about HIV and AIDS."

"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."
