Deciding Moments

"I had my mothers support from the very beginning."

"Love yourself, take care of yourself, and protect yourself, at all times."

"Asking for help was hard, but once I did, a whole new life opened up."

"My son is HIV positive and gay. I love him and everything about him."

"I do have a voice and I have something to say about HIV/AIDS."

"I have found the greatest thing, which was myself."

"You need to participate in your own survival."

"Living with HIV does not define who I am."

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."

"If you’re having sex, go ahead and get tested."

"We wanted to be safe and happy, and live a long life together."
