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."

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

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