I began to understand that HIV can be a blessing, and I began to understand the most challenging thing in life. If you want to, you can get the best out of life.

I believe it when my street ministry lady and case worker tell me I'm falling into place not apart. Although it may feel overwhelming I don't dare become stagnant.

Yo siempre estoy educando a los demás. Las personas que deberían saberlo, no lo saben. Crecieron cuando comenzó la epidemia del VIH. Entonces, comparto mi historia porque quiero ayudar a la gente. NECESITAMOS HABLAR SOBRE EL VIH.
