Intro - Barbara Kemigisa

Image

My name is Barbara Kemigisa. I am a single mother living with HIV in Kampala Uganda Africa. I am 29 years old and have passed through different challenges which affect most of our youth today and get them exposed to HIV. I was sexually abused at 6-11 years of age by my uncles; as a result of this I developed a lifestyle of sexual activities with multiple partners and other habits like drinking alcohol and smoking. My father did not understand what was happening to me and this created strife between us. This forced me to leave home and seek refuge on the streets of Kampala.
