Lexington, South Carolina
Positive since 2005

I was two months pregnant when I found out that I was HIV positive, I felt like I had signed my death certificate until I started going to the HIV Clinic. I learned so much from there.

I’ve been positive for seven years now, and am just as healthy as can be. I have two beautiful children who are HIV negative. And I’m in a wonderful relationship with a negative man. I couldn’t ask for anything better then this!
