“It’s been a very long journey ever since I knew my status.

“I’ve lived for more than two decades with the virus,” she said.

“This has never let me feel like giving up on life.

“But it has made me take the opportunity to influence people to know about this disease.”

“Every time I meet people who say bad things, I take that as an opportunity to correct them.

“That’s how people are taught,” she said.

“More often than not, it’s merely because they’re uninformed.

“As people who live with the virus, we should always use that as an opportunity to correct and teach them.”

“When you personalize the risk of HIV infection, you begin to look in your area of service and in your area of influence,” she told the People’s Paper.

“If you’re that person who can advocate for people to have cheaper medicine, that’s your space.”
