“I was labeled a troublemaker, my mom an unfit mother, and I was not welcome anywhere.”

“I came face to face with death at 13 years old.”

“AIDS can destroy a family if you let it, but luckily for my sister and me, Mom taught us to keep going.”

“I am just one of the boys.”

“Because of the lack of education on AIDS, discrimination, fear, panic, and lies surrounded me.”

“I'm just like everybody else.”

“People need to be educated about this disease.”

“I hope my story will help other people with AIDS.”
