Description
Additional poster text: "When I got the news that I was HIV positive I didn't panic because I was not the first and I knew I wouldn't die immediately. But then I told my family. They stopped coming to see me and wouldn't even talk to me... but I persevered. I used to pester my younger sister to do my hair - she did my hair in the photograph and I thing it's why the man I'm with now was interested in me." Micah, Kabuta village, Zambia.
