"A lot’ of children come to me and say ‘how do you deal with this?’ [being HIV positive] and I say ‘it is easy’. I ask them how they deal with their lives. I ask them ‘okay if you are ill and then the doctor said to you take this medicine for this month, would you do it or wouldn't you do it?’ and they say to me ‘I will do it’. And then I ask them why and they say ‘because I′d like to be well and healthy’. And then I say ‘okay, I′d also like to be healthy. I′m taking my medication every day so that's no big deal about that’ and then they say ‘okay so it's not a big deal"

“I picture myself helping people who are HIV positive, encouraging them with their treatment, advising them not to give up with life, not to think that it's the end of the world, you know”

"You might be HIV Positive but that does not stop you from living or achieving your life goals. Remember you are loved and supported by us and the people around. A pill once a day keeps a doctor away."
