Massage to Society by community

I Dream of a Society that is sympathetic to HIV-Positive people, who are already surrering from the damages caused by HIV. Discrimination further increases our surrering.

Both my parents are HIV-Positive, but I am HIV negative because my parents knew all about HIV. All HIV-positive parents should have access to information regarding transmission of HIV/AIDS to children and to medical procedures which prevent transmission, so that their children can live a life free of HIV.
