HIV :: No room for moralizing the epidemic

I would like to reiterate a common place saying in the HIV and AIDS response: `It is not about how you contracted the virus — it is about how we will all respond to the HIV infection.` So there is no room for moralizing the epidemic or placing judgment. I will not keep you guessing- yes, I am HIV positive; I am a woman, and I am from Africa. And I am here to remind each and every one of us of the importance of keeping our promise.
