Ten years ago, Inviolata Mmbwavi’s relatives thought she would die. Today, thanks to her determination, she is the star of the family. "My entire family is now proud of what I am despite the handicaps I face," Inviolata says. She adds: "Even relatives who used to gossip about my HIV status have stopped." Today, she has only one wish. "I would want to have another child but I do not want to infect somebody or have an HIV-positive child," she says.
