The story

Hello, I'm Reine. I was born with HIV because my mother was a drug user. It has been hard living with HIV and my feelings get hurt when people say mean and ignorant things about people with HIV. I take my medications like I should and I hope to live a long and happy life. African American -Detroit, MI ID: ST-MIZ-B/-0137
