The story

HIV changed my life it was very bad the first 3 1/2 years,but I went to God and he takes care of me, he never lets me down. My children and grandchildren play a big part too. I am a 42 year old Native American happy and living life to the fullest. Keep a rap on it, always protect yourself others may not always look out for your health.
