I was thinking, if I only get enough showers, I will get rid of this stain that I am feeling now.

This seemed to work until two years after the attack in 2000, when I started feeling sick, like getting this nose bleeding.

and very weak and I had an injury in this hand when I was working in the tropical area in Bolivia.

I had one insect biting me and this injury would not heal and so I thought maybe I have a tropical disease.

And I went to request this test.

But my sister, who was the only one who knew about the rape, she said, why don't you also take an HIV AIDS test?

I was thinking, what?

I don't think I am one of those persons that get HIV AIDS.

But I went to collect the test, and all of them were negative.

They were like six tests.

But this HIV AIDS test was positive.

I was thinking.

What else is life going to throw at me?

Life was daring me.

Death seemed also to dare me at that moment.

You know, in 2000, HIV was a death sentence.

There was no medications.

There was stigma, discrimination.

There was a lot of rejection.

And the prognosis that we received was probably that I could live maybe six months, one year.
