Title: Ribbons
HIV Diagnosis: 1987
My doll holds a red ribbon – the symbol for AIDS Awareness. When I see a red ribbon it reminds me I’m not
alone. It reminds me that my friends affected and infected share in the fight against HIV – share in the survival of
HIV and our hared experiences are the ties that bind us.

“Precious” is what I realize “I am.” There is nothing more fulfilling than inner peace. Form my spiritual health I
have learned to love myself first. This virus teaches me to be patient, giving, honest and respectful to other people
and myself. My mission in life now is to live long and joyous. If I must live this way “I will live it positively.”

My doll wears glasses because HIV has affected my eyes. It has allowed me to see how precious time spent with
those you love really is. My doll wears a cross because HIV has affected my faith. It is my faith that has given me
strength. My doll wears her heart on for everyone to see because HIV has affected my heart. It holds all the love
and memories of the friends I have lost to HIV and those still living with it…walking beside me in this journey.

In the 23 years since I became infected, life has not stopped. I have watched my beautiful daughter grow-up,
graduate college, become a mother and I am a grandmother. I never thought I would see my 50th birthday. But
each new day is a blessing!!
