“I used to tell everybody: ‘People with HIV/AIDS need respect, so don’t discriminate, don’t stigmatize, and don’t delay doing what needs to be done.’” “We have to protect vulnerable people and give them the same opportunities that everybody else in society has. They should have the right to be happy, to have a family, to get work and to be healthy.”
