You are so strong thank you for sharing your testimony 💜

I  really pleased that you managed to make life work for you. Thank God it isn’t a terminal illness anymore. A hard story to tell but good on you for sharing your lived experiences. Take care and keep fighting!

Algorithm brought me here.

Thank you for sharing your incredible story. I really feel for the 20 year old you 😢 But look at you now - you're a beautiful strong lady!

You've been through the mill and have made it out the other side ❤

Trauma builds resilience in my opinion 💪

Happy to hear you have your daughters in your life.

Well done and keep doing what you're doing x

😭💔😭 (He gave it to u….😔) I am SO sorry. Thanku for sharing your story. U are a true heroine.

He's awful, seems like he's downright evil. I'm glad you're doing better nowadays ❤

Giving deadly disease is far dangerous and cruel than killing instantly.

I'm glad the meds are helping you. May you and your 3 humans flourish.

wow! you are such a strong and incredible woman. Thanks for having the courage to share your story. PS: the moment you mentioned the guy kept on saying you're infected, immediately I knew he's the one infected with hiv - what an vile evil human

Love how well you have moved upwards and onwards x

Thank you for sharing, and well done for having the strength to become the Mother, and Grandmother you are today...  Remarkable. Inspiring..

Thank you for sharing your story. It will help people. Raising awareness of this virus is so important. God bless you and keep you. Jan

Wow what a story ❤❤❤❤bless you lady xxxxx

The 90s/ early 2000s was a scary time re HIV in South Africa, but now - if responding well on meds - you're likely to have far less complications than you would with Diabetes. Stigma still there but thankfully it's a different world. Glad you're doing well and chasing your goals 🙌

He already knew he had it and spread it to you. That’s why he kept saying “you had aids”, projecting on you. You were young, vulnerable and too trusting. That’s why it’s so, important to get tested together with every new partner.

🙏🏻 love you sweet darling.  Thank you for sharing.  My heart is with you.

So proud of you Rachel, a true inspiration. I'm glad you were brave enough to share your story. Your strength comes through the screen, thanks for sharing. Love and respect to you ❤ xx
