16 year survivor

You are an amazing woman.

Wow, what a story! That has to be one the most depressing, yet uplifting stories I have ever read. You must have more courage than 3 people combined. To go through what you did and mostly alone, is an amazing feat, especially in the first dark days when you found out the truth. I was trying to picture what was going through your head when you did a suprise visit to the hospital and first saw what was going on. I don't think I would have held it together too well and probably would not be here today. Amazing story.

Read your story....very inspiring.

What struck me the most is that you can have AIDS and then have children who are not postive.
That is something I never realized.

I actually didn't know this either. I thought their chances would at least be increased tenfold.

Happy sweet 16 and heres to many many more.

Jenny, I'm looking forward to your post when you hit your 30 year mark!

That is something I never realized.

Unmedicated the odds of an HIV positive mother having an HIV positive child are around 25 percent...Her viral load at the time has a lot to do with the risk..Usually when a child aquires HIV from their mother it is from coming in contact with blood during the birth
A women who takes meds and has a C-section(which is standard nowdays) has about as much of a chance of having an HIV positive baby as a healthy woman's chances of having a baby with a birth defect...Less than 2 %

I'd love some grandkids...But hopefully not for another 10 years or so DD is only 15

Didn't you see the many more years. They were to enable her to get older first.
