Martha was 14 years old when she learned she had been born with #HIV. At first gripped by fear, she fought to overcome the misconceptions in her community. Today she is an advocate for young people living with HIV. #StepUpTheFight

I am asked why I’m angry at the campaign to remove LGBT awareness from schools:
is it cos of my gay friends?

No, it’s because of my Muslim, Jewish & Christian friends
