25 YEARS OF SA DEMOCRACY 
25 STORIES OF YOUNG SOUTH AFRICANS 
25 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER, LIVING WITH HIV

25 brave South African youth have stepped up and reached out to share their personal life stories. This book is a reminder that HIV is not a death sentence, and it is not a life sentence.

The 25 youth featured in this book are sharing their courage, hope and coping skills with everyone who needs support. This book is for everyone – infected, affected or just curious about HIV. This book is about winning – against all odds. HIV does not kill your future. HIV does not have the power to kill our dreams. And HIV should never stand in our way.
