When I got pregnant I was scared. ... [I] didn't know if [I] would get to have my child. I didn't have a big support system, and not too many people knew I was HIV positive. The clinic was very supportive of everything. ... It felt personal. I didn't feel like just a patient.

Charmaine Stern, HIV positive mother of five and community advocate.
