What inspires you to work in the HIV field?

My inspiration comes from the children, young people and families I work with and my desire to help them become successful and achieve their full potential regardless of their HIV status.

What are your goals as an IAS change maker?

My goals are to reach every child and young person living with HIV with interventions to support their individual care and ensure successful transition to adulthood.
