VOICES OF HOPE
Steven
Steven is the youngest of three boys, he’s always been more emotionally sensitive and expressive than his brothers. He’s always liked the softer side of life. While his brothers liked to work on their bicycles and cars, he had no interest in those activities. Steven preferred to be in the kitchen with his mother or great-grandmother, baking their homemade bread and cinnamon rolls.
He Redeemeth My Soul - Steven
Living with HIV/AIDS in Faith and Brotherhood.
As I looked in the bathroom mirror, I noticed a swollen lymph gland in my neck. I sensed immediately that I had the AIDS virus. As I noticed other swollen glands, I knew my life had changed forever. I immediately made an appointment for an HIV/AIDS test. On March 4, 1994, at around 2:15 p.m., I got the results—it’s something you never forget. I tested positive.
