English: My name is Julie, and I am a 45 year old blind woman living in Rwanda. I am married to a blind man and practice small farming to sustain myself and my family. For many years I knew my HIV status and it troubled me a lot. People used to talk about me, wondering who infected a blind woman, and I would feel ashamed. I decided not to give birth because I believed I would infect my child and they would never forgive me.”
