Our trip to Africa changed my life. Just as we were uncovering the AIDS situation in Eritrea, I suddenly found myself facing the very dilemma we were investigating. I never thought it would happen to me. I was educated on the subject. I should've known better. Having a vacation romance softened the harsh reality surrounding us, but it was my willingness to trust that led me to make my most ironic mistake. Late into the editing process I put asside my personal humiliation. I thought, "If I have HIV, I must tell it." Later, I realized that even if I would be so lucky as to escape, the story could still resonate within the public. I mean, who hasn't had unprotected sex?
