We are very fortunate that we are not blighted with HIV/Aids. Isn't it just the way of the world that the women get the blame?
your image renders this very sad reality perfectly.
it is a bold, sad, powerful page. i admire how you draw the events of the world and the experiences of others into your journals. beautifully done.
