Moipone's Story

Moipone, a lively nine-year-old, comes to the hospital with her mother, who is also HIV-positive. She is a laughing, mischievous girl, her mother's pride and joy and a delight for the clinic staff. Moipone's mother is also receiving antiretroviral treatment that will keep her alive and healthy to care for her little girl. The school uniform Moipone wears suggests another happy outcome: the pediatric treatment she receives will keep her healthy so she can attend school, play with her friends, and keep sharing her lovely laugh.
