She talked in my school today! Very impressive woman!

[@emmacole7170]

Thank you! Always appreciate feedback from pupils who have heard me at their school. Emma

@@emmacole7170 Thank you for doing this. I'm HIV+ I live in NYC and was infected after being poked in my back on a bus last year. Still can't believe I didn't get it check out immediately at an hospital. The guy who sat behind me is probably still out there doing this to other people. I cried alot over the year

For those wondering which family member rejected me after I featured in the BBC documentary 'Positive Women' it was my Mum. Still no contact since 2001 when the programme was broadcast.

[@justinamusyoka4986]

So ,how's your relationship with her now?

[@emmacole7170]

@@justinamusyoka4986 Sadly I've still had no contact with my Mum since the programme was televised in 2001.

[@justinamusyoka4986]

@@emmacole7170 you're strong woman Emma and more days will be added to you. I think its unfair for your mum to take side with the disease and fail to offer the requisite comfort to you. We need to be strong because other deadlier diseases will come and will only progress depending on how we managed Hiv. Peace to you.

Has this changed since the 'other' retrovirus is now affecting the world? Only the route of transmission is different.

[@neasacoyne2706]

Dear Emma, thank you for your frank and honest talk on HIV. I as a mother of two wonderful children could never turn my back on either and I don’t know how a parent could do such a thing. I am sorry for judging your mother but I cannot understand her mentality. You are a strong ,brave lady and your mother should be proud she gave birth to such a daughter.

[@noahburns6042]

Emma gave an hour talk in my school today, but I wish it had been longer. She was extremely entertaining and open in what she said, not losing my attention, or anyone else's for that matter, for the whole of her presentation. I hope she keeps doing what she's doing; Emma is a natural talent in public speaking and her story, and the way she told it, extremely interesting and engaging.

All thanks to Dr Abiola on KZbin for curing me permanently from HIV virus ❤️...

[@nidupgyeltshen5719]

This was so inspiring. I am currently working on an advocacy campaign on reducing stigma and discrimination surrounding HIV and AIDS and your talk helped a lot. Thanks again Emma.

[@emmacole7170]

Good luck with your campaign.

[@delanyzuniga1064]

Emma is incredibly brave to share her story and talk publicly to be able to remove the stigma around HIV

To the people who are HIV Positive, I know many of you are scared...just know that you are loved by your family and friends as ''You'' (with or without HIV). Never lose hope...you can still live your life to the fullest with the medicine available. Also, research this past few years are gaining ground to eradicating this virus. You may reply if you need someone to talk to.
