Simona lives in Bucharest，Romania.She is nine years old and HIVpositive.When Simona’s mother found out about her illness five years ago，her first reaction was to tell everyone，looking for support.
“That’s when I found out who really was my friend，and who wasn’t，” she said.“Quite a few people stopped visiting me and asked their children not to play with Simona any more.Because of this，quarrels began in my family.My husband became more and more unfriendly towards me and towards Simona with each trouble brought about by her diagnosis.He didn’t understand how important it was for Simona to receive regular examinations by a doctor or why she needed proper treatment for her sickness.”
