What inspires you to work in the HIV field?

My inspiration comes from seeing improvements in the quality of life for people living with HIV who are on treatment.

What are your goals as an IAS change maker?

My goals are to: stop the transmission of HIV; prevent vertical transmission; give early diagnosis and treatment for children with HIV and prolong their lives; give special care for older people living with HIV; and strengthen HIV services in the government.
