An enlightening experience

TEN years ago, I was invited to be part of the Youth-2-Youth theatre programme when the International Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific (ICAAP) was hosted by Kuala Lumpur. We performed at a couple of locations in the KLCC area, with the intention of using theatre to introduce HIV/AIDS issues to our peers.

Because I was part of the programme, I was also invited to sit in on a youth symposium which was part of the congress. There, I met the first person I knew who was living with HIV.
