Woman an 'open book' on HIV


KUALA LUMPUR: HIV can elicit a variety of responses, but a social activist here who is HIV positive has decided that she will be an “open book” when it comes to the disease.

“As a person who is living for more than 13 years with HIV, I believe that my role here is to educate and raise awareness among the public, and try my best to shed the stigma about people living with HIV,” said Norlela Mokhtar (pic), 49, who decided to be part of the Human Library project.
