Example from an email after Elaine Maane's Sunday Times article:

"I am 22 years of age and I’m a mother to a 7 weeks old baby girl. I discovered that I was HIV positive during my pregnancy. I urged my partner to go and get tested as well and the results came back positive. We were told to take the baby for an HIV test after 6 weeks, but we are so afraid of what the results might show. I don’t have anyone I can talk to, as my boyfriend is in denial of the situation. We really appreciate projects such as Openly Positive because they really strengthen us and remind us there is life on the positive side of HIV."

If you want to respond directly to Clouds move, Umzala or any of the Whisper not stories, please email us – Derrick, Elaine or one of our authors will reply.

For example, you can share your ideas and feelings on:

• How did you feel after reading our stories?
• Did the stories remind you of some experiences in your own life?
• Were the Lessons and questions for discussion useful, and do you have ideas to add to these?
• Have you been able to try out the Positive language guidelines and can you suggest any more guidelines or other examples?
• Did you find the Writing tips useful and how is your own writing going?

Example from an email after a radio interview by Derrick Fine on Clouds move:

“I am writing from Gaborone in Botswana. I listened with interest to your interview on SAFM the other day. It was, I think, the day after I had learned I am HIV positive. I have so far found no one here to talk to. What I would like to know is how do people cope with the side effects of the ARVs? I must say your website projects a buoyant image of being positive, but I would like to know also what I may have to prepare for.”
