Part 1

Behind every request for an HIV test lies a person with a story, a reason, questions, fears and so much more. From the complexities of human sexuality to the dynamics of fear, guilt, secrecy and desire, the education that comes with a long career in HIV-test counselling is never-ending and always fascinating.
