The mother finally got tested after the father of the children and husband had became very ill, and the eery positive results confirmed her worries.
Soon after the couple enrolled in the Kanyama Health Center, a program focused on helping those affected by HIV and Aids, by offering free life saving treatment. This life changing treatment has influenced Connie to devout her life to spreading awareness on the Aids epidemic and the importance of testing.
