INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE
Anna Vincent
Anna Vincent, another patient of Dr. Walton's, experienced the same success at the Lascohobas clinic. Suffering from body rashes, weight loss and abdominal pains, the 36-year old mother was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis in October 2002. After receiving treatment for both conditions, Anna has made a tremendous recovery. She has gained more than 35 pounds and has resumed training to become a seamstress. While attending classes, Anna earns income as a vendor at the local market.
"Without antiretroviral therapy, I would not be here for my children," says Anna. "I would not be here at all... Now I can create a future for my children."
