HIV/AIDS has a devastating effect on children. Over the last dozen years the Marinda van Niekerk has spent a great deal of time with many teenagers, in her function as a minister to inner city adolescents in Pretoria, but also as a researcher. The effects of HIV/AIDS on children with real faces and real stories inspired her awareness of the ways their lives are and will continue to be affected by this disease. This book emanated from the author’s desire to be more than a spectator in their journey.
The moving stories of the young people who participated in this research tell us about existing prejudices, assumptions and values with regard to HIV/AIDS, and also address the imbalances of formal structures regarding the availability of medical, social, legal and other facilities to certain groups. In this way, it hopes and aims to contribute to improving the care for young people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS
