In 2003, Abiyot Godana found out that she was pregnant. She had been living with HIV since 1997. To help ensure her child would be born free from HIV, she immediately enrolled into a programme for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV.
Today 73% of all pregnant women living with HIV across the globe have access to PMTCT services.
Abiyot’s son Mikias was born free from HIV. A few years later she had a daughter Mekedelawit who was also born HIV-free.
Abiyot sells chips at a stall on the side of the road. She uses the stall as a platform to encourage women to get tested and know their HIV status.

SOUNDBITE:
Godana: 27 SECS
I went to the hospital because I wanted to have children free from HIV. I followed up with my treatment to assure myself and to be a role model for others. I am very happy that my children are free from the virus. They are my testimony and I even consider myself free when I look at them. The thought of having a family free from HIV - children free HIV brings so much joy to my life.

SOUNDBITES (encrusted) 24 SECS
Molika (she is talking to young women sitting in a club) : Why don’t all entertainment workers go and get tested for HIV?
Answer on cam (woman yellow top) : Because I don’t know where to go.
Molika: What else?
Answer on cam (black top) : Because I dare not go, I am afraid.
There are more than 30 000 entertainment workers in Cambodia. Most are young women and they can be at higher risk of HIV. A third of entertainment workers do not know their HIV status. But communities are driving change with rapid HIV tests.
