Transcription: My name is Chantal Mukandoli. I become an HIV advocate, activist with the title of International Community of Women Living with HIV in 2003. I represented the ICW global for three countries in central Africa (Rwanda, Congo and Burundi). In 2006, I moved to Canada, where I am living currently. I started to be involved, building my relationship with different organizations in HIV field, improving my language and having good communication, connecting with other community members, peers, service providers, researchers, doctors, nurses , pharmacists to move forward how to build my capacity skills and have more experience. I become a stronger woman living with HIV because of others. My resilience is to accept to be a pioneer, champion in HIV leadership, to fight stigma and discrimination for people living with HIV to know they rights, and to bring peace between HIV positive and HIV negative people's in delivery and spreading the message of HIV prevention and testing.
