Susan and Antonia have a few things in common. They are both living with HIV. They each gave birth to three HIV-free children. And they both agreed to give honest accounts of the highs and lows of navigating disclosure, safe sex, contraception, pregnancy and the prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) programme in Trinidad. Listen to their stories.
