Michelle is like so many other Australia women: adventurous, outgoing and not afraid of risks. One night of passion with a stranger however changed things forever and her life after HIV nearly ended in tragic circumstances at the Grand Canyon.

She shares her story with Journalist Tim Brunero.

It’s important to reiterate that HIV is no longer the grim reaper it once was. There is now life after diagnosis. For some it’s often the wake up call they need to start living and educating everyone about HIV now helps with the rebuilding process.
