Real HIV Stories From Papua New Guinea — Now Live on Amazon

They were told to be silent.

They were chased from villages.

Some were buried while still breathing.

But their stories refused to die.

After more than 10 years working in HIV & AIDS in Papua New Guinea — sitting face-to-face with children, mothers and fathers, listening to stories they were told never to tell — I have published:

"Who I Am Is Not Who I Will Be — The Untold Stories of People Living With AIDS in Papua New Guinea: 20 True Voices of Courage, Stigma, Hope & Survival"

This book holds twenty true stories, lived and told by real people. Not AI. Not imagined.

Stories of stigma. Stories of loss. Stories of courage, faith and survival.

From a gardener buried alive because of fear.

To a mother who chose life for her children.

To a young man who turned grief into hope — these are the voices we were never meant to hear.

Told with respect and with permission, this book is not about shame. It is about truth. It is about what happens when ignorance wins, and what happens when education, medicine and mercy arrive.

In PNG, fear has killed faster than HIV. People have died not because medicine was absent, but because stigma kept them from the clinic.

This book is for health workers, pastors, teachers, leaders, and families who want to understand what stigma does — and how dignity restores life.

 "Here we learned that stigma kills. Here we choose life."
