In the shadow, I'm always with you.
In the shadow, I'm always alone.
I gave you lots of presents to share my feelings.
I had mouth sores, a fever, and lots of headaches.
I was surprised when you saw your doctor.
You do not like my gifts?
I felt awful and my symptoms seem odd.
Seeing a doctor seem like the right choice for me
You did many tests. Why?
Do you not know who I am?
Many tests were done on me.
The results shocked me to the core
What's with the shocked face?
It's only me! Your one true friend — HIV
I got that disease.
The disease that can be the very death of me.
Stop! What are you doing?
You can't get rid of me!
I cannot get rid of you.
That is sadly true.
But with this pill
And a family that supports me
I can slow the damage
Making it bearable
To live with you — HIV
