A Girl from Kalk Bay: Courage in the time of crisis. My journey through the AIDS epidemic


Overview

This is my story - a journey from South Africa to London, and then on to living and working with HIV in Sydney, San Francisco, Singapore, and Southeast Asia from the early 1980s through to 2015. It is a reflection of my determination to pursue prevention programs and help save lives. I hope this story offers you some insight into the struggles and the profound loss experienced by so many people in the prime of their lives.

Author Information

In 2006, worried about rising prevalence rates of AIDS in the Asia Pacific region, the Australian Government engaged me to help develop a private sector response across the region. This resulted in the creation and development of a network of national business coalitions, financed by the private sector and focusing on workplace education. A small number of countries, like Singapore, already had coalitions that joined the regional network. That's how I met Susie Solomon, the dynamic founder of the Singapore Business Coalition on AIDS. We also developed a regional training role for Susie to assist new coalitions establish their workplace programs.Susie and I are still friends nearly twenty years later. I was impressed by her deep knowledge of the development of HIV and AIDS, her dogged persistence in environments like Singapore where both Business and Government were not always keen to talk about AIDS and her warmness and empathy that made her a great trainer.Stephen Grant, CEO, Asia Pacific Business Coalition on AIDS (2006 -2013)
