Bulelwa, HIV+ woman living in the impoverished area of Langa, portrayed with Mxolisi, 2 years, her HIV+ child, and her new-born baby which will have to wait to be tested until 6 weeks after pregnancy, on Monday, Aug. 22, 2005. She was taking Nevirapine, sponsored by private donors, which could cut the chances of contracting the virus of about two thirds.
