Lela is a Muslim and she is living with HIV. She is a single mother with 4 children. She was infected with HIV by her former husband who was a drug user.

Her health was deteriorating in year 2003. Treatment and medication was beyond her capacity.

In 2005, treatment and medication for HIV and AIDS were made free of charge in Malaysia. That was when Lela started receiving treatment.

Now, she is healthy. She has a house, a car and living happily with her 4 children.

Today, she works for the Malaysian AIDS Council's Treatment, Care & Support Department. She often attends conferences locally and internationally to share about her life living with HIV.

Lela hopes her story will inspires others.
