Marvelyn Brown tells her story as a young heterosexual woman contracting HIV/AIDS at the young age of 19. A former top track and basketball athlete, she was in the best shape of her life, but found herself suddenly battling an unknown illness in an intensive-care unit. Doctors had no idea what was going on, and it never occurred to Brown that she might be HIV positive. Brown?s tale has had quite an impact on the AIDS community, and the world, as she travels telling her story trying to make more people aware of the continuing growth of the AIDS pandemic.
