The first time Asunta Wagura, 51, decided to go against all odds and conceive was 2006. She was scorned and encouraged almost in equal measure because of her HIV status. She was also 41 years old, an age many considered too old for childbirth.
The encouragement was mostly from women like her, whom she euphemistically referred to as TTC; trying to conceive. The criticism was from people who did not understand why a public figure, the Executive Director of the Kenya Network of Women with Aids (Kenwa), and a mother of one who had lived with HIV for about 20 years wanted another baby.
