Life of a former witch

I've outgrown my wicked witch of the west ways. Reflections of life afterwards, living in the desert with two cats, friends, family, and my hot and cold love life.

Denial and the loss of an innocent child (follow-up)

The mother who gave birth to two children while being HIV positive gets to keep her surviving child after all. I'm sure the biggest reason was that after losing the daughter to AIDS related complications, the remaining child was tested three times and found to be HIV negative.

However, she was so afraid of doctors insisting on testing for HIV for her children, she apparently didn't see real doctors. Three men who were part of treating the daughter are now under investigation; one for not having a license to practice medicine in California (gee, hate it when that happens).
