Summary Rachel is a HIV-positive mother whose goal it is to educate pregnant women in Burkina Faso so that they will not pass on the virus to their children. Her activities take place around the clinics of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, where she found the help of Agnes, a nurse who teaches pregnant women the protocol of HIV prevention. One of the main obstacles in Rachel's journey is to overcome the problem of social exclusion for these HIV-positive women. In this culture, the HIV question is considered by many to be a woman's problem. They need to make sure that their babies will not be infected, but by doing the HIV test they worry that their community will learn about their illness and eventually ostracize them. Rachel realizes that raising awareness in the clinics of the capital is no longer enough. She has to extend her fight to the remote area in the outskirts of Ouagadougou where the level of education is much lower and therefore the women face a higher level of discrimination.
