Summary: Paige Rawl has been HIV positive since birth--but growing up, she never felt like her illness defined her. It never prevented her from entering beauty pageants or playing soccer or making the honor roll. One day in middle school, while consoling a friend, Paige disclosed her HIV-positive status--and within hours the bullying began. Desperate for escape, Paige swallowed sleeping pills. That could have been the end of her story; instead, it was only the beginning.
