About the Book
The year is 2006. We have come so far yet we are not quite there. Many lives were lost yet many still live. Many know the means of transmission, yet many neglect to follow it. Many of us live the fast life, looking for excitement, for success. We are constantly searching for that missing part that dwells deep inside, each one of us. For many of us, we are lost, broken, unloved, discriminated, depressed and angry. We are still in denial, shunned by society as lepers were years ago.
We are individuals with HIV/AIDS. We are part of the world, and each one of us is loved by GOD, our creator, no matter who we are, or what disease we may have. We are part of this world, and this society. Our lives have meaning, and each one of us can make a difference. I would like to take you on a journey, where you can experience the history, the struggles, trials and outcomes. Our testimonies, weaknesses, strengths, and our never ending hope for tomorrow.

BOOK REVIEWS
Dear Venus,
"I hope you recall me, I am from Zimbabwe and we met at Wyndham Hotel in Orlando at the Convocation for the Deacons. I participated in the Discussion where you were one of the participants. You gave me the book titled "I'm Still Here". Thank you for such an open message. I have been blessed by it. I will use it as a tool to educate and help many people who are shunned in the community. Surely we are made of God's image and he still loves us regardless of our health status. I wish there were many people bold like you. May GOD bless you , your family and the work you do. I would love to keep in touch with you."
With regards,
Violet Chikanya

Karen, a nurse., 12/02/2006
Thank you, Venus
This book gives a face to AIDS that many people don't want to know exists. Most people feel 'those people', and you may insert whatever personal prejudice fits here, deserve this disease. This book enlightens so we can get past this type of thinking. AIDS affects all of us,this book should be required reading. The educational information and prevention messages included might just save someone from becoming infected. Awareness is the best 'medicine' to fight this disease and Venus has given us a healthy dose.

Like many of the current biographies of persons who are HIV positive this book includes a great deal of information about HIV/AIDS, and the importance of nutrition. What makes this book distinctive is the personal testimony of Venus Perez describing how she became infected and how she has found it possible to live positively with faith. I found her story very moving. In Chapters 5 and 6 she presents an outstanding guide on how to live positively with HIV/AIDS. I highly recommend this book for persons who are HIV positive and/or are working with such persons. This book could be a useful study-guide for community and church groups.
