However their relationship faced an added complexity, Cissy is HIV-positive, while Rogers is HIV-negative. Despite this, they embraced their love and embarked on a journey together.

Cissy, having experienced the stigma surrounding HIV, understood the challenges of disclosure, especially for women. She knew the fear of rejection and discrimination that often accompanied revealing one's HIV status.
