She tested positive for HIV in 1997. Princess is her first name, not a royal title. Zulu is the mother of Joy (11) and Faith (10), who are both HIV-negative. She has taken her message to the UN and international AIDS conferences. Her story has been featured in *The Wall Street Journal*, *USA Today* and on ABC's *Good Morning America*.
