"The father of my children died from HIV and that gave me a lot of problems. I cried. There are still people who stay away.

I will continue to drink my medication." –Medina, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, 2014 Medina/Courtesy of Through Positive Eyes hide caption

David Gilkey is seen in 2013 at NPR's Afghanistan bureau as he started a month in the country. David wore silver bracelets on his wrist as a kind of good luck charm. He said every time he had a near-death experience, he let one go. He threw one into the Euphrates River after the second battle of Fallujah. Another went into the Helmand River after he covered the arrival of U.S. Marines in 2009. Graham Paul Smith/NPR hide caption
