Download Thembi's AIDS Diary

In 2004, at the age of 19, Thembi Ngubane was given a tape recorder to keep an audio diary of her life with AIDS. Over the course of a year, Thembi recorded more than 50 hours of tape, which was edited into a half-hour documentary for broadcast on NPR's All Things Considered on April 19, 2006.

Thembi’s AIDS Diary has become a powerful tool to help reduce the stigma of AIDS, highlight the need for antiretroviral drugs in Africa, and infuse young people with the information and inspiration to bolster existing AIDS awareness campaigns.

In honor of World AIDS Day this year, Radio Diaries has launched their podcast, taking Thembi's AIDS Diary (and other Radio Diaries stories) beyond the traditional public broadcast outlets and audiences.
