As if things can’t get any worse in a marriage than being simply unhappy and incompatible, LaJoyce soon finds out that things are far worse than she ever imagined when she discovers that her husband is HIV positive.

As a strong wife, LaJoyce stands by her husband as he fights the disease and she nurses him through the debilitating effects of the disease.
