«¿Por qué a mí?» is the young adult novel by Valéria Piassa Polizzi, published by Editorial Alfaguara in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
The author narrates in the first person her experience after receiving an HIV diagnosis at fifteen: the fear, the uncertainty, the rejection and the learning to live with the illness. With a direct tone, without self-pity and with touches of humour, she tells how she decided to speak about it to warn other young people of the risks of AIDS.
Published in 2003, this Spanish edition, translated by Marta Fernández and Renato Valenzuela, belongs to Alfaguara's Red Series; the Portuguese original is «Depois daquela viagem».
Recommended reading for young people who want to approach a real testimony about HIV and adolescence.
