. 'I didn't know anything about it - I didn't know it was
even possible to catch it,' she explained.It was like a really severe bout of
the flu.'I thought "why?".'I just didn't know anything about it - I
just thought you got it in Africa. I didn't know a white person had ever got
it.''I will not be defined by it [my illness] - people love me for who I am,'.
Her comments were described by
Philip as 'extremely naive'.
