I'm a lot like you deals mainly with the issues around HIV and touches on AIDS too. The focus is on a young child who is living with HIV. We see how similar her life is to that of her friends. The story shows that the young girl loves to do all of the normal things that children like to do, but that she has to be careful in some instances, because she has a virus in her blood. The realities of AIDS and the sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS are not dealt with here.
