They look like the perfect family, happily celebrating Christmas Day.
Lizzie Jordan and her loving boyfriend Benji Kumassah (pictured right) beam for the camera as their little daughter Jaye, 2, struggles to get back to her presents under the tree.
But within three months of this photo Benji was dead, and soon after Lizzie got the news she was dreading.
Benji died suffering from AIDS, and she is HIV positive too.
Lizzie, 25, from Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, says: “I’ll never forget the moment my GP gave me the diagnosis.
“He came to my house and I suppose in my heart of hearts I knew it wasn’t going to be good.
“It took three tense weeks for the results to come through, so when I heard the words ‘You’re positive,’ it was almost a relief.
“My biggest concern was for my daughter, who I had to stop breast feeding immediately.
“Jaye went for blood tests, but mercifully she’s clear.”
Lizzie and Benji’s story begins in 2003 when she logged on to an internet chat room for a break from researching a dissertation in fashion design.
The first person she contacted was Benji, who had arrived in the UK from Ghana to study IT six years previous, and eventually landed a job in a prominent computer firm.
For six months the two messaged each other every day, until Lizzie could bear it no longer, and hopped on the train to London for their first face-to-face meeting.
