I know you were an enemy before,
But now that we are living together
Let us sign an agreement.

I’m talking to you, HIV virus,
Before I responded, "Positive" to you,
I’m saying you were a threat;
But now let’s sign an agreement.

If you bite me hard I will die soon,
And so too will you die.
Let’s sign an agreement.

Don’t be harsh to me and I will not...
I will not have unprotected sex again.
So that you will be the only HIV virus in my body,
Let us sign an agreement.

Respond well to the ARVs I’m taking
So that we may still enjoy this life.
I’m talking to you, my friend, HIV virus.
Let us sign and agree to these lines.
