Description: Additional poster text: She told us. We listened. And listened. She told us she'd spent her life caring for others and that now, when she really needed hope, there was no-one. That's why London Lighthouse provides information, care and support for anyone affected by HIV and AIDS. By the way, she left her husband and is now rebuilding her life again. Her or him. Young or old. Gay or straight. Black or white. AIDS doesn't care. We do. We need you to as well.
