Description
Additional poster text: A lot of people couldn't. Some even go out of their way to avoid you. Even friends and members of your own family. Can you imagine how that feels? The isolation and the loneliness? Yet the fact is you can't contract HIV from working or socialising with someone who has is. And thanks to new treatments, most people with HIV can now lead full active lives. All that's stopping them is other people's ignorance. Are you HIV prejudiced? By ending ignorance, we'll end prejudice. Poster depicts black and white photograph of man’s face. The question: “Could you look me in the eye if you knew that I had HIV?” is written in his eyes. Poster held by Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library. History & Special Collections, Collection no. 306, item UK038.
