About this work
Description
"Positive Lives is an extraordinary collaboration. Patients, photographers, friends and lovers have come together to produce a unique photodocumentary about AIDS and HIV. Their shared objective is to show the broad range of responses, both practical and emotional, developed in the face of this pandemic. Responses not just to the need to care for the infected and the affected, but to the threat of its impact on all our lives. Positive Lives is a human story. Behind the statistics, behind the campaigning, behind the prejudice and disinformation, are people. This is their story."-- Back cover.
