The Faces of AIDS

The Faces of AIDS tells the story of the human experience of living with AIDS in Africa. People with HIV and AIDS, their husbands and wives, their families, doctors and health workers talk about how AIDS has affected their lives.

The people in The Faces of AIDS are real people from Cameroon and Zimbabwe with the courage to speak out about their experience.

These are stories of fear and hope, of the struggle against pain and abandonment, and the fight for greater awareness and understanding about the disease.

The Faces of AIDS challenges stereotypes and asks questions about the need for African solidarity to fight the epidemic.
