As part of GCN & HIV Ireland’s LIVING exhibition, we spoke to the faces behind the portraits – meet Conor.
“I remember when I was first diagnosed and it was the most shameful thing that ever happened to me and I was never going to tell anybody.
“And having people who are out there saying ‘Look at me, I’m living my life, I’m healthy, I’m happy, I’m working, I’m loving’… It was really crucial.
“If you can do the work on yourself and fight that shame and get over that stigma and do the research and get involved with your communities, it can become the best thing that’s ever happened to you.”
You can experience this unique portrayal of people LIVING with HIV in Ireland, until December 17 at CHQ Dublin and find out more in GCN’s December issue 369.
