As part of GCN & HIV Ireland’s LIVING exhibition, we spoke to the faces behind the portraits – meet Liz.
“I’m very privileged to be here. I feel it’s a message that needs to get out there and stamp out stigma and discrimination.
“I’ve lived with HIV for 30 years, so it’s been a long way to come. I didn’t think I was actually going to make it this far, you know, so I’m just so glad to be here.
“It’s very important to get the word out. Like, I’m living with HIV and I’m the same as you and the same as everyone else. I have the same worries, the same fears and the same dreams.
“There is light at the end of the tunnel and have hope. Hope is so important. You know, you have to have hope.”
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.
