What would it mean for young people with HIV to see themselves on magazine covers and in the media?
What would it mean for young people afraid of getting tested, or figuring out how to negotiate condom use to see uplifting examples of young people living with HIV?
What would it mean for people to understand the devastating impact that HIV-related stigma, bullying, and discrimination can have on self-esteem, health outcomes, and resiliency of people living with HIV?
We know you understand the importance of media in framing the narrative on HIV, because over 60 organizations and 1200 individuals have already signed our Open Letter to Tyler Perry. (Haven’t signed? What are you waiting for? Sign now)

Well being hiv positive people automarically see a person as nasty, people are afraid to get too close….people are afraid ro become friends with an hiv positive person and from person experiencepeople will not fall in love with you because you got it and they don’t want it…being an hiv positive person you feel ugly, disgusting and that noone will ever want to be with you..and its exactly how I am treated. Having an hiv positive cover girl will show the world that we are still human, we are still beautiful and we are still in need of love it will wipe out all the dirty stereotypes and phobias about hiv positive people
