Introduction

Positive Lives is a unique international project that photographs and documents
the social and emotional impact of the global HIV & AIDS epidemic, illuminating
positive human responses to this world crisis.

As a collection of over one thousand images and text, Positive Lives focuses on
personal stories of those at the heart of the HIV & AIDS epidemic.

Photography is a powerful, universal language that crosses all cultures and social differences and reaches the heart and spirit. With or without text, viewers can bring their own experiences to the images and engage with them - and in turn, use the images to begin telling and sharing their own stories.
