He has AIDS, we love him

A poster with text and a portrait of an African American man with two African American girls

He has AIDS, we love him

Not unlike the disease itself, people with AIDS faced powerful stigmas that transcended racial boundaries. This poster reminded African American communities that it was and is okay to interact with, hug, and love people with AIDS. Through the voices of children and loving families, the poster helped to erode the myths and fears associated with people with AIDS.
