are subtle and dignified, and the narratives have a lucid strength, even =
in despair. . further breaking the silence and statistics that surround =
people living with HIV and AIDS. " - from Publishers Weekly

body. It was a very powerful and personable way to reach young people =
regarding AIDS and its impact on everyday human beings without actually =
lecturing them. This exhibit enabled the student to be the seeker of =
knowledge, rather than a passive recipient of it." - University of =
