Positive Heroes Reducing stigma and normalising HIV Currently 1,000 people die every day in South Africa from HIV-related illnesses.

Positive Heroes (http://positiveheroes.org.za) offers a fresh approach to HIV by drawing on the power that positive role models, living with HIV, have to change people’s minds and responses to an epidemic of silence and shame. South Africans continue to think about HIV in a way that is devoid of any personal relevance, perceiving HIV as something ‘horrific’ and ‘shameful’ which affects 'other peop

le'. This lack of acceptance and understanding fuels stigma and self-stigma, and often results in people living with HIV not being tested or presenting for treatment sufficiently early. Visit http://positiveheroes.org.za for more information.
