The biggest problem facing people living with HIV is not the infection itself. The challenge is the alienation and loneliness that infected people experience when they admit they have the disease. The apparent acceptance, the apparent smile, and in reality, the change in behavior. We don’t want to work with seropositive people, use the same cutlery, shake their hand. It is easier to recover from HIV than it is to return to society. The infection can be controlled with medication and function with the disease into old age, but there is no cure for ostracism. “HIV is still associated in Poland with prostitution, homosexuality and drugs. “Normal” people believe that HIV does not affect them and have little knowledge, so it is not uncommon for them to react with fear when they learn of someone’s infection (Stigma Index, 2011).”
showing how ignorance about the ways of infection alienates people with HIV from society
Eliminating prejudice against seropositive people
Increase awareness of safety of contact with infected
Sensitizing journalists to the way the issue is presented and the language used in this context
The campaign was aimed at healthy adults with active lifestyles, residents of large cities. The face of the campaign, for the first time in Poland, became a seropositive person – KASIA – an actively living young psychologist. We focused our communication activities around the heroine of the campaign, a representative of the group of infected people: a young, educated, active woman, speaking openly about her life, showing its positive aspects. We recommended such communication channels to allow interaction and direct contact with carriers – these were the Internet, social media, urban actions, activities in schools – supported by media activity and educational materials. Enabling sincere conversation with infected people, establishing relationships with them was supposed to change the stereotypical perception of seropositive people and show that it is safe to interact with them.
