My entry for the AIDS Mythbusters Contest.

I believe that most of the faces in this photo portray a myth about AIDS but the only face I remember from when I took this photo is the one of the kid. His face is everything I need to see each time I hear an HIV and AIDS misconception.

MYTH-AIDS can be spread through casual contact with an HIV infected individual
MYTH-HIV can infect only homosexual men and drug users
MYTH-An HIV-infected mother cannot have children
MYTH-There is no AIDS in Africa. AIDS is nothing more than a new name for old diseases

This was shot in a clinic from northern Uganda.

Daily Deviation"December 1st is World AIDS day. As you know this pandemic is something that has impacted our generation and will impact future generations in ways that we can't quite realize yet and so I feel awareness is important as education and awareness are the only real ways to stop it." - words by Stjoan. About faces and myths by ~nbknew is a very expressive take on the issue of the myths attached to AIDS. Awareness and education are very important, not only to stop aids, but to stop the stigma too!

I liked it before I knew this photo was about AIDS... Before I read the description it was moving, the look in their eyes is great. A great photo anyways, but after seeing it was about AIDS, I guess I expect their looks... I don't know.

Either way great shot.

I have to point this out as it bugs the hell out of me: You contract HIV, you become diagnosed with AIDS after you contract HIV.

I've never heard anyone state the last myth, but it must be along the lines of Nazi's evading the holocaust.

You wouldn't worry so much about what people really thought of you if you knew just how seldom they actually do.

powerful shot. this hits me harder than usual because my dream is to get into the Peace Corps and work in Africa. Their silent faces say so much in this picture. It's also balanced very well, and my eye easily moves from one face to the next all the way down the line. very, very nice capture.
