'HIV Positive' T-shirts Target Stigma in Chicago

Chicagoans are being invited to buy and wear T-shirts with the words "HIV Positive" on them as part of a yearlong anti-HIV-stigma campaign, the Windy City Times reports. Proceeds will be shared by the Illinois Alliance for Sound AIDS Policy (a project of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago) and a network of AIDS advocates across the state. Campaign participants—both HIV positive and HIV negative—are encouraged to share their encounters while wearing the T-shirts via Facebook.
