The photograph I chose is called “The Face of AIDS” taken by Therese Fare, which depicts David Kirby dying of AIDS while surrounded by his family. At a time when AIDS was nothing more than a deadly disease with an unknown cause, this picture put it in a more civil, yet terrifying, form. It shows the struggle Kirby faced and the impact it had on the people close to him. After this picture went viral, it showed that AIDS was more than just devastating for the person fighting it, as it affected all the people around them. With the use of this picture, the AIDS epidemic was one step closer to being understood and contained.
AIDS, also known as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, is a developed stage of the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV.
