Personal experiences of HIV/AIDS

 The Vancouver Initiative for AIDS Innovation

About 1001 AIDS Stories

Panos Canada has begun collecting stories from people whose lives have been changed by HIV/AIDS. These individual narratives and images, reflecting their personal views, experiences and feelings, will help create an innovative on-line website.

In the project’s pilot phase, the stories will be drawn from Vancouver. Later, the site will be open to contributions from around the world. Over time, we hope it will become an exciting, dynamic and inclusive platform where people can post their AIDS stories, images and comments. It will link to online social networks, engage diverse cultures and communities, be a portal for HIV information and ideas, and act as a hub for AIDS advocacy and support.

1001 AIDS Stories will be a living inventory of HIV-related experiences, a mosaic of words and images buidling a deeper, more nuanced understanding of AIDS today.
