On this World AIDS Day, we share a 2017 BBC piece that covers Princess Diana’s visit to the first HIV/AIDS unit in London, 1987.
“In front of the world’s media, Princess Diana shook the hand of a man suffering with the illness. She did so without gloves, publicly challenging the notion that HIV/Aids was passed from person to person by touch. She showed in a single gesture that this was a condition needing compassion and understanding, not fear and ignorance.”
