The client HAART held a contest for high school and college students locally to design a poster dealing with the subject of stigma. HAART is an acronymfor HIV/AIDS Alliance for Region Two Inc. The message that they wanted to get across to their audience was that it is okay to talk about AIDS. I focused on how society may view someone with AIDS or HIV and how this may make them feel as though they are forced to be silent on the issue and that they should be shameful of their status. The poster is meant to inspire those who feel oppressed to be quiet to have the courage to speak up and be heard.
