Condition note

Additional poster text: That's why he called us. We always listen. We never judge. We know that family rejection can sometimes be more distressing than the illness. That's why London Lighthouse provides information, care and support for anyone affected by HIV and AIDS. We're still trying to help Derek's family understand. Black or white. Him or her. Young or old. Straight or gay, AIDS doesn't care. We do. We need you to as well.
