The signs are hard to miss.
Exit a Muni train at the Castro station, and the wall-sized posters are greeting you as the doors slide open. The message – it is time to start talking about HIV and AIDS. Or, as Vincent Fuqua, program coordinator for the San Francisco Department of Public Health put it, „find our voice again.“
„As long as people are still becoming infected with HIV, as long as people are still HIV-positive,“ Fuqua said, „it’s still a part of us.“
