Being HIV positive today is completely different from how it was thirty years ago. With a foreword from Scottish Makar Jackie Kay, this anthology collects work from those affected by HIV so they can tell us what it really means to have HIV in Scotland today.
Many of the stories, poems and artworks here emerged from the Positive Stories workshop series and artistic-mentorship scheme organised by HIV Scotland, empowering people to use their own voices to reshape the narrative around HIV and take part in creative activism.
