“Positive Heroes stream out messages of hope. I applaud the vision of Positive Heroes and their work in communicating a sustained, large-scale, anti-stigma and normalisation message throughout South Africa and our continent. I urge you to support this campaign of hope for us all, in an era of effective treatment, it is time we all see HIV not as a death sentence but simply as another chronic manageable disease.” Justice Edwin Cameron - Positive Heroes Patron

Positive Heroes draws on the huge power that positive role models living with HIV have to change people’s minds and hearts in the face of an epidemic of silence and shame. We are committed to showing South Africans that HIV is manageable and that testing HIV positive is not a reason to stop living or to give up hope, but rather a powerful incentive to start living life to the full. Our goal is to reduce fear and misinformation surrounding HIV and create an atmosphere of hope and inspiration.
