Photos used to tell HIV/AIDS stories

    JOHANNESBURG
    The World Health Organisation (WHO), together with NGOs, the International HIV/AIDS Alliance and Christian Aid, have launched an online photo essay showing some of the real faces of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Using a set of 13 photo stories, the exhibition depicts "the destruction of lives and families decimated by AIDS", including HIV-positive people from South Africa and Zambia, WHO has said.

The photo stories are featured at www.who.int
