AIDS: The Lost Voices
Simon Daniels was 32 when he received the diagnosis of AIDS in October 1993, a period marked by widespread fear and misinformation. Hailing from Hull, East Yorkshire, he bravely documented his experience through a diary, which was published in the Hull Daily Mail. His candid and heartfelt reflections offered a rare and invaluable perspective on the challenges endured by those living with AIDS.
