The Positive Speakers Guide is a strategic resource developed to challenge societal stigma and transform contemporary attitudes toward HIV. At its heart, the guide centres on the authentic lived experiences of people living with HIV, using the power of shared storytelling to foster empathy and understanding.

Design process

• The resource was tailored for two primary goals: Positive Speakers preparing to share their journeys and advocate for change within HIV law, policy, and practice.

• The design process focused on creating a layout that balanced sensitive personal narratives with practical guidance, ensuring the stories remained the focal point while providing a professional framework for advocacy.
