A Global Perspective in HIV Critical Thinking Summary
1. Summarize Bob?s story as it relates to HIV, OR summarize two individuals? stories of your choice from The Positive Project. Each summary (one for Bob, two for the PP) should be one paragraph and include how the individual acquired HIV, if he or she is healthy according to WHO?s definition of health, and your impression of the individual?s quality of life.
2. The mission of The Positive Project is: ?To use the stories of people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS
to raise awareness, reduce stigma, promote prevention, encourage testing, and enhance care and
quality of life,? as is the mission the Bob?s talk. Do you think this mission is being carried out by
whichever opportunity you observed (i.e., The Positive Project, Bob)? Why or why not?
3. Is it possible for a person to live with HIV and not have it define his or her life? Why or why not? Does
where an HIV+ individual live in the world influence the answer to this question? Why or why not?
Providing examples may be helpful when answering this question.
4. How does the virus that causes AIDS not discriminate? In other words, who is at risk for HIV infection?
