Some items to share in recognition of
World AIDS Day:
Award-winning Getty Images photographer
Brent
Stirton has
curated an amazing selection of photos he shot around the globe of people living
with HIV/AIDS.
Capturing both hope and tragedy, Stirton
shows the many faces and circumstances of those living with the disease. AOL
spoke with the photographer and we've added his audio narration to each of the
images. Get the story behind the photos -- like this one of a male prostitute in
China -- in the photographer's own words.

Metro Weekly posts the stories of four Washingtonians living with HIV:
''One person says a gay person is bad, then gay people cause AIDS. That's the thinking in some people's minds. It doesn't matter if you're gay or straight. It matters if you're having unprotected sex, regardless of how you identify.''Clickto Read 'It Starts with Human'
