Many believed it could be spread through touch, leading to widespread discrimination and isolation for those living with the illness. On April 19, 1987, Princess Diana, one of the most influential figures of her time, changed perceptions forever. At the opening of the UK’s first dedicated HIV/AIDS treatment unit, she shook hands with an AIDS patient 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔. This single act of compassion and courage broke barriers, challenged stigma, and transformed how people viewed the disease. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬?
