In 1987, Princess Diana opened the UKโ€™s first dedicated HIV/AIDS unit at Londonโ€™s Middles*x Hospital. At a time defined by fear and misinformation, she shook patientsโ€™ hands without gloves, sending a clear message that HIV could not be spread through touch.
Only one patient, 32-year-old Ivan Cohen, agreed to be photographed, asking to be shown from behind to avoid the stigma of being identified. He later chose to come forward publicly, underscoring how powerful that moment was.
