But there are exceptions of course.
Gayatri Natrajan, 27, a speech and drama teacher,one of the many young professionals who are also part of the campaign, recalls how a woman at the rest room of a mall screamed at her and asked her to leave when she saw her with the HIV Positive T-shirt. “I tried to reason with her but she just wouldn’t listen. That’s okay we expect this kind of reaction and it just shows how badly this campaign is needed in the city,” says the dauntless Natrajan.
But maybe there is hope yet. As Natrajan reaffirms, giving the incidence of her 50-year- old mother who after being shocked when she saw her daughter wear the HIV Positive message on her T-shirt the first time, now sports one when she goes for her yoga class. These are positive signs indeed.
