1) q1: what do they look?
show the picture of a father and his son.
(the father looks caring, gentle and energetic and the son gives us an impression of being lovely and cute. they appear so healthy that you would never guess that they are living and dying with aids.)
2) q2: have you ever seen an aids patient? how do they look?
show the students some pictures of aids patients.
(if nothing is done, there is no doubt that all the people infected with aids will be like them, no matter how healthy they are now.)
3) q3: are they bad people? do they deserve it?
show more pictures of people infected with hiv or aids.
(i’m afraid not. like any father, “jeremy is my whole life. every dad dreams of watching his kid grow up and graduate from high school. i never thought that would happen for us because jeremy and i are both hiv positive. but thanks to our new family clinic, we both have access to the treatments we need. now maybe i will see jeremy walk down the aisle with the class of 2017”.[here give the students several minutes to chew and digest these words.] like any 12-year-old child, xiaohua is a happy girl who smiles a lot and likes to talk to her friends after school. however, she has lost her mother and will lose her father and she herself was born dying with aids.)
