Simon Daniels was a young gay man diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1993. Prior to his diagnosis, he worked as a restaurant manager and was actively involved in acting as well as HIV/AIDS activism. In addition to these pursuits, Simon became a writer, sharing his personal experiences through his diary entries in a regular column titled Positively Speaking for the Hull Daily Mail. Simon’s candid reflections provided a powerful and intimate insight into living with the illness, raising awareness and fostering understanding during a challenging time.
Thirty years on, much has changed in the science and treatment of HIV/AIDS, with advancements in medications turning what was once a fatal diagnosis into a manageable chronic condition. Despite this progress, the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS remains painfully persistent. While a growing number of people have become educated about the virus, many continue to harbour the ignorance and fear rooted in the 1980s and 1990s. Simon’s legacy endures as a vital insight into the lived experience of HIV/AIDS, reminding us that beyond medical breakthroughs, societal attitudes must evolve to truly support those infected and affected.
