The Stories of the People from "The Picture That Changed the Face of AIDS" 

Called "the picture that changed the face of AIDS," photographer Therese Frare’s image of David Kirby on his deathbed surrounded by his family has received international recognition and acclaim. The 1990 photo was vital in humanizing AIDS patients to the broader public in the height of the AIDS crisis.
But there’s a deeper story here with another important individual who was actually Frare’s subject for a long term series on AIDS. Their name was Peta, and in this video, we learn their story and connection to David Kirby, and later Kirby’s parents Bill & Kay.
