Stigma is a common element. People with AIDS are often shunned and discriminated against, like in the story where a person was fired from his job just because he had AIDS. Another element is the rapid decline in health. As the immune system weakens, sufferers face multiple infections and diseases, which can be really terrifying.

Prevention is key. Firstly, practicing safe sex by using condoms consistently. This simple measure can greatly reduce the risk of HIV transmission.

Early detection allows for early treatment and also helps in preventing further spread.

These graphic novels often tell real - life stories. By sharing these stories, they humanize those with AIDS. People can see that they are just like anyone else, with dreams and hopes. This helps break down the stigma that is still often associated with the disease. For instance, a graphic novel might show a character with AIDS going to work, having friends, and living a normal life despite the illness. It also can spread accurate information about how AIDS is transmitted, how to prevent it, and the importance of treatment. In a more engaging and memorable format than a dry medical brochure.
