Due to the disease's prevalence among gay men, some newspapers have called it the gay plague, and homophobic attacks have risen.
Although it's known in the 80s that the virus spreads through bodily fluids, hysteria and misinformation has caused many people to fear even touching someone infected with HIV.
So Diana's choice not to wear gloves is significant and it does not go unnoticed.
Soon a plaque is unveiled to mark the opening of the ward, and then cameras record as Diana intentionally shakes hands with doctors and nurses that have been working closely with AIDS patients.
But Diana notices something missing in the ward.
As they walk from room to room, all the hospital beds are empty.
She turns to ask one of the doctors about the patients.
The doctor tells her that due to the stigma, none of the patients wanted to be in photos or videos of the ward.
They fear that being recognized could lead them to being attacked.
Hearing this, Diana asks to be taken privately to meet those who are being treated.
After all, they are who the ward is for.
So, with no press present, Diana talks with some of the HIV positive patients.
She asks them about what they are experiencing and listens attentively to their answers.
After talking for a while, she asks if any of them would be willing to help her with something.
Her mission is to help destigmatize AIDS, and she has an idea.
A few minutes later, a soul photographer is led into the room.
Diana sits across from one of the patients, a middle aged man.
He's dying, and perhaps because of this he agrees to have his picture taken with Diana.
He only requests that his face is not shown.
The photographer agrees and frames Diana in an over the shoulder shot of the sick patient.
