abstract: The image shows a body map created by a young HIV-positive African woman living in Belgium. It was created as part of a body-mapping workshop with 10 sub-Saharan African migrants living with HIV. The short text provided with the image describes experiences and results of this workshop. The participants experienced body-mapping as a valuable tool in coping with HIV and it supported them in disclosing HIV to others.
