Title
The Photo That Changed the Face of AIDS
Subject
An iconic photo by Therese Frare was seen all over the world" and changed the public face of AIDS, just as David wanted, said his dad, Bill Kirby.
David died in 1990, and Frare's work with the Kirby family during their son and brother's death also led Frare to photograph Peta (born Patrick Church), the first documented Native American trans person to die from AIDS in 1992.
Peta was a Sioux who lived on the Pine Ridge reservation but died of AIDS in the same caregiving AIDS home, Pater Noster, in Ohio, where he met and cared for David as a volunteer.
