Science, art, literature and cinema come together to create a project that aims to keep our attention focused on the subject of HIV and the need to prevent the disease. Visitors can admire works by contemporary artists that explore the virus and its terrible consequences, or HIV-related paraphernalia such as Freddy Mercury's stage outfits. They will be able to attend a literary festival organised by Elio Pecora and many other initiatives that climax on World Aids Day (December 1). HIV info Pass is our way of saying that 3,500 new HIV-positive people in Rome each year is just too many! Admission free
