Audio book aims to end childhood AIDS stigma

The UNAIDS China office released on Tuesday The Bravest Boy I Know, a free Chinese-language audio book, to raise awareness and fight AIDS-related discrimination, particularly against children.

Chinese actor Huang Xiaoming, a UNAIDS national goodwill ambassador, provides the voice for central character Xiaoming, an 8-year-old HIV sufferer.

The book tells the story of a friendship between Xiaoming and Xiaoli, who is HIV free, and sends the message that with treatment and support from families, friends and school, children with HIV/AIDS can have a normal and happy childhood.
