Anonymous HIV Testing - Description:
- Looking from the side across a crowd of people holding signs over their heads. The people and the signs are facing the left; they exceed the bounds of the frame, giving the impression that the dozens pictured are only part of the crowd. Most of the protesters seem to be light skinned men with bare arms. Some signs are handmade, but many are printed and read "Deadlier than the Virus - Stephen C. Joseph, Commissioner of Health NYC" with a picture of Joseph's bearded face on the left.
