One of our programs, Positive Link, partnered with a local photographer to create a campaign called "Am I? Are You?".  This photographer had approached us when a model he worked with reported becoming HIV+.  The photographer thought to himself, "you can't tell by looking?". While many of us that care about HIV have known that for years, it was striking that the belief that you can tell still exists.  

From that first contact came a photo campaign where 50+ individuals volunteered to have their photo taken -- 25 were HIV+, 25 were HIV-.  There were a few group shots of, for example, young men or couple (male:female; two men)

This was all assembled itno a powerpoint slideshow.  First the photo pops up followed by just a few words, e.g. "I'm a father. I'm a grandfather. I'm 57 years old."  There is then a pause and the words "Am I?" appear followed by a pause again and the words "I am HIV+" OR "I am HIV-" appear. 

The viewer is challenged with each photo in those seemingly long pauses to guess the status of the person based on the stereotypes of age, gender, race, sexual orientation (if the first words "I'm gay" or "I'm heterosexual" are stated), etc. 

The words chosen to describe the person were chosen directly by that person.  We edited a bit just so that there was some consistency in the way in which people described themselves.  We showed the presentation to a broad audience, including many living with HIV, on World AIDS Day and received great feedback.  We have also used hard copy photos with the words over the photo in various educational settings.  Those that view the exhibit are challenged to "guess" who's positive and who isn't -- it is a great way to challenge stereotypes.
