A resident of Brooklyn Avril Nolan found themselves in a social advertising company in the care of patients with HIV. Her face was used as the main and was accompanied by the slogans «I’m positive» and «I Have rights». Resolution of this she was never asked, and anyway Avril Nolan has nothing to do with this disease.
20-year-old model Avril Nolan found out about the incident from the post your friend on Facebook. He sincerely sympathized with her, thinking that she is terminally ill. Others began to send her cards on HIV and AIDS. But many, including young people who not only felt sorry for her Avril, but have to avoid it. One of them said directly that he was afraid «something to Bang».
The girl addressed the court, saying that the Division for human rights, who organized an advertising company, they have caused damage. It was not only about the moral suffering and damage to personal relationships, but also about the professional damage. According to the model, linking her image to the HIV and harmed not only its relations with employers and agencies, but its design store. In addition, Avril said that in society a negative attitude towards people with HIV, and consider them immoral because of what she suffered additional psychological trauma. Just a girl from Brooklyn has counted $1.5 million damage and required to reimburse.

For several years the court was held in several instances. For a start, we decided that if society believes people with HIV are immoral, then you cannot assume that is caused damage to the model due to some individuals whose views do not coincide with the standard. Secondly, I decided that if Avril Nolan is not engaged in professional activities requiring direct contact with people and information about her disease can not pay her professional damage. It would be possible to say, if she were, for example, a salesman or a school teacher, and the consequences of the capitalisation of its creative image to a theme were compared with edamame actors starring in specific roles and then suffering from a lack of new roles.
In the end, the judge concluded that the Division for human rights blame only on $125 thousand, which agreed to pay the injured model.
The history of errors with «the face of HIV 2013» is reproduced , the New York Post: Avril Nolan modeled for a friend photographer, who was shooting for an online music publication. Later, the photographer sold her pictures of Getty Images, which had an agreement with Nolan. Employee of the Department of human rights, responsible for advertising and taking pictures of her in the Bank, Getty Images, ignored the license agreement, stating that the image of Nolan can be used in «unflattering or controversial» campaign.
