A woman whose picture was used in an HIV ad campaign without her knowledge has been awarded $125,000 in damages. Avril Nolan, who does not have HIV, was left “devastated” when a friend sent her the newspaper advert showing her face with the slogan: “I AM POSITIVE.”

When she contacted the campaign group through the photographer, the group said it wouldn't remove the image until she confirmed she wouldn’t hold it liable for the use of her image.!!!
