The successful actor and producer, Andreas Georgiou he was invited to the “Big Picture” show and referring to the loss of his mother and his childhood injuries that he admits he has not yet overcome, he said:

“I haven’t processed my childhood traumas yet. The subject of AIDS was for many years a taboo. I was given the opportunity in 2005 to come out and talk about this story and say: You know, my mother has died of AIDS, and so have other family members, my father who has passed away, and my little boy brother who is now 33 years old has his own beautiful family with four children»
While he then referred to the situation today:

“Let me say that it is not a deadly virus anymore, but a chronic condition. Today I think that we do not discuss it under the label of “taboo” and the stigma of society. When someone learns that they have AIDS it is not as difficult as it used to be, of course it is shocking at first, just as it is shocking when you learn that they have diabetes. Now the risk and danger of having diabetes is greater than AIDS».

Of course at that time AIDS was a huge taboo. He himself remembers how the world treated them then:
“SCyprus, in the village we were stigmatized, people avoided us, but we were a close family, we stayed united and understood the world and what was happening around uss”

While closing the matter he said: “My mother died aged 36. At one point a relative gave me a photo of her from the age of 30 and I was shocked because I realized that it was a girl my mom, I realized how early she left».
