Forgive me. I'm not trying to be glib and I don't know that she's ever released this piece of info *if* it is in fact true, but when Annie was performing "Why?" on the ABC 2 hr. Live 8 highlight show, there was a video playing with something along the lines of: "[b]Every person[/b] you see in this film is HIV+..." And along with all the Africans with HIV/AIDS who followed, she was in the film.

If this is already public info and I've just been in the dark, I apologize for my ignorance. If not, and I'm interpreting the preface to the film correctly, then I'm floored.

I didn't think about it when I saw that in the highlights show. I've never heard anything about it. I'd err on the side of not though.

Yet another reason the American coverage of this show sucked... The film apparently said: "Every single person in this film is HIV+, *except Annie Lennox*". Would have been nice if ABC hadn't cut away at that point to another shot. [:(!]
