In 1764, William Stukeley was one of the first people to suggest that the giant resembled Hercules. [38] In 1938, British archaeologist Stuart Piggott agreed, and suggested that, like Hercules, the giant should also be carrying a lion-skin. [84] [85] In 1979, a resistivity survey was carried out, and together with drill samples, confirmed the presence of the lion-skin. [86] Another resistivity survey in 1995 also found evidence of a cloak and changes to the length of the phallus, but did not find evidence (as rumoured) of a severed head, horns, or symbols between the feet.

For around five years in his 20s, Campillo stopped having sex: not because he feared contracting Aids, but because he was certain that he was already a carrier and didn’t want to infect anyone. “Two or three years before I joined Act Up, I did my first test and [then] I knew I was negative,” he says. “That was something of a relief, of course, because I lived the 1980s thinking that I was going to die, because I was so stupid. I was in a kind of denial.”

That’s the big question indeed,” said Tim. One antiquarian has suggested that he was cut to humiliate Cerne Abbey’s final abbot, Thomas Corton, who was accused in 1539 of fathering children with a mistress. The first cop car arrived just as the reservoir nipple was beginning to rise, a little over seven minutes after we had arrived. We had done it!In 1808, Dorset poet William Holloway published his poem "The Giant of Trendle Hill", [5] in which the Giant is killed by the locals by piercing its heart. In the summer of 1991, it was bugging me that gay and AIDS activists had largely left him alone. Sure, there were thousands of angry words said and written excoriating the man for his hate-filled agenda, but no one got up-close-and-personal with a response. We needed to send a proverbial shot across his bow. Yeah, I was there, that was so funny,” says Campillo, who has tightly cropped silver hair, an aquiline nose and a small, wry smile. “For many, many years, there were two things we wanted to do. We wanted to put a pink condom on the obelisk. The other thing was the red river” – turning the Seine the colour of blood – “which is practically impossible. So we did that with technicians from Benetton and we just got out of the métro to make a demonstration and then we were arrested for many hours.” In loving memory of this special moment in AIDS activism, I’m posting both here for your viewing pleasure.

Working out who it is means working out his original shape,” said Tim. “Archaeological surveys show that the lines today aren’t the same as even 200 years ago.” Despite being openly gay for a decade, before Act Up Campillo had few gay friends. Now he started spending every spare minute with the group. “I don’t have words to say how much it changed my life,” he says. “It’s like I was breathing again and a lot of people were breathing again. The way you can imagine power described by Michel Foucault: an electricity that goes from people to people. And when I did this film, I found this energy again.” The female condom is made up of prelubricated polyurethane sheath which covers introitus in toto. It is effective as a contraceptive as well as protective against HIV/STI with the efficacy of 95% with perfect use and 79% with typical use.[ 2] However, it is less accessible, costly, and not easily available. It has less acceptability as insertion is difficult with nonacceptance by the male partner. It is difficult to procure and difficult to use more so in the Indian context where female literacy is low. Potential for re-use of the female condom must not be overlooked. Campillo remained involved in Act Up-Paris until around 2000. By this point, the treatment of Aids had advanced significantly and the organisation could point to numerous small victories in France: everything from condoms becoming available in schools to free medicine for HIV patients and needle exchanges for drug users. But for Campillo the biggest impact of Act Up was in changing the perception of Aids in the country. “We say to the people and to the government that an epidemic is not only a social issue, it’s a political issue.”
