Each patch is then combined into a panel of eight which can then be sewn together and added to the full UK quilt.
Eight panels will go on display at the Elm House building in the university’s Moulescoomb campus.
Jess Moriaty, a lecturer at the university who has collaborated on the project, said: “Harry has taught me so much about the people whom the quilt seeks to remember, honour and celebrate.
“The stigma around HIV and Aids hasn’t gone away and I hope lots of people take the time to come and see it in Elm House – it really is full of history, humanity and love.”
