Fighting HIV Stigma

posted: 15/12/2009

Our website has a whole new page of information and resources about HIV stigma and discrimination to support campaigns to cut HIV stigma.

HIV stigma is a key issue because it affects not only the lives of people living with HIV, but also whether people talk about HIV, how well people take care of their sexual health, whether people get tested, collect the test results (or not), how people cope with diagnosis, decide about treatment, and in dozens of other ways.
 

HIV stigma is one of the major challenges society faces in dealing with HIV. The better we deal with HIV stigma, the better our chances of supporting people living with HIV successfully and for managing the HIV epidemic here and abroad.
 

We have trawled the web for the best of what is available and have now added a new page of HIV Stigma Studies and Resources.
