Klappentext
The HIV epidemic has cast a long shadow for decades, impacting millions of lives worldwide. While advancements in treatment have transformed HIV from a terminal illness to a manageable condition, a significant barrier remains: stigma. This pervasive negativity surrounding HIV isolates individuals, discourages testing and treatment, and fuels the epidemic's persistence. To truly end HIV, we must break the chains of stigma and foster a world of understanding, empathy, and support.The Grip of Stigma
Stigma thrives on fear and misinformation. Misconceptions about transmission fuel anxieties, leading to social isolation and discrimination. People living with HIV (PLWH) may face rejection from loved ones, difficulties in employment, housing, and healthcare access. This fear of rejection can prevent people from getting tested, delaying critical treatment and increasing the risk of transmitting the virus unknowingly.
