Labels are for Cans Workshop, Stigma and Stereotyping of HIV/AIDS by Tasha Riley

As part of AIDS Vancouver We Care Red Ribbon Month a series of presentations exploring the current reality of HIV/AIDS were given by Dr. Tasha Riley, Prevention and Education Coordinator for AIDS Vancouver.

The workshop, "Labels are for Cans: HIV, Stigma and Stereotyping" , originally took place Nov 9, 2010, during the We Care Red Ribbon Campaign in collaboration with the University of British Columbia Continuing Studies in downtown Vancouver.

Workshop Synopsis:
This session tracks some of more widely publicized cases of HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination in North America and around the world since the early 1980s. The impact of such events is considered, and how individuals and communities living with or affected by the virus have joined together to counteract the ignorance that still exists today.
