 Today is Zero HIV Stigma Day and HIV stigma is a global health challenge that costs lives. The theme this year is human first. We are not infected. We are not afflicted. We are not criminals. We are not a blight on society. We are not punished for our sins. We are not a threat to you or anyone else. We are human first. Living, thriving with a chronic manageable condition and untransmittable when undetectable if we can get access to the care and support that we need which we can only do working together to end stigma.
