Stigma, when associated with HIV, another medical condition, mental illness or disability, prevents a person from seeking evaluation and treatment, disclosing the diagnosis to those most likely to provide support, and following treatment guidelines. Health related stigma destroys human dignity.

“It gets better every year”
“Young panelists were fierce for being open, honest, and well informed”
“Glorious passion around stigma reduction”
“I liked the combination of scientific research and personal stories, because the former provided evidence to change policy while the latter was the human element that changes hearts”
