Today is #ZeroHIVStigma Day! 💟
Despite our numerous advancements in HIV information, testing, prevention, and treatment—especially with #PrEP, treatment as prevention, and #UEqualsU (Undetectable = Untransmittable)—HIV stigma still persists in the Philippines and in the rest of the world.
More empathy and understanding are needed in the space of HIV. Compassionate action is necessary to stop discrimination, curb the epidemic, and provide desperately needed support, especially for people living with HIV.
We are all affected by HIV. Let’s eliminate HIV stigma to further bridge people to vital healthcare services, provide holistic care, and save lives.
