TALKING STIGMA
Listening to and amplifying community voices
HIV in View provides a platform for honest conversations around living with HIV and the stigma and discrimination that pervades. Through lived experiences and insights, we have worked with community voices to focus on different aspects of stigma and uncover how we can start to break this down as a united front. Our videos touch on important aspects of social justice and policy, the impact of misrepresentation, and the importance of education and awareness campaigns in shifting unconscious bias that fuels HIV stigma.
