I work with HIV Modernization Movement – Indiana, which seeks to modernize Indiana’s HIV criminal and related public health laws. We celebrated Zero HIV Stigma Day this year with a special event on HIV stigma, sharing stories of how stigma shows up for Hoosiers living with HIV.
Zero HIV Stigma Day, observed annually on July 21st, is dedicated to reflection, education, and action against HIV stigma. This day highlights the harmful effects of HIV-related stigma on our society, particularly the barriers it creates to equitable access to life-saving care. It also serves as a rallying call for our communities to renew their commitment to protecting the dignity and well-being of every individual affected by HIV, regardless of their status.
We asked everyone who attended to share why they attended this year’s event. We used this as part of an interactive art exhibit on HIV stigma. There were other questions as part of this HIV Stigma Clothesline exhibit – I’ll post those later.
