Zero HIV Stigma Day
Commemorating the birthday of late South African AIDS activist Prudence Mabele (1971-2017), a consortium of community, medical, and urban health organizations today announced their joint effort to create #ZeroHIVStigmaDay (July 21), a new international awareness day calling attention to the persistent levels of stigma experienced by people living with and affected by HIV.
The four organizations comprising the consortium are NAZ (a UK-based sexual health charity whose services are dedicated to people experiencing better sexual health) and the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC, a global network of clinicians and allied health professional working to end the HIV pandemic), in collaboration with the Global HIV Collaborative and Fast-Track Cities Institute.
