"Since HIV was first identified a quarter of a century ago, it has been a stigmatised disease, resulting in silence and denial. Everyday someone with HIV experiences discrimination at work, in healthcare and among family and friends. Stigma discourages people from testing for HIV or disclosing their status to their partner, which fuels the spread of the disease."
