People living with HIV in our communities often face shame, isolation, or fear of disclosure. This stigma increases anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal — and it’s completely preventable.

If World AIDS Day is swept under the carpet, so is #HIV prevention, treatment and care. Result: hiddenness; more infections and greater #HIVstigma

#HIVActionPlan for England: £170m to reduce new diagnoses and re-engage people in care.

But are the targets realistic? Which groups are left out? And why do key parts of the plan appear to be unfunded?

No one told us what life would look like 42 years into HIV/AIDS — because none of us thought we’d still be here to find out. But we are. And if my journey gives someone hope today, then this life still has purpose.

Never surrender. Never forget.

We argue that HIV responses must be more culturally grounded, nuanced, and aware of how people protect their social standing in contexts where sex, morality, and respectability deeply intersect.

Let’s keep the conversation going.

▶️ This shapes HIV talk, health-seeking, and testing decisions.
In short: stigma influences the “unmarked,” too — not just those living with HIV.

Our findings highlight that HIV stigma doesn’t only impact those with a positive diagnosis — it also affects people who don’t have the stigmatized “mark.”
▶️ People modulate their behavior across different life domains to avoid losing social respect.

Using grounded theory, we found that many men who have sex with men and transgender women navigate “management of social standing” — protecting their reputation while deciding if, when, and how to talk about HIV or get tested.

Participatory Development and Concept Testing of mHealth Messaging to Support Care Engagement and Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence for Women Living With HIV in the Southern United States: Focus Group Study Background: Women living with HIV (WLWH) in the Southern United States, or South, face persistent and overlapping challenges to care engagement and antiretroviral therapy adherence, including HIV-related stigma, poverty, and inequitable access to healthcare. While mobile health (mHealth) interventions show promise for enhancing self-management and care engagement among people living with HIV, interventions tailored to WLWH remain limited, particularly those developed through participatory approaches that center their lived experiences. Objective: This study sought to evaluate the acceptability, comprehensibility, and personal relevance of targeted health messages developed for a proposed mHealth application tailored to WLWH in the South. Additionally, it explored participants’ perceptions of the #feasibility and desirability of the proposed intervention. Methods: This study represents Phase 3 of a multi-stage, mixed-methods project. Message content was informed by earlier phases, which included individual interviews, surveys, perceptual mapping with WLWH, and input from a Community/Clinician Advisory Board. In this phase, three focus groups (two virtual, one in-person) were conducted with 30 WLWH recruited from Southern HIV clinics and community organizations. Participants reviewed prototype wireframes and health messages, including SMS-style content, and provided feedback on all content. Data were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Results: Participants expressed strong interest in the proposed mHealth app and emphasized the importance of health messaging that is clear, supportive, and personally meaningful. Four key categories emerged: (1) acceptability of a tailored mHealth app, with participants noting the value of privacy, accessibility, and convenience; (2) acceptability of message content, including preferences for affirming, uplifting language and images; (3) personal relevance, particularly for messages addressing stigma, spirituality, family, and empowerment; and (4) comprehensibility, highlighting the need for plain language and visual clarity. Conclusions: These findings support the development of a tailored mHealth intervention for WLWH in the South. Co-designed messages that center affirmation, spirituality, and real-life challenges were perceived as acceptable, comprehensible, and highly relevant. Future work will focus on refining the content and prototype testing.

"THIS IS HOW HIV/AIDS STIGMA WAS BORN" They called it a “gay plague.”

They called it a “gay plague.”
I call it what it was: a death sentence wrapped in silence and shame.
I lived through it. I’m still standing.
Now read the truth they still don’t want to face:
