We call on all journalists working with us to adopt the @PeopleFirst_HIV recommendations on the use of language when reporting on #HIV (it could equally apply to #ViralHepatitis #TB
Poorly chosen words can consolidate historical views & attitudes Perpetuate #stigma

💜 Now it's Rachel and Garry from @BAHMemorial: "No one should feel stigma, no one should feel isolation - and the funding needs to be there for peer support." Their grassroots work to bring a literal monument to Brum for those lost to and living with HIV is inspirational. 💛
