Lets Nail HIV Stigma 2019
Paint one, or all of your nails red, or some Red Ribbon nail art from 29/11 - 1/12 in honor of world AIDS day Dec 1 2019. Eyes Open.
Hope everyone had a brilliant Pride in Newcastle this weekend, great to see @BlueSkyTrust educating people with some facts about HIV and myth busting- the lack of knowledge the faced shows how vital education is!
Upcoming Work by Eyes Open
Eyes Open with the support of North East & North Cumbria HIV Network will be producing a regional leaflet promoting health and wellbeing services available across the area plus information on the importance of testing and other #HIV facts & information.
One of our HIV champions says "we still have a long way to go before stigma against people living with HIV is a thing of the past & I wanted to be proactive in helping that cause. The HIV Champion scheme is a really simple but effective way to play my part in educating others."
Stigma stems from ignorance and lack of knowledge, but it's also deep set and passed on through families and friends. Challenge stigma when you hear it!
