Stefan Baral speaking at the final plenary at #SAAIDS2019 'U=U is a fundamental truth'

[TB HIV Care @TBHIVCare]

T1 Stigma has a huge impact, people are reluctant to disclose and may not want their partners or families to know their HIV status #SAAIDS2019 #TBHIVCare

[TB HIV Care @TBHIVCare]

T1 Fear of stigma, in turn, can affect one’s ability to take treatment if it has to be done in secret #SAAIDS2019 #TBHIVCare

[TB HIV Care @TBHIVCare]

T1 One of the worst forms and results of stigma is gender-based violence against a partner who discloses an HIV positive status #SAAIDS2019 #TBHIVCare

[TB HIV Care @TBHIVCare]

T1 Some of our staff suggest that internal stigma & fear of stigma is higher in younger age groups #SAAIDS2019 #TBHIVCare

[TB HIV Care @TBHIVCare]

T2 Stigma was very pronounced in the early years of HIV, when treatment options were not readily available. So fear a factor? #SAAIDS2019 #TBHIVCare

[TB HIV Care @TBHIVCare]

T2 Community dialogues show that myths & misinformation around HIV still persist – despite increased awareness about HIV #SAAIDS2019 #TBHIVCare

[TB HIV Care @TBHIVCare]

T2 Gender inequality & prejudice against marginalised & vulnerable populations is still a reality & drives stigma #SAAIDS2019 #TBHIVCare

[TB HIV Care @TBHIVCare]

T3 It has to be addressed on multiple levels, incl. structural programmes that address gender inequity, legal resources, information etc. #SAAIDS2019 #TBHIVCare

[TB HIV Care @TBHIVCare]

T3 What about the role of 'ambassadors' - people who publicly share their stories. That can be a valuable tool in addressing certain beliefs about who can be affected. #SAAIDS2019 #TBHIVCare

[TB HIV Care @TBHIVCare]
