I've talked a lot about the stigma of living with HIV. This article details a lot of these concerns for HIV + people. There have been great strides made in the medical treatment of HIV, but not in the mindsets of the people. This article goes briefly into the concerns, fears & actual cases of discrimination against people for no other reason than their HIV status.
I laugh when people say things are better. Maybe in some places, but not in most. This is another reason I dislike the idea of treatment as prevention, Treatment does nothing to educate or further the understanding of the virus & those living with it. That will only come with active education & communication. No pill can do that.
The article's a good read.
Cya...
