If you wonder how pervasive stigma against those with HIV can be, check out this article. This piece details Republican state Rep. Betty Price's opinion on the matter. She's a Georgia state rep from the Atlanta area. She feels quarantining those living with HIV is a viable option.
Let's be clear, this is the U.S. & it's not the 1980's. Yet, the wife of Trump's former Health Secretary Tom Price, feels pushing people off into a hole somewhere to die is a reasonable response to HIV. I'd say she was uneducated, but she's a former anesthesiologist.
This is pure hateful, religious bigotry. Anything they oppose should be killed with fire or something equally painful. Her statements are dangerous & irresponsible.
This is the stigma people with HIV still face in the world, in the U.S. today.
Cya...
