A lot of writers are angry about medical professionals not doing more about tangent or adjacent issues affecting HIV treatment. Doctors, nurses, techs, etc.. provide medical care. That's their job.
Dealing with things outside the clinic such as stigma, isn't their job. Stigma, housing, food scarcity, & other external factors areas for social workers & case managers.
Both groups are important & have massive jobs. But don't expect your physician to help you with strategies to fight stigma. You wouldn't want your social worker prescribing your meds.
Life with HIV, is difficult & can be beyond frustrating. But, aim better. Don't alienate what few resources are out there, because you're upset & scared.
Cya...
