Cuba providing gender-affirming care, particularly since 2008 when the Ministry of Public Health issued Resolution 126, ensuring comprehensive coverage for gender confirmation surgeries and hormonal treatments within the national healthcare system. More recently, in 2022, Cuba further progressed by allowing transgender individuals to change their gender marker on official documents without requiring prior surgery. This recent change in the Civil Registry Law allows for self-determination of gender identity on official documents.

Today is zero stigma day .

HIV stigma and discrimination affect the emotional well-being and mental health of people living with HIV. People living with HIV often internalize the stigma they experience and begin to develop a negative self-image. They may fear they will be discriminated against or judged negatively if their HIV status is revealed.

“Internalized stigma” or “self-stigma” happens when a person takes in the negative ideas and stereotypes about people living with HIV and start to apply them to themselves. HIV internalized stigma can lead to feelings of shame, fear of disclosure, isolation, and despair. These feelings can keep people from getting tested and treated for HIV.
