July 21 is HIV Zero Stigma Day. HIV stigma remains one of the biggest barriers to health equity, safety, and support for people living with and affected by HIV. It isolates, it silences, and it deepens inequalities.
But, it doesn't have to!

This Zero HIV Stigma Day, we're asking you to stand with us and here’s how you can take meaningful action:
• Lead with love – Reaffirm your kindness and compassion when someone shares their HIV status;
• Listen without judgment – Acknowledge the courage it takes to speak up;
• Speak out – Use your voice to challenge stereotypes and misinformation;
• Think intersectionally – Recognize that HIV stigma can be tied to systemic issues like racism, poverty, housing insecurity, and more;
• Support efforts to decriminalize HIV and challenge harmful laws that fuel stigma and discrimination;
• Share this post & commit to fighting stigma. Tag 3 friends who should join the movement!

Stigma thrives in silence. Let's be louder. Let’s build a world where everyone feels seen, supported, and safe.

Let’s unite to end HIV stigma — not just on July 21, but every day.
