Every July 21, we recognize Zero HIV Stigma Day, a global movement uniting people, communities, and countries to raise awareness about HIV stigma and take action against it.

Despite incredible advancements in treatment and prevention, HIV stigma still creates barriers to accessing health care and supportive services. This stigma is compounded for people who experience multiple intersections of marginalization, such as people of color, q***r and trans people, people with disabilities, s*x workers, and people who use drugs.

This year's theme, “Awareness to Action: Our Path to 2030," calls on everyone from individuals to institutions to take part in moving beyond awareness and taking real action to eliminate HIV stigma.

Anchor Health is committed to destigmatising HIV and building a future where all people receive the compassionate, comprehensive, and equitable health care they deserve. ❤️
