WhoCanYouTell

WhoCanYouTell Our Vision: To be a ‘HUB’ for research, advocacy, training, and education to combat health-related stigma through a social justice and health equity lens.

Stigma is the devaluation of a person because of an attribute such as an illness or disability, or a condition such as poverty or incarceration. Stigma shrouds affected individuals in fear, blame and shame, and becomes a major barrier to access and linkage with health care. Hence, stigma is a major cause of health inequities. Social determinants of health often affect health outcomes through stigm

a, magnifying disparities. Addressing health care disparities is a major goal of the United States Health and Human Services initiative, “Healthy People 2030” and is an integral part of Howard University College of Medicine’s mission.

Being diagnosed with is lifechanging. Finding the right doctor can be a matter of life or death, but what happens when your caring doctor can no longer treat you? Afrekete shares her story to help others like her.
💻https://loom.ly/5O7JjNs

By Afrekete* Recently, when my trusted doctor retired, it stirred emotions that I was not prepared for. As a Black woman aging with HIV, losing a provider who had become part of my healing journey felt like a gut punch, because I did not always have compassionate care. After I was first diagnosed, I...

Awareness and testing are truly lifesavers! 🩺💖 Many individuals living with HIV don’t even know their status, which often leads to delayed care and increases the risk of unknowingly transmitting the virus to others. This is why regular HIV testing is so crucial. You have the power to protect yourself and those you love by making testing a regular part of your healthcare routine. Every test counts and every voice matters! v💪🏾🌟

Our Story

The Howard Stigma Project believes it's time to have an honest conversation about the attitude that spreads HIV/AIDS, Stigma. HIV/AIDS has come a long way in the last 30 years, with lots of medication to treat the virus, research for cures, thousands of education and condom distribution programs and a generational awareness. However, the disease keeps spreading globally. It is our belief that we need to include stigma into every conversation, prevention method and research about HIV/AIDS. It is time to have a different conversation about HIV/AIDS and other health-related stigma.
