Anti-Stigma & Discrimination

The stigma and discrimination faced by people with HIV/AIDS cripple communities and nations almost as much as the virus itself. But a “social vaccine” for HIV/AIDS is well within reach. Working closely with partners around the world, AED develops strategies and programs that eradicate ignorance, encourage acceptance and compassion, and erase barriers to prevention and treatment.
