Anti-Stigma & Discrimination 
 
"Fear is a disease that eats away at logic and makes man inhuman." --Marian Anderson


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