I have seen deaths of different causes, relatable and nonrelatable but one thing remains totally strange to me; which is,,
“they were all related to the same symptoms of poverty.”
InsiderNotes
And in all these mile experiences, what could be wrong? Well let's find out:
At the beginning of the century, 1.7 million people died from #HIV/AIDS annually.
Today, the landscape looks drastically different, with 2021 recording 650,000 HIV-related deaths.
This data reveals a 65% drop since the epidemic’s peak in 2004, but it also shows that hundreds of thousands of people are still dying from a preventable and treatable illness.
But stigma is another reason why more than 1 million new people continue to get HIV annually.
HIV-related stigma can stem from the community, the health care system, or individuals themselves.
But regardless of its source, its impact is the same.
“Even up to this day, HIV-related stigma is one of the biggest challenges that we are still trying to work on, and that keeps people from accessing support, care, prevention, and treatment,”
Winnie Sseruma
Winnie Sseruma, a UK-based activist who has been living with HIV for more than three decades, told Global Citizen.
Public awareness campaigns, support from within the HIV/AIDS community, and increased access to treatment have all helped to reduce stigma over the last 30 years.
But communities around the world, especially marginalized ones, continue to feel its impact.
