July 21 has been chosen as Zero HIV Stigma Day, a national observance that globally raises awareness about HIV stigma. Living with HIV can be challenging on its own, but the added burden of societal discrimination and stigma can make life even more difficult for those affected. The aim of Zero HIV Stigma Day is to empower individuals living with HIV, their loved ones, and the wider community to engage in open, honest conversations, challenge misconceptions, and create an inclusive society free from stigma.

That’s THINK, in my comment.
Challenging HIV stigma is a crucial step in combating discrimination and promoting equality for individuals living with HIV. To address this issue effectively, it’s essential to start with self-reflection and examine the sources of HIV stigma in our own lives. By critically evaluating our beliefs and assumptions surrounding HIV, we can begin to unlearn and challenge the stigma at an individual level. This self-reflection allows us to better understand the damaging effects of HIV stigma and its impact on the lives of those affected. It enables us to identify any biases or prejudices we may hold, which in turn empowers us to actively combat discrimination and create a more inclusive society.
Sorry, HIV is a DEADLY virus which, even with treatment, does a major number on the body and shortens life. I'll harbor as much JUSTIFIED stigma as that fact warrants.
There.
The faggies should know that the way to avoid catching HIV is to sit on their butts and keep their mouths shut!

A total lack of shame and stigma is exactly what has killed millions from HIV and spread the disease in the first place.
Bullying people into silence is their method for zero stigma. So they can kid themselves there is no stigma.
So far not successful at making the world shut up.

I’m glad I was too busy to notice this very special day.
Same here. If I had known, I would have celebrated by demonstrating some stigma for them.
The ones shouting the loudest about ‘stigma’ are the ones who trumpet their ‘HIV-positive’ status from the rooftops.
“I have HIV. Talk about me. Feed me. Want me. Accept meeeee!!!!!!!”
"- Believing that only certain groups of people can get HIV."
This is a common debate fallacy used by these degenerates.
Of course, anyone can get HIV. If you're a biological human, the virus can take up residence in your body under specific circumstance. But only certain groups of people DO catch HIV, by virtue of chosen BEHAVIORS they engage in.
As a result, 1 in 6 faggies have a lifetime positive risk for contracting this.
The average heterosexual man in a faithful union with his wife has virtually ZERO risk, even without taking the artificial precautions considered presumed for the at-risk groups.
So, there's that.
Same as bullying people into using the word "Gay" instead of homosexual because they can kid themselves that they are not really homosexual.
Lawton area businesses and venues are majorly influenced by whatever the current trends might be at Fort Sill. If you see a trend at a major Lawton hospital then you can bank on it emanating from the Fort Sill C/O.
You’d think the military would traditionally ignore this sh*t. But not anymore.
