Today on #ZeroDiscriminationDay, the numbers by @UNAIDS demand we pay attention: 🔴 1 in 4 people living with HIV face discrimination in healthcare settings 🔴 85% experience internalized stigma 🔴 38% feel ashamed of their status HIV stigma isn’t a side issue; it’s a barrier to ending AIDS by 2030. Healthcare should heal, not harm. Communities should include, not exclude. Progress starts when we put people first. #ZeroDiscriminationDay #EndAIDS #UNAIDS #questprowomenfoundation
