The real struggle is stigma the social stigma . people with hiv mostly faces discrimination in healthcare, workplace, and even in their families. Many stay silent because of the fear of rejection , avoid testing and missing the timely treatment.

Compassion care can change anything and this too. If healthcare systems, government, and communities treat people with kindness and understanding , it encourages the individual to come forward for testing , speak up, and seek help.

Most media majorly dramatised the stigma associated with HIV, and it’s high time we change that! HIV is a social stigma that needs to be discussed and addressed everywhere.
