Social ills against people living with HIV

Social ills against people living with HIV

Although, our understanding about HIV/AIDS, its transmission, and its management has 
greatly increased, social attitudes towards people with HIV/AIDS has largely remained the 
same. The fear surrounding the virus hasn’t faded and this is driven by the fact that people 
still seem to be unaware of the ways in which HIV is transmitted. Intense stigma and 
discrimination, mostly triggered by this fear, are some of the greatest challenges faced by 
people living with HIV and this has made life miserable for them.
