Hear from the Grantees
In late October 2007, program staff from the five grantee organizations traveled to Washington, DC for a one-day symposium on strategies to combat HIV/AIDS-related stigma in the United States. Staff members from each organization were asked to discuss the following topics:
- How their organizations are working to eliminate HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination in the U.S.;
- Unique challenges related to HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination faced by the communities they serve;
- Key factors that foster HIV/AIDS-related stigma nationally and in the communities they serve; and
- How stigma fosters the spread of HIV/AIDS.
To listen to their responses, please click on the organization name listed under "In This Section" in the right-hand column.
Additionally, staff members from each organization gave a presentation on their organization and its anti-stigma project. Click on the organization's name below to view a video of each presentation or click on their PowerPoint to view the slides.
