Testimony Map

This section is designed to share individuals' inspirational stories of addressing and overcoming HIV/AIDS-related stigma in their personal lives and/or within their communities.  Below is a map of the United States and audio files from individuals answering one of the following questions:

  • How has HIV/AIDS-related stigma affected your life or work?
  • How did the stigma and discrimination you felt affect you personally? And, what are some things you did to overcome and combat stigma?
  • How does HIV/AIDS-related stigma affect the communities you serve?
  • What do you think is the most effective way to combat stigma and discrimination?

More stories will be added over time as we visit additional states and communities.
