R to @ECDC_EU: The findings of the survey are particularly important as #HIVstigma is linked to negative healthcare outcomes such as delayed care, avoidance of health facilities, and poor adherence to medication, ultimately hampering #HIV prevention and treatment efforts.

R to @ECDC_EU: Understanding how and in which contexts #HIVstigma manifests in healthcare settings is necessary in order to intervene and address individual and institutional drivers of stigma and discrimination towards people living with #HIV.

Yeesh... Nyblade presents on Nyansapo, an interpersonal stigma reduction initiative, adapted from an American '3MV' intervention, which was updated to include the 'genderbread' person. That's super problematic; the GBP encourages people to think that sex is biological and separate from gender, which is mental and cultural. Sex as hardware, gender as software. Trans people as 'mismatched' rather than whole and integral. #hivstigma #lauranyblade
(2) Drivers
- awareness – 'we all stigmatise, often'
- fear and misconceptions
- attitudes
- institutional environment
Three key principles:
1/ centre affected groups
2/ resist overwhelm by addressing *immediately actionable* drivers
3/ engage opinion leaders and create partnerships with affected groups
I'm super excited to be watching Laura Nyblade speak on principles for stigma reduction — a 'total facility' approach. #hivstigma
