Reducing HIV & AIDs Stigma: Supporting the Global Effort to reach zero transmissions

Dear Listeners,

World AIDS day is observed every year on December 1st. The World Health Organization Emphasizes that "the world can end AIDS – if everyone’s rights are protected. With human rights at the center, with communities in the lead, the world can end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030". Bermuda, as we observe World AIDS Day let's contribute to ending aids as a public health threat by knowing your status, ending stigma against HIV & AIDS, and advocating for human rights.  

This episode of Bermuda Health-Abets, a podcast where we discuss everything from A to Z on healthy living, is focused on Reducing HIV & AIDs Stigma: Supporting the Global Effort to reach zero transmissions.
#empoweringinformingandmotivating Bermuda residents to live well. 

Our guests this episode are Ann Marie Moore, Sexual and Reproductive Health Program Coordinator, Department of Health Bermuda and Sarah Macadam, CEO at Thames Valley Positive Support Charity (TVPS) in the UK. During this episode Ann Marie & Sarah share with listeners what stigma is, the impact of stigma on persons living with HIV or AIDS, the impact of stigma on reaching the 2030 goal of zero transmission, and defining the you=you statement when it comes to HIV & AIDS. As you tune in consider how you can contribute to ending stigma on HIV & AIDS.
