[Viva] stigma video

[Kath Webster]

Hi Denise and others,

Stigma is a huge topic for me at 8 am but so glad it's being raised here in the Viva circle!  Will think on your questions more but for now, here is an article on Stigma that I recently wrote for the Positive Side:

I had to recently quit a hairdresser because she was doing my hair on two separate occasions and talked about HIV+ people as getting it because they were "promiscuous". Little did she know she had her hands on the hair of someone with HIV!

>> 
>> A new Canadian video featuring two well known poz advocates explores what HIV Stigma looks like. Produced by Universities Without Walls, the Ontario HIV Network (OHTN) It's hurtful to those of us living with HIV, it's unfair and it contributes to the spread of HIV. These are three good reasons why we need to understand HIV stigma's role, how we stop or at least reduce it and track our progress in doing so.
>> 
>> In the video, Muluba Habanyama and Francisco Ibanez-Carrasco, both working on a current HIV stigma study, explain the basics. It's a good primer; we all talk about stigma (a LOT) but don't always stop to pare it down, to think about its various forms, their impact and why they need to be challenged.
