The Psychology Behind HIV Stigma and Homophobia

When people think of HIV stigma and homophobia, they often see them as separate. But psychologically, they share the same roots – fear, shame, and the need to reject what feels uncomfortable or “different.” In this video, I explore how the phrase “gay disease” shaped decades of misunderstanding – and how it still affects the way many LGBTQ+ people experience both their sexuality and their HIV status. We’ll talk about: • why stigma feels like a “second coming out” for many gay men; • how homophobia and HIV stigma mirror each other psychologically; • and what healing actually looks like today.
