More Than a Diagnosis: The Human Cost of HIV Stigma 📱

Living with HIV is no longer the medical crisis it once was—but the stigma? That’s still doing real harm. In this conversation, I sit down with Cynthia McDonald, a social worker on the front lines, to unpack the human cost of HIV stigma: how misinformation, fear, and judgment affect housing, healthcare access, mental health, relationships, and day-to-day survival for people living with HIV. We talk honestly about where stigma shows up most, why it persists despite modern treatment and U=U science, and what actually helps—both at the individual and systemic level. This isn’t just about a diagnosis; it’s about dignity, compassion, and the real lives impacted when stigma goes unchallenged. #HIV #hivpositive #livingwithhiv #doctor #medicine #doctorexplains #socialwork #socialworker #stigma #infectiousdisease #aids
