Zero HIV Stigma Day is on July 21st. This day represents a larger movement to unite people, raise awareness, and take action against HIV stigma. This year’s theme, “Beyond Labels: Redefining HIV Narratives,” seeks to reshape perceptions, inspire empathy, and drive collective action toward a world free from HIV-related stigma. By amplifying diverse voices and stories, this day strives to create a more compassionate and inclusive society for all.
