Through our short film Love Ends Stigma, we want to show the world how powerful love, support, and acceptance are in dismantling the stigma surrounding HIV. When people living with HIV are embraced by those closest to them, HIV becomes part of the life journey, not a barrier to living freely, joyfully, and with dignity.
Stigma ends where empathy begins.

Zero HIV Stigma Day is a global grassroots campaign dedicated to ending the stigma around HIV through awareness, education, visibility, and action. We know that to end new transmissions of HIV and to ensure people living with HIV can live safely and freely, we must end stigma once and for all. Stigma remains the single greatest barrier to ending HIV, undermining testing, treatment, and care, while fuelling fear, silence, and systemic exclusion.
