Indeed issues of stigma and discrimination are still evident within communities and has continuous derailed all the efforts towards the mitigation of HIV since the early 1980s when it was confirmed that there were people living with HIV. <br /><br />In most instances, the stigma and discrimination is fueled by lack of information about the virus or the conviction that it cant happen to me. This has influenced people to be reluctant to go for an HIV test or even disclosing their HIV status to friends, family members and more so their spouses and partners. <br /><br />Time has come for everyone to take the initiative and make conscious decision to fight stigma and discrimination.
