RE: When People Thought Being Diagnosed With HIV Is A Crime, Not A Disease
Nice work. Its hard to get over the fear of contracting HIV even when you know all the facts. One of my good friends from college was diagnosed with HIV, and I still feel adverse to sharing food/drinks even though I know the risk of infection is nil.
@tking77798, that's a good example of how stigma can affect our behaviour. Knowledge and stigma are two different things. Although it can be really difficult to treat them like the way we are used to but like any other humans even people who are disabled, they have the right for a healthy social interaction too.
