Abstract

HIV/AIDS epidemic has affected the world in many ways since the 1980s. Community dynamics and people interaction is only one parameter that has been harmed and continues to be a public health problem. Stigmatization against people living with HIV increases depression and decreases treatment success, representing a current challenge for the world and the UNAIDS goal to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. The multidisciplinary approach works fighting stigma in communities; education, increase the availability of testing and treatment, more staff support, and counseling are some effective interventions.
