Reducing HIV stigma and discrimination: a critical part of national AIDS programmes
This document presents strategies, program examples and research findings about how governments, the UN system, donors and civil society can make the reduction of HIV-related stigma and discrimination central in national responses to HIV/AIDS. Development partners – as they support national authorities and civil society partners in scaling up toward universal access – can inspire greater political, financial and programmatic commitment to address stigma and discrimination in national AIDS responses.
