HIV: IS KNOW TRANSMITTED IN THESE WAYS!

There are many misconceptions about how HIV is transmitted. These faulty assertions cause fear in the HIV negative public, which can lead to unnecessary stigma towards HIV positive populations.

• Mosquitoes cannot transmit HIV from person to person.
• Being a friend, a hug, or a handshake cannot transmit HIV from one person to another. We will address stigma later, however many HIV positive people have to undergo discrimination on a daily basis because of their HIV status.
• A person cannot contract HIV from sharing a toilet with an HIV positive person.
• HIV is present in saliva in such small quantities that it cannot be transmitted through kissing or sharing a soda.
• Similarly, it cannot be transmitted through mucous or sweat. If someone sneezes on you, you can catch the cold, but you will not contract HIV.

What is HIV/AIDS Stigma?

what is HIV/AIDS stigma?

HIV/AIDS-related stigma is a complex concept that refers to prejudice, discounting, discrediting and discrimination directed at persons perceived to have AIDS or HIV, as well as their partners, friends, families and communities.

HIV/AIDS stigma often reinforces existing social inequalities based on gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality and culture. Stigma against many populations disproportionately affected by HIV has been present for a long time in the US. HIV has compounded the stigma of homosexuality, drug use, poverty, sex work and racial minority status.

HIV/AIDS stigma is a problem in the US and throughout the world. Stigma has been expressed in a variety of ways, including: 1) ostracism, rejection and avoidance of people living with AIDS; 2) discrimination against people living with AIDS by their families, health care professionals, communities and governments; 3) mandatory HIV testing of individuals without prior informed consent or confidentiality protections; 4) quarantine of persons who are HIV infected; and 5) violence against persons who are perceived to have AIDS, be infected with HIV or belong to “high risk groups.”
