About this event
This webinar will cover Stigma in HIV Prevention and Care. This training program fulfills the HIV stigma training requirements outlined in Nevada's Senate Bill 439, which requires healthcare providers to complete a 2-hour HIV stigma training course to renew their license.
HIV stigma refers to irrational or negative attitudes, behaviors, and judgments towards people living with or at risk of HIV. It can negatively affect the health and well-being of people living with HIV by discouraging some individuals from learning their HIV status, accessing treatment, or staying in care. HIV stigma can also affect those at risk of HIV by discouraging them from seeking HIV prevention tools and testing, and from talking openly with their sex partners about safer sex options.
Populations disproportionately affected by HIV are also often affected by stigma due to, among other things, their gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, race/ethnicity, drug use, or sex work. Breaking down HIV stigma is a critical part of ending the HIV epidemic.
