AIDS stigma often is coupled with racism, homophobia, or misogyny. Often the stigma is fueled by the belief that all individuals who have HIV or AIDS engage in socially unacceptable activities such as prostitution or drug use. Former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon says: “Stigma remains the single most important barrier to public action. It is a main reason why too many people are afraid to see a doctor to determine whether they have the disease, or to seek treatment if so. It helps make AIDS the silent killer, because people fear the social disgrace of speaking about it, or taking easily available precautions. Stigma is a chief reason why the AIDS epidemic continues to devastate societies around the world.” The consequences of stigma and discrimination are wide-ranging.

This fear, coupled with many other reasons, means that lots of people falsely believe: HIV and AIDS are always associated with death. HIV is associated with behaviors that some people disapprove of (like homosexuality, drug use, sex work, or infidelity). HIV is only transmitted through sex, which is a taboo subject in some cultures. HIV infection is the result of personal irresponsibility or moral fault (such as infidelity) that deserves to be punished.
