Filters Content type: News, Editors' picks, About HIV Topic: Human rights

The marginalisation, stigmatisation and criminalisation of some groups of people increases their vulnerability to HIV; gender inequalities can prevent women and girls from being able to protect themselves from HIV; and discrimination prevents equitable access to healthcare.
