Why You Need To Get Behind the Transgender Equality Movement

"In an era where antiretroviral medications can keep people with the disease alive into their seventies and beyond, and a once daily pill can prevent those at risk from contracting it, stigma has remained HIV's closest accomplice.

So it really is no surprise that groups buried in multiple layers of stigma – minorities, the economically disadvantaged, injection drug users – remain some of HIV's last strongholds.
