Sexual Transmission Ep 03: HIV Stigma is so 1986


Listen Later

Some things are back in trend like scrunchies and monochrome power suits.. but can we all just agree to leave HIV stigma in the 1980s? 

On this episode of Sexual Transmission NZAF's own Services and Outreach Coordinator Rodrigo Olin joins us to talk about the effects of stigma on people living with HIV. We examine stigma from all it's ugly angles including the gross comments from within the gay community to deeply rooted internalised stigma. 

Stef bravely shares some deeply personal stories and Blaise officially coins the term Intergenerational Internalised Serophobia (and not just to cheat at Scrabble). 

It's a heavy topic, but an important one. Is your HIV attitude up-to-date?

Stuff we talked about:

  • The 2018 Colmar Brunton Survey about New Zealanders Attitudes and Perceptions around People Living with HIV
  • Free Counselling at NZAF
  • Free HIV Test
  • An Ending HIV podcast
