Today is Zero HIV Stigma Day. This year’s theme is 'Fact Over Fear'. We have *so* much good science, inc 10y of U=U, but science alone does not end stigma, and it remains a huge barrier to ending HIV transmission. As BHIVA Chair I am committed to ending HIV stigma wherever it is seen or experienced
