WEBINAR: Breaking Silence: Stigma, Strength, and Solidarity
We invite you to join Porchia Dees, DeKeitra Griffin, Jahn Jaramillo and Vanessa Leja on December 2, 2025, as part of a moderated webinar where they will be combatting stigma in 2025 with colorful and vibrant stories of resilience and lived experience.
The official global theme for World AIDS Day 2025 is "Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response". In order to transform the AIDS response, stigma needs a response. Stigma’s negative impact on individuals and communities related to HIV disclosure, HIV treatment and prevention efforts and HIV research run deep.
The Office of HIV/AIDS Network Coordination is proud to support a webinar series focused on combatting stigma. We look forward to having you be a part of this conversation.
