HIV Disclosure Project

HIV Disclosure Project Published here are articles,images, thoughts, humour, music and photographs which address the challenges of living with and disclosing HIV.

As a means of understanding obstacles which prevent people living with HIV from disclosing to potential sex partners this page is designed by and for the HIV community and allies, who contribute using humour, role play, stories, images, articles, photographs, videos and any other type of media to address stigma, fear, terminology which reinforces stigma on the dating scene and criminalization.

The focus remains on educating the public about people living with HIV as we strives to promote tolerance, acceptance and understanding, on changing public perceptions of the reality of people living with HIV and to challenge the criminal justice system which criminalizes people living with HIV . Using this approach the goal is to empower individuals who are at potential risk when disclosing their HIV status, externalize stigma, and emphasize the importance of taking individual responsibility for ones’ own sexual health.

South Africa has a new weapon against HIV — the six-monthly lenacapavir injection. But in a country where TB and HIV have shared patients and clinics for decades, the roll-out immediately ran into a familiar challenge.

The drug at the heart of SA's standard TB treatment reduces lenacapavir levels in the blood, enough to leave people unprotected.

While modelling shows extra doses will do the trick, researchers still need to confirm it works in real life.

"The unadjusted life expectancy of U.S. women with HIV is 12 years less than U.S. women without HIV. Understanding how women with HIV die is necessary to reduce this disparity but is compromised by well-documented flaws with death certificate data."

"HIV stigma was considered a cause of death when it interfered with necessary medications and/or treatments or was a clear contributor to another cause of death (eg, medication nonadherence, depression)." Stigma is exacerbated by the notion that women are responsible for transmission of HIV, yet refuting this claim is completely ignored.

Methods: Using a period cross-sectional design, we compared multiple causes of death in women with HIV determined by structured meetings of an interdisciplinary clinic team with multiple causes of death listed on death certificates. We included deaths occurri...

What can we learn about Australia’s most diagnosed bacterial Sexually Transmitted Infection?

9 out of 10 people are without symptoms, which is why testing is the only sure way of knowing your chlamydia status.

In Australia, anyone who is s*xually active is at risk of contracting chlamydia but one of the populations most at risk, is men who have s*x with men, and their s*xual partners, which can include their female partners.
