In some areas if you open a clinic that deals solely with HIV and sexual health, attendance will be very low despite need because people are afraid to be seen using it.

Stigma’s such an enormous issue. I don’t think I can overstate how much it fucks shit up the world over from my standpoint working in the healthcare sector.
