Background

The HIV epidemic continues to impact millions of people worldwide, with an estimated 37.7 million individuals living with HIV in 2020. Despite significant progress in treatment and prevention, the journey of living with HIV can often be accompanied by feelings of loneliness, isolation, and the burden of stigma and discrimination. Many individuals face challenges in finding understanding and acceptance from their families, communities, and even healthcare providers. These experiences can contribute to poor mental health, reduced adherence to treatment, and an increased risk of HIV transmission.
