HIV Sitgma

17:30-20:00

LOCATION: Cambio Coffee, 861 Jiangning Lu, close to Haifang Lu

HIV-related stigma and discrimination refers to prejudice, negative attitudes and abuse directed at people living with HIV and AIDS. The fear surrounding the emerging HIV epidemic in the 1980s persists today. At that time, very little was known about how HIV is transmitted, which made people scared of those infected due to fear of contagion. The consequences of stigma and discrimination are wide-ranging. Some people are shunned by family, peers and the wider community, while others face poor treatment in healthcare and education settings, erosion of their human rights, and psychological damage. These all limit access to HIV testing, treatment and other HIV services. We can put an end to this stigma, let’s talk about it!MORE…

Romantic love, we all know what it is, we have seen it represented in almost every single mainstream movie and book around the world. This Sunday, let’s re-think romantic love together! How do we experience it? Is it natural or necessary? How does it work inside -our outside- a capitalistic dynamic? Does monogamy determine how deep or real is your love?
