On the occasion of Zero Discrimination Day on 1 March, UNAIDS calls for an end to discrimination against people living with HIV.
Denn Diskriminierung und Ungleichheit in Bezug auf Einkommen, Klasse, ethnische Zugehörigkeit, Religion, Geschlecht und Geschlechtsidentität, sexuelle Orientierung, Alter, Gesundheitszustand, Behinderung oder Drogenkonsum stellen Barrieren im Kampf gegen HIV/AIDS sowie die COVID-19 Pandemie dar.
In this context, Aids Hilfe Wien points out that prejudices and lack of knowledge about HIV can lead to discrimination. It is important to know that an effective therapy suppresses the HIV virus in the body - to below the detection limit - so that it cannot be passed on in everyday life or during sex. It is necessary to deal with HIV-positive people without discrimination, because this is the key to early diagnosis and treatment of the HIV infection.
