Today, July 21, is Zero HIV Stigma Day

Zero HIV Stigma Day is a global movement where we raise awareness, educate one another, and make a commitment to ending the stigma surrounding HIV, once and for all.
Check out this recommendation from the USF Health Libraries’ Graphic Medicine collection:
📚 “Blue Pills: A Positive Love Story” by Frederick Peeters
In an autobiographical account about love in the time of AIDS, Frederik meets Cati and falls in love, but the two face many obstacles to happiness because Cati is HIV positive, just like her three-year-old son, in a deeply personal graphic memoir.
