TOWN HALL MEETING TODAY, JULY 29th, @ 6pm EST: HIV Stigma is Still REAL. "If you didn't show up today with HIV, AIDS, any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that'll make you die in two or three weeks, put your cellphone light in the air." I’m sure by now many of you have heard the hateful remarks shared by rapper Da Baby at last weekend’s Rolling Loud Festival. His comments above and others stigmatized PLHIV, Women and Gay/Bisexual men. This incident has reminded us of the work we do now, and the work we must continue. ESCALATE is one of the programs that NMAC is using to fight against HIV stigma. There are other ways as well, and one of those is to talk openly about HIV. We are planning a Town Hall to discuss Da Baby’s comments and why they are wrong. We will also discuss the impacts it has on community and invite some of our CAP members to participate in this live virtual conversation.
