STIGMA KILLS: “Stigma remains the single most important barrier to public action. It is a main reason why too many people are afraid to see a doctor to determine whether they have the disease, or to seek treatment if so.

Stigma is the chief reason why the AIDS epidemic continues to devastate societies around the world.” Ban Ki-Moon United Nations Secretary-General
