Nov 27, 2015World AIDS Day in Basel – Fighting the StigmaEven now, in 2015, being diagnosed with HIV brings a stigma for those who are affected and there is a great fear of discrimination. That it does not always have to be this way is demonstrated in a film from Tanzania premiering in Basel on World AIDS Day on 1 December 2015: “JUST LIKE YOU – WIE DU UND ICH”. The film portrays an HIV-positive female pastor who, together with a large self-help group, has successfully broken her society’s silence concerning HIV/AIDS. |
