North Louisiana HIV Stigma Summit
Living Beyond Labels: Transforming The Narrative Around HIV
The 2025 HIV Stigma Summit brings our community together to combat stigma through education and dialogue. We aim to reduce HIV-related discrimination by sharing accurate information, facilitating meaningful conversations between people living with HIV (PLWH), their support networks, and the broader community. Through strategic partnerships and coalitions, we're working to promote equity, dispel harmful myths, and create a more supportive environment for all affected by HIV.
A key focus of this year's summit includes advancing proven biomedical solutions like PrEP and Treatment as Prevention. We'll highlight the vital message that Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U), demonstrating how these scientific breakthroughs can help end the HIV epidemic in North Louisiana. Join us as we work toward a future free from stigma and misinformation.
