Violence, stigma, and discrimination still threaten the lives of LGBTQ+ people around the world.
Nearly a third of all nations class LGBTQ+ people as criminals. Homosexuality is still punishable by death in 12 countries. This can make it impossible for the LGBTQ+ community – still one of the groups most affected by the HIV epidemic to get the healthcare they need.
This injustice is driving up infections and ultimately killing people.
Healthcare is a human right. But fear of recrimination and violence are keeping people from seeking basic services like HIV testing.
