RT by @ECDC_EU: The Robert de Niro of HIV, @TeyNoori presents the European stigma survey, 38 languages, 54 countries, n=18,430 HCWs. 30% doctors not aware of U=U or PrEP
53% worries about dressing wounds in ppl with HIV, highest for students & worry correlated with lack of knowledge
#AIDS2024

[2024-07-26 09:16 UTC]

R to @ECDC_EU: The findings of the survey are particularly important as #HIVstigma is linked to negative healthcare outcomes such as delayed care, avoidance of health facilities, and poor adherence to medication, ultimately hampering #HIV prevention and treatment efforts.
