It is every­body’s busi­ness to work togeth­er Remov­ing Bar­ri­ers and stigma and dis­crim­in­a­tion across the health systems.

On this site you will find evid­ence of the stigma and dis­crim­in­a­tion exper­i­enced by people with blood-borne vir­uses, you will learn how this affects their health and treat­ment options, and you can find out how you can make a dif­fer­ence in your health care set­ting by help­ing to identi­fy and chal­lenge atti­tudes and beha­viours  that lead to stigma and discrimination.
