GLAAD report finds most Americans see no HIV stories in media
GLAAD MAD: The LGBTQ media advocacy group says in its annual State of HIV Stigma Report that most Americans have gone a full year without encountering a single story about someone living with HIV, a gap that GLAAD says is fueling stigma even as medical treatment for the virus has become more effective than ever.
TL;DR
- Most Americans have not seen a story about someone living with HIV in the last year.
- GLAAD attributes this media gap to fueling stigma.
- This occurs even as HIV treatments have become highly effective.
