I am an HIV physician and face HIV stigma daily. So, the best way to deal with stigma that surrounds HIV is to repeat the word 'HIV' over and over and over again on [a] daily basis, weekly basis, monthly basis and yearly basis.

In March 2014, the New Orleans Society for Infectious Disease Awareness, formed five years prior to raise HIV/AIDS awareness in the New Orleans area, received a construction permit for a new low-power (LP) FM radio station, which it announced would feature a community format with "programming dedicated to human rights and social justice". [2] The selection of the call letters was intended by its founders to help reduce the stigma surrounding HIV; [2] in 2016, New Orleans had the third-highest HIV infection rate in the United States, attributed to cultural stigmas in the Black community, local laws and high poverty rates. [3]
WHIV-LP began broadcasting on December 1, 2014—World AIDS Day. [4] Originally with a talk-heavy lineup that drew heavily from the Pacifica Radio Network, [5] the station expanded its music programming in 2016 [6] and had 70 different hosts and DJs by 2017. [7]
Originally housed at the Odyssey House drug treatment center, WHIV-LP moved to its own quarters on Orleans Avenue in 2015. [8] Less than a year later, the station suffered major damage in the 2016 Louisiana floods, with several pieces of equipment and furnishings being ruined. [7]
A fictional radio station named WHIV is mentioned in New Orleans writer Poppy Z. Brite's 1996 novel Exquisite Corpse , though there is no relation to the present station. [2] In that book, WHIV is a pirate radio station on a boat from which an HIV-positive character, Lucas Ransom, broadcasts. [9]
The AIDS epidemic, caused by HIV, found its way to the United States between the 1970s and 1980s, but was first noticed after doctors discovered clusters of Kaposi's sarcoma and pneumocystis pneumonia in homosexual men in Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco in 1981. Treatment of HIV/AIDS is primarily via the use of multiple antiretroviral drugs, and education programs to help people avoid infection.

Discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS or serophobia is the prejudice, fear, rejection, and stigmatization of people with HIV/AIDS. Marginalized, at-risk groups such as members of the LGBTQ+ community, intravenous drug users, and sex workers are most vulnerable to facing HIV/AIDS discrimination. The consequences of societal stigma against PLHIV are quite severe, as HIV/AIDS discrimination actively hinders access to HIV/AIDS screening and care around the world. Moreover, these negative stigmas become used against members of the LGBTQ+ community in the form of stereotypes held by physicians.
