Calls for govt to address HIV/Aids stigma

Gonyela says stigma makes it difficult for people to go to health facilities for their medication. She says those living with the virus are sometimes stigmatized even in health care facilities and their status is usually publicly disclosed without their consent.

“Stigma that comes from different angles; by that I mean from family members, community to health care workers. If you are stigmatized by health care workers, it becomes difficult for you to go back to take your medication. There is a tendency that health care workers sometimes do; if you are known to be HIV positive, they make remarks and call you by your illness, ‘those who are for ARVs queue this side and those who are here for their CD4 queue this side.
