“If we want to fight AIDS effectively, we have to stop discriminating against people with HIV and AIDS. Because as long as people with HIV and AIDS have to be afraid of rejection, there will be people who cannot be tested or treated.”
“Berlin is the city with the highest population of people living with HIV in Germany. Therefore, the first and one of the most important steps to get Berlin on the fast track to end AIDS consists in creating Checkpoint BLN, an innovative hub for sexual health, integrating prevention, counseling and medical care.”
“Only an educated, respectful and accepting society, in which people living with HIV are integrated, can face the challenges of HIV successfully. We will fight the stigma, we will promote HIV testing and we will end the AIDS epidemic by 2030.”
“The biggest obstacle that people encounter on their way to getting tested is HIV-related stigma. People who know that they’ll be discriminated against—ostracized—when they are HIV-positive, they don’t want to get tested. If we want testing to be appealing, we must fight against discrimination.”
