Forty years after the discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, awareness campaigns still circulate misconceptions and ignorance about this virus.
On the occasion of the World Day for the fight against AIDS, the very serious disease caused by HIV, we wonder about the discriminations that still weigh on HIV-positive people in our society.
What prejudices or ignorance lead to discrimination?
Fantasies, prejudices, harassment, social pressure on HIV-positive people… This is what Nicolas Aragona, president of the “Superséro” association, is fighting against, author of the
Petit dico des supers séros
(Kiwi editions, 2022).
This book aims to de-stigmatize seropositivity, but also, from the subject of HIV, to talk about managing epidemics.
The Niçois, very active on social networks, is the guest of our weekly audio interview "Tout Sexplication", devoted to sexuality and health.
Who knows that HIV-positive people on treatment do not transmit the virus, that they can have children?
Why are certain professions still prohibited for these people?
What is the violence linked to dating apps, which invite their users to define their HIV status?
What effort of the company to change the glance on the seropositive people, to give them a space and an expression in the company?
These are questions from this interview with Nicolas Aragona to listen to for free above.
