"Addressing Intersectional Stigma and Discrimination to Improve HIV-Related Outcomes" AJPH Supplement Featuring DC CFAR Investigators |
The American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) has released a special issue entitled " Addressing Intersectional Stigma and Discrimination to Improve HIV-Related Outcomes" which features a series of articles focused on the topic of intersectional stigma in the context of HIV prevention, treatment and care for communities and groups historically marginalized by multiple and intersecting forms of stigma and discrimination (e.g., racism, heterosexism, xenophobia, and sexism). This open access AJPH issue was facilitated by funding provided by the National Institutes of Health Office of AIDS Research and the National Institute of Mental Health. DC CFAR SBS Core Co-Director Dr. Lisa Bowleg (GW) was one of the guest editors of the supplement and author of several articles along with DC CFAR Investigators Mr. Cheriko Boone (TAG), former CPC Chair Ms. Marcia Ellis, SBS Core Director Dr. Deanna Kerrigan (GW), Dr. Jonathon Rendina (WW), Dr. Ana María del Río-González (GW), Dr. Carlos Rodriguez-Diaz (GW) and Dr. Tamara Taggart (GW). We invite you to read these research articles and community insights illustrating actions and recommendations to reduce intersectional stigma and discrimination.
