Civil society, researchers, advocacy groups and government are calling for a collaborative effort to end stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV and AIDS.
This emerged at the launch of the HIV Stigma Index 2.0 Report in Pretoria on Tuesday.
The study, compiled by the National Association of People Living with HIV and AIDS, the Human Sciences Research Council HSRC and the National AIDS Council, captures the experiences of more than 5 000 participants across the country.
