Not knowing the facts about HIV may lead to discrimination. People with HIV and their allies can combat this by talking openly about HIV to help normalize the subject and provide correct information. The CDC’s Let’s Stop HIV Together resource page features a language guide that encourages people to use supportive words and phrases when talking about HIV/AIDS. If you think your rights have been violated because of your HIV/AIDS status or because someone has suspicions about your HIV/AIDS status, even if they are not true, you can file a complaint with the Americans with Disabilities Act at ADA.gov.
