stigma

can we define stigma really guys. i mean for me is a way of treating someone as if they dont deserve to have a life in the society anymore, because maybe they are doing the right thing. And this kind of cases are common among the youths. I will just give a common example, when it comes to matters of HIV and AIDS its very common, i mean many youths fear going for an HIV test because they fear being stigmatize.And this issue as really affected the chances of eradicating this virus in the society. What can we really do about this issue of stigma? inorder to encourage the the youths to go for an HIV test . i think we should come together as youths and fight this problem of stigmatization and that is the only way we will eradicate this problem once and for all
