South Africa is home to the largest
#HIV epidemic in the world. While HIV/AIDS is no longer a death sentence, patients need to know their status to access lifesaving treatments and stop the spread of the disease. Unfortunately, stigma is still a major barrier to HIV testing. That’s why
@unaidsglobal has partnered with
@Google and local groups to design a virtual reality program that combats stigma around HIV and works to raise rates of testing in young people. .
