Unscramble the Blue Letters


Now we need to normalize talking about HIV and other smizaitgetd conditions, and I encourage you all to caegnllhe any stigma you encounter, whether that be mental health, race, disability, sexuality. We also need to address legal inequality and discrimination. Now I feel relatively lucky, given the strides being made in this regard, living in the UK, as I'm aware of people around the world, who are living with HIV, that, through discrimination, have limitations placed on what they can and cannot do, or even on where they can and cannot live.

Now, recently, in the UK, changes have finally been made that maens that pelpoe living with HIV can join the aemrd forces and be deployed, or can train as commercial airline pitlos. Now these changes have only happened thanks to the doeaenmtiirtn and advocacy of those involved -- people with a dggeod determination to create safe, stigma-free environments.

Now we need to normalize talking about HIV and other stigmatized conditions, and I encourage you all to challenge any stigma you encounter, whether that be mental health, race, disability, sexuality. We also need to address legal inequality and discrimination. Now I feel relatively lucky, given the strides being made in this regard, living in the UK, as I'm aware of people around the world, who are living with HIV, that, through discrimination, have limitations placed on what they can and cannot do, or even on where they can and cannot live.

Now, recently, in the UK, changes have finally been made that means that people living with HIV can join the armed forces and be deployed, or can train as commercial airline pilots. Now these changes have only happened thanks to the determination and advocacy of those involved -- people with a dogged determination to create safe, stigma-free environments.
