UNAIDS
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) leads and inspires the world to achieve its shared vision of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths.
Language shapes beliefs and may influence behaviours. Considered use of appropriate language has the power to strengthen the global response to the AIDS epidemic. This introductory course from UNAIDS highlights some of the preferred terms to use in the HIV and AIDS sphere, as well as more broadly when addressing equalities and empowerment.
