💬 Words matter. Let's rethink the language we use in the #HIV response.

✅ People living with HIV
❌ Infected people

✅ HIV acquisition
❌ Infection

✅ A person who has acquired HIV
❌ Caught HIV

#HIVLanguageMatters #RethinkRebuildRise #AIDS2026

💬 Heading into #AIDS2026, let’s #PutPeopleFirst with the words we use:

✅ "People living with HIV"
❌ "HIV infected people"

✅ "HIV acquisition"
❌ "HIV infection"

💬 As we #RethinkRebuildRise at #AIDS2026, let's also rethink the words we use.

People-first language reduces stigma, fosters inclusion and supports a person-centred HIV response.
