Whether you are newly diagnosed or a long-term survivor, the added burden of living with HIV stigma can sometimes get you down. That's just one reason it's as important to manage your mental health as it is your physical health. In fact, our mental well being impacts our overall health and issues like depression can make HIV harder to treat.  Unfortunately, there will never be a cure for HIV stigma until there's a cure for HIV. In the meantime, when you start to feel down, follow this 7-day detox to shed that excess stigma, lighten up and feel like yourself again.​
