Reducing HIV stigma through appropriate language in scientific communications
This DZIF workshop addresses the use of appropriate, non-stigmatizing language in scientific communication in HIV research and follows the workhop "Bridging communities: Enhancing engagement through language in HIV research" during the International AIDS Conference 2024.
Many communities that have experienced trauma, racism, or lack of compassion and empathic communication in their interactions with medical institutions may be sceptical of scientific evidence and reluctant to engage in health care. In all cases, language is critical.
The workshop will bring together HIV communities and HIV researchers and aims to strengthen community involvement in DZIF-associated research.
Workshop programme:
- Presentations by HOPE Community members on language use and HIV stigma
- Panel discussion on the importance of language choice in research communications
- Informed guidance on engaging with communities through language in research
- Summary of results from the workshop "Bridging communities: Enhancing engagement through language in HIV research"
The workshop aims at all members of the DZIF research area HIV and all interested DZIF researchers.
