Testing:
HIV testing is often avoided due to stigma or fear of legal repercussions. Worse, in some places, coerced testing violates autonomy and dignity. HIV testing must be voluntary, confidential, and rights-based.

Comments
Millions still lack access to life-saving ART due to healthcare inequities. Barriers like cost, discrimination, and lack of infrastructure violate the right to health. Everyone deserves access to treatment that can save lives.

Stigma in healthcare, workplaces, and communities keeps people from accessing vital care. Discrimination erodes trust and violates fundamental rights to dignity and equality.
