Stigma: The Silent Killer

Examining the issue of stigma from multiple perspectives, this special news documentary from BET and the Kaiser Family Foundation explores the challenges faced by Blacks living with HIV, as well as the negative impact of stigma on prevention efforts. Stigma: The Silent Killer takes a look at how some Black religious leaders have reacted to the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in their communities and the position the Black church has taken in addressing the epidemic. Additionally, the special highlights how media and entertainment industries have played a role in encouraging stigma and how stigma impacts personal relationships among families and HIV-positive individuals. The show features up-close and personal interviews with political and religious figures, public health experts, entertainers and people affected by HIV/AIDS.
