The current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic has silenced the fight against HIV. Despite everything, we have not given up at any time in the battle against stigma and discrimination, as well as in the development of new prevention strategies.
People with HIV, today, continue to suffer discrimination and stigmatization, even if the issue is not discussed. It is everyone’s job to fight it through truthful and verified information.
In recent years, we have been able to advance in terms of prevention, as well as the quality of life of people with HIV.
Colors Sitges Link is the only entity in the Garraf region that performs the rapid testing service for HIV, Syphilis and Hepatitis C.
Since the start of the rapid test service, in mid-2020 and in the midst of the pandemic, 1000 tests have been carried out and almost 450 people from Sitges, Garraf and many parts of the world have been treated.
The association also offers emotional and psychological support service with a professional team of psychologists, and provides support and accompaniment through peers, to people who have recently been diagnosed with HIV.
From CSL we urge you not to forget and not to lower your guard.
For this reason we propose a series of events on the occasion of December 1, World AIDS Day.
