“HIV isn’t the death sentence it once was. But stigma still is.”
Young q***r people in India grow up without inclusive s*x education, without access to PrEP or PEP, and too afraid to even ask questions — not because they don’t care, but because the risk of being outed is too high. They’re made to feel that even asking is wrong, something to be ashamed of.
Every q***r person deserves to hear this:
Your health matters. Your questions are valid. Your protection is your right.

Today’s society prides itself on being the best time for all kind of people to thrive. In theory, the world has become much more accepting and topics like inclusivity and equal rights are discussed openly. However, the reality is not as promising. Many people still face discrimination based on health related issues.

The Grey Matter is back with its latest edition, ‘Conditioned to Conceal’ where we talk about stigma in the medical community. As a health centred newsletter, we hope to spread awareness about this sensitive topic through articles, poems and more.
