GLAAD reported on Thursday that most Americans say they have not seen stories about people living with HIV in the media.

In its sixth annual State of HIV Stigma report, GLAAD says, “72% of Americans report they have not seen stories featuring real people living with HIV in the media over the past 12 months, an increase from 66% in 2024.”

“When the public sees people living with HIV lead long and successful lives, it helps inspire comfort with HIV testing and treatment,” the report reads, in part.
