"Stigma and lack of knowledge about HIV & AIDS" was the topic of a compelling presentation by Pro-Chancellor of the University of Guyana Prem Misir, who launched his first health book in front of expatriates at the Consulate General of Guyana in New York City, recently.
The former associate public health epidemiologist of the Bureau of HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control of NY City was motivated to write "HIV&AIDS Knowledge and Stigma in Guyana" after conducting interviews with N.Y. residents where discrimination and stigma among all races were evident.
Misir, a professor in Public Health at the University of Central Lancaster in England, said his interest in how the disease is transmitted and how stigma impacts awareness, peaked his interest and led him to publish this fundamental tool that will be used by health professionals, educators and policymakers throughout the Caribbean region.
