Abstract :

As an American born citizen, where Daniel Bauer has experienced his fair share of trials and tribulations living with HIV and man-made HIV stigma that still thrives in America, nothing could prepare Bauer for what he was about to endure as he prepared to relocate to India to become the Director of an international school in the heart of Gurgaon. This special session is a true to life story of the actual events that took place which left Daniel Bauer in a life and death situation with very scary, uncertain outcomes. Attendees will learn how HIV Stigma is thriving globally and also learn how discrimination does not exist with everyone. Following the telling of this heart-pounding journey, attendees will be invited to discuss ways in which we as a global community can work closer together to educate more on the myths and facts of those living with HIV in hopes of continuing to eradicate HIV Stigma world-wide.
